Secret médical

Compliance and law

The duty covering everything that comes to a physician's knowledge in the course of practice (art. R.4127-4 of the French Public Health Code), enforced by criminal law (art. 226-13 of the Penal Code). Pasting patient data into an AI tool hosted by a third party means entrusting it to that third party: the choice of tool puts the secret at stake.
