FHE use cases:
Secure Databases
A secure database protects stored data through measures and practices that ensure security, integrity, and availability whilst preventing unauthorised access
Health and Pharmaceutical Use Cases
Secure Query of Medical Research Databases
In clinical research, researchers can query large medical databases for data on conditions or treatments of interest without disclosing the exact medical condition or patient characteristics they are investigating.
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
A healthcare provider could provide their clinicians with accurate answers to clinical questions by using RAG to assist in responding to patient inquiries. A RAG model retrieves up-to-date medical guidelines, research studies, and treatment protocols from a medical knowledge base.
Encrypted Database Query
A hospital can leverage encrypted database queries to allow healthcare professionals to securely access patient records without exposing patient data.
