Healthcare & Dental industry

ANT Product Suite for Healthcare & Dental Industry

Data protection, operational compliance, and smart workforce coordination — in one integrated ecosystem.

 

 

1️⃣ Real-World Challenges in Healthcare and Dentistry

Modern healthcare and dental organizations face several recurring challenges:

Challenge

Description

Patient Data Protection

Handling sensitive medical data (EHRs, diagnostics, imaging) across multiple systems while ensuring GDPR and NIS2 compliance.

Regulatory Pressure

Clinics must prove continuous compliance to data protection authorities and health regulators.

Fragmented Processes

Administrative, medical, and technical workflows often rely on separate tools with limited integration.

Human Factor Risks

High staff turnover, complex access rights, and human errors expose clinics to data breaches or misuse.

Cybersecurity & Fraud

Increased risk of data theft, identity abuse, and unauthorized access to clinical systems or patient records increase chances for potential regulatory penalty.

Operational Inefficiency

Manual reporting, task duplication, and lack of automation slow down treatment and administrative processes.

 

 

2️⃣ ANT Virtual DPO – Privacy and GDPR Automation for Medical Data

Functionality Overview:

  • Automates data subject requests (Right of Access, Erasure, Rectification, Portability) for patients, employees, and partners.

  • Clinic audited by data protection authority → one-click export of all evidence logs from ANT DPO.

Key Benefits:

  • Zero missed GDPR deadlines.

  • Transparent, documented compliance for audits.

  • Lower legal and reputational risk.

 

3️⃣ ANT Virtual ISO – Information Security & NIS2 Readiness

Functionality Overview:

  • Establishes and maintains ISO 27001 and NIS2 security frameworks without a full-time ISO officer.

  • Continuous risk assessment, incident monitoring, and system vulnerability reporting.

  • Integrates with clinic IT infrastructure (servers, medical devices, PACS, EHR, dental imaging systems).

  • 24/7 Monitors user access, authentication, and endpoint health across networks.

Solves Real-Life Problems:

  • A clinic experiences repeated ransomware attempts — ANT ISO detects anomalies and triggers incident response protocols.

  • Dental chain expanding across regions — ANT ISO standardizes all clinics under one security policy and compliance structure.

  • IT audit scheduled — ANT ISO automatically compiles ISO/NIS2 compliance documentation.

Key Benefits:

  • Centralized security posture overview.

  • Preventive protection against system breaches.

  • Simplified certification and regulatory reporting.

 

4️⃣ ANT Smart Worker – Workforce and Compliance in Daily Operations

Functionality Overview:

  • Manages medical and technical staff, shifts, and equipment with real-time visibility.

  • Integrates identity verification and device status via Network APIs (SIM, device, and location control).

  • Automates task creation from treatment plans, maintenance cycles, or regulatory milestones (e.g., sterilization logs, ISO audit prep).

 

Solves Real-Life Problems:

  • Dental chair maintenance overdue → ANT Smart Worker automatically generates a task for technician and logs completion.

  • Nurse changes department → role-based access and digital identity updated automatically.

  • Clinic compliance review → instant overview of which departments completed required privacy or hygiene trainings.

·        Supports employee data privacy protection, ensuring GDPR compliance for all HR-related workflows.

Key Benefits:

  • Full traceability of every medical, administrative, or maintenance action.

  • Better workforce coordination and accountability.

  • Compliance embedded into daily operations — not as a separate burden.

Employee Data Privacy Protection:

• HR team manages sensitive staff records (certificates, shift logs, contracts) → ANT Smart Worker applies data minimization and access restrictions in accordance with GDPR principles.
• When an employee leaves the clinic or a potential candidate finishes the employment process → ANT triggers automatic anonymization or deletion of personal data after the retention period.
• Staff exercising their GDPR Rights by Data Subject (RBDS) (e.g., access to personal data, correction, or erasure) → requests are routed to ANT Virtual DPO, while Smart Worker provides full processing visibility.
• During audits → HR managers can prove full compliance through timestamped records, training confirmations, and audit trails automatically generated by ANT Smart Worker.

Key Benefits:

  • Combines operational efficiency with employee data protection.

  • Reduces compliance workload for HR and clinic management.

  • Enhances workforce trust and transparency through secure digital processes.

  • Provides end-to-end accountability from staff onboarding to offboarding.

6️⃣ Patient Data Lifecycle – GDPR RBDS in a Health Clinic

Purpose:
To illustrate how a patient’s data travels through a healthcare or dental clinic’s ecosystem, and how the ANT product suite ensures continuous GDPR and NIS2 compliance at each step.

Lifecycle Overview

Stage

Clinic Activity

GDPR Right / Regulatory Context

ANT Functional Support

1. Appointment & Registration

Patient provides personal and medical data (name, OIB, contact, health card).

Right to Information (Articles 12–14 GDPR): clinic must inform the patient about data processing and consent.

ANT Virtual DPO delivers pre-filled privacy notices and logs patient consent. ANT Smart Worker ensures reception staff use secure data entry interfaces.

2. Diagnosis & Treatment

Medical team collects diagnostic data, imaging, and treatment notes.

Right of Access / Rectification (Articles 15–16): patients may later request access or correction.

ANT Virtual DPO manages access and rectification workflows. ANT ISO monitors secure storage and authorized access to medical systems.

3. Data Sharing (Specialists, Labs, Insurers)

Data exchanged with third-party entities for lab results, insurance claims, or external consultations.
