What we store
- Account email and a hashed password, or Google account id when you choose Continue with Google.
- Saved cases: rubric IDs and weights in plain form. Patient name, age, gender, and optional address, phone, email, chief complaint, notes and prescription are encrypted with a server key (libsodium). Follow-up date is stored as a date so the Patients reminder list can query it without decrypting every case.
- Patient chart: identity and case-taking notes (history, generals, negatives, and the rest of the worksheet) are encrypted on the patient row. Visit timeline notes and visit prescriptions are encrypted per visit. Names are decrypted only for the signed-in doctor. The list label stored in the database is not a real name.
- Anonymous search query logs (query text and result count) to improve synonyms, not linked to patient names.
- AI usage counts only (how many conversions per day). Case text is not stored in the database.
AI case input
When you use Describe case, the text you submit (after simple redaction of emails, phone numbers, and similar identifiers) is sent to a third-party AI provider so we can extract short repertory search phrases. Providers may include Groq, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter, depending on availability. Some free provider tiers may use prompts to improve their models. HomeoShip does not keep that case text in MySQL. The server may cache only the short search phrases and matched rubric IDs for a limited time to cut cost. A draft of what you typed can remain in your browser until you clear it or convert successfully. Rubric suggestions are matched only against our own repertory database. Do not paste names or contact details.
