Blur patient faces and identifiers in healthcare media
SmartBlur supports healthcare privacy workflows by keeping photo and video processing local while giving teams automatic and manual redaction tools.
Who this is for
- Clinics preparing educational media or internal training clips
- Researchers anonymizing participant images and recordings
- Telehealth, therapy, and patient support teams reviewing recorded media
Why SmartBlur fits
- Local processing helps reduce unnecessary exposure of patient media to cloud editors.
