NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Image, one of the world's largest global networks for sharing clinical and imaging data that is powered by leading interoperability standards, today announced the launch of a new enhancement and validation service that optimizes the de-identification functionality of the Google Cloud Healthcare API, which helps to power healthcare insights for security and compliance-focused environments.

Protected health information (PHI) embedded in images has traditionally been extremely difficult to de-identify at scale. Specifically, Life Image provided third-party evaluation of the Google Cloud Healthcare API and found that it outperformed other tools in the market in its accuracy at de-identifying PHI contained in imaging pixels, metadata tags and associated notes.

In addition, Life Image will also offer a value-add service that uses a combination of machine learning and human validators to further augment the tool in order to achieve accuracy levels consistent with some of the most stringent compliance requirements and beyond those operating in healthcare today. Combined, the Life Image service and Google Cloud Healthcare API can help protect patient information and promote accelerated research development.

The Google Cloud Healthcare API was built to store and process imaging data across modalities, manufacturers and site locations. It is capable of enabling and supporting medical imaging workflows across clinical, analytical, research and other use cases. In addition, the Google Cloud Healthcare API provides capabilities that can help remove PHI from this data at scale while retaining useful information, such as demographics and clinical content, without the need for extensive custom configuration that is required by other tools in the market.

Life Image leveraged its access to one of the world’s largest sets of medical images to internally evaluate the Google Cloud Healthcare API’s performance. Life Image determined the de-identification tool can remove PHI from millions of imaging files within just hours, and sometimes minutes, across all the major global manufacturers and modalities, and for a wide range of clinical use cases.

Life Image’s value-added service will further optimize the Google Cloud Healthcare API’s de-identification performance to a high level of accuracy by applying its own advanced machine learning capabilities, in-depth imaging expertise and a service validation layer to closely filter and distinguish imaging data.
