Nexus-MD Launches Offline De-ID: On-Premise De-identification Solution Powered by NVIDIA and HPE

Nexus-MD, the leading medical imaging workflow automation platform, today announced the launch of Offline De-ID, an on-premise solution for de-identifying Protected Health Information (PHI) in medical imaging datasets. Built on enterprise infrastructure from HPE and accelerated by NVIDIA's cutting-edge GPU technology, Offline De-ID addresses the growing need for secure, compliant de-identification in healthcare research and AI development.

The Challenge: Security Meets Scale

As healthcare institutions increasingly leverage medical imaging data for research and AI training, protecting patient privacy has become paramount. Traditional cloud-based de-identification services require uploading sensitive data to external servers, creating security vulnerabilities and compliance concerns that many institutions find unacceptable.

"Research institutions and hospitals told us they needed a way to de-identify large imaging datasets without ever sending patient data outside their secure environment," said Ali Bakhshinejad, PhD, CEO of Nexus-MD. "Offline De-ID delivers enterprise-grade performance while ensuring data never leaves the facility. It's the best of both worlds—security and speed."

How It Works

Offline De-ID operates entirely on-premise, eliminating the need for internet connectivity or cloud services. The solution:

• Integrates with existing PACS infrastructure without workflow disruption
• Uses AI-powered detection to identify PHI in DICOM headers, pixel data, and embedded text
• Automatically removes or anonymizes sensitive information according to HIPAA Safe Harbor standards
• Provides complete audit trails for compliance and accountability

Powered by Industry Leaders

The solution leverages NVIDIA's Grace Blackwell architecture with 5th generation Tensor Cores for GPU-accelerated AI processing, combined with HPE's enterprise-grade infrastructure for reliability and scalability.

"This partnership demonstrates how cutting-edge hardware can solve real-world healthcare challenges," added Ayin Vala, Chief AI Officer at Nexus-MD. "We're processing thousands of studies per day with the same AI models used in cloud solutions, but with the security guarantees that research institutions require."

Who Benefits

Offline De-ID is designed for organizations that prioritize data security and regulatory compliance:
