The client specializes in continuous respiration sensing and high-adherence, patient-friendly ambulatory monitoring. Its mission is to harness the power of algorithms and sensors to improve health outcomes by empowering patients and physicians with useful and actionable data. Currently, they work with partners across a range of health conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, asthma, sleep disorders, and anxiety.

The Challenge

The client needed comprehensive and continuous compliance across all its cloud environments to be fully compliant with HIPAA regulations, which involves setting up a documented process for monitoring, maintenance, patching, and encryption. eJapan Office was there to help the company work through the technical portion of the HIPAA Risk Assessment and establish best practice protocols for protecting electronic data.

The Solution

eJapan Office set up a secure environment for the client to maintain least privileges based on user roles and responsibilities, and automate infrastructure provisioning. Advanced AWS security services were implemented to ensure the highest level of security and compliance. We used AWS NIST Accelerator, RBAC, AWS Transfer Family, and other Third Party Services such as DataDog, Terraform, DashSDK, Okta, OpsGenie, CrowdStrike, Ermetic, CloudFlare.

The Result

The client is able to meet the HIPAA compliance requirements proactively and cost-effectively. With weekly support and performance optimization from AWS Trusted Advisor, eJapan Office is able to address the evolving cost optimization, reliability, and scalability needs of the client. With a cloud environment that is fault-tolerant and scalable, The client has been able to streamline policy management, billing & rating, and claims.

How artificial intelligence can help to deploy and manage HIPAA.

HIPAA compliance is essential for health care providers, insurers, and other entities that handle health data. However, achieving and maintaining HIPAA compliance can be challenging, especially in the era of digital transformation and cloud computing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can offer a solution to this challenge. AI is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and decision making. AI can help to deploy and manage HIPAA compliance in several ways, such as:

Automating the assessment of HIPAA risks and gaps. AI can analyze the current state of an organization’s data security and privacy practices, identify potential vulnerabilities and non-compliance issues, and provide recommendations for improvement.
Enhancing the detection and response to HIPAA breaches. AI can monitor the network and data activity, detect anomalies and suspicious behaviors, and alert the relevant stakeholders in real time. AI can also help to contain and mitigate the impact of a breach, and generate reports for regulatory authorities.
Streamlining the documentation and auditing of HIPAA compliance. AI can automate the creation and maintenance of policies, procedures, and records that demonstrate compliance with HIPAA rules. AI can also facilitate the auditing process by providing evidence and insights for internal and external auditors.

AI can help to deploy and manage HIPAA compliance more efficiently, effectively, and reliably than traditional methods. By leveraging AI, organizations can reduce the cost and complexity of compliance, improve their data security and privacy posture, and enhance their reputation and trustworthiness in the health care industry.
