UCSF uses AI agents with patient data in secure Jupyter notebooks

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco are developing a method to use AI agents in clinical research without compromising sensitive patient data. They are integrating the open-source Biorouter project with Jupyter notebooks to enable AI access to protected clinical data within institutional security frameworks. This approach aims to support biomedical discovery by providing a secure environment for AI agents to interact with real patient data. AI

IMPACT Enables secure use of AI agents in sensitive clinical research, potentially accelerating biomedical discovery.
