Privacy and data
Last updated June 2026
LiverAI is a clinical decision support tool developed by Mildmay Research Center Uganda. Because the product works with medical images, the way data is handled sits at the centre of how it is designed. This statement explains the principles that guide that work and describes how information is treated both on this website and within the tool itself. It is written in plain language so that clinicians, partners, and patients can understand our commitments without needing a legal background.
This website
The pages you are reading are an informational company website. They do not ask you to create an account, and they do not run any analysis on patient images. The contact form is the only place where you may choose to enter personal details, and it works by preparing a message in your own email application. You review that message and decide whether to send it. The website does not collect, transmit, or store the contents of the form on its own servers.
If you contact us by email, telephone, or the contact form, we use the details you provide solely to respond to your enquiry and to follow up on the conversation you have started. We do not sell that information, and we do not share it with unrelated third parties.
How LiverAI handles clinical data
When LiverAI is used in a clinical setting, the protection of patient information is treated as a primary requirement rather than an afterthought. Our approach rests on a small number of firm commitments.
- Images are intended to be de-identified before they are analysed, so that the system works with the clinical content of a scan rather than with information that identifies an individual.
- Clinical data remains under the control of the healthcare provider that holds the relationship with the patient. LiverAI is built to fit into that responsibility, not to take ownership of it.
- Deployment options are designed for low-resource and connectivity-constrained settings, which means the product can operate close to the point of care rather than depending on a constant link to a distant server.
- Access to any clinical information is limited to the purpose for which it was provided, namely supporting a clinician in reviewing a liver ultrasound and producing the associated report.
The precise configuration of a deployment, including where images are processed and how records are retained, is agreed with each clinical partner so that it matches their own obligations and the regulations that apply in their setting.
Patient consent and clinical responsibility
LiverAI supports qualified healthcare professionals. It does not replace clinical judgement, specialist radiology review, or a definitive diagnosis. Responsibility for obtaining patient consent, for interpreting results in context, and for deciding on care remains with the treating clinician and the institution, in line with local law and professional standards.
Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect information associated with the product and with enquiries made through this site. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, and we work with partners to apply safeguards that are suitable for the sensitivity of medical data.
Changes to this statement
As the product grows and as it is deployed in new settings, this statement may be updated to reflect how data is handled in practice. When we make a material change, we will revise the date shown above.
