🔒 Your Biggest Privacy Decision

Your patient data stays
on your Computer. Always.

Every other AI scribe sends your patient conversations to a server somewhere. Maple Scribe never does. Here's exactly what that means for your clinic.

How It Actually Works

Follow the path of your patient's voice

Every word spoken in your exam room takes a different journey depending on which tool you use.

☁️ Other AI Scribes — Cloud Processing

What happens to your patient's words

🎙️

Patient speaks in exam room

Your microphone captures the consultation

📤

Audio uploaded to company servers

Your patient's voice leaves your clinic and travels to a data centre — often in the US or internationally

🌐

Processed on third-party infrastructure

AI models on external servers transcribe and generate your note — out of your control

🗄️

Data retained by vendor

Most vendors retain audio or transcripts for model training, quality review, or an unspecified period

📋

SOAP note returned to you

The finished note is sent back over the internet to your screen

⚠️ Patient data crossed at least 2–4 external systems. You have no visibility into where it went or who can access it.

🍁 Maple Scribe — Local Processing

What happens to your patient's words

🎙️

Patient speaks in exam room

Your microphone captures the consultation

💻

Audio stays on your Computer

The audio is processed entirely by your computer — it never leaves your device

🧠

Local AI transcribes and generates note

Maple Scribe runs on your computer to process the audio into a medical note — zero network requests made

🔒

Data never retained

Nothing is stored outside the clinic or even on your computer — only you control what happens to the output

📋

SOAP note appears instantly

Your note is ready in seconds — while you're still with the patient

✅ Patient data never left your building. PIPEDA & PHIPA compliant by design — not by policy.

Why It Matters

The privacy difference that policy can't fix

Cloud scribes write privacy policies. Maple Scribe built privacy into the architecture.

🇨🇦

PIPEDA & PHIPA by Design

Cloud scribes achieve compliance through contracts and policies. Maple Scribe achieves it architecturally — patient data physically cannot leave your clinic because it never travels anywhere.

⚡

No Internet, No Problem

Cloud scribes stop working when your internet goes down. Maple Scribe works at rural clinics, home visits, or anywhere — because it has no dependency on any external network.

🛑

No Vendor Risk

Cloud scribes can change their privacy policy, get acquired, suffer a data breach, or raise prices without warning. You own Maple Scribe outright — no vendor can change what you already purchased.

📂

You Own the Output

Many cloud scribes retain transcripts and audio recordings for model training. With Maple Scribe, the only copy of your patient encounter exists where you put it — your EMR.

🧾

Audit-Ready

If CMPA or a regulatory body ever asks how you handle patient data, your answer is simple: it never left the building. That is a far stronger position than pointing to a vendor's BAA.

🏥

Built by a Physician

Maple Scribe was built by a Canadian family physician who uses it daily. Not by a tech company optimizing for growth — by someone who understands what's at stake in an exam room.

True Cost of Ownership
