Is Nutrient HIPAA-compliant?
Nutrient provides the tools to help your application meet HIPAA requirements — including encryption, redaction, secure access control, and audit logging. You control how and where data is stored, and our SDKs can be deployed in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure.
Can I extract structured data from health documents?
Yes. Our OCR and data extraction tools support key-value pairs, table extraction, handwriting recognition, and multilingual content. Structured output formats — like JSON — make it easy to route data to EHRs, claims platforms, or analytics systems.
Do you support scanned forms and handwritten notes?
Absolutely. Nutrient’s OCR engine is optimized for healthcare use cases, including scanned forms and handwritten records. You can make them searchable, extract data, or convert to archival formats like PDF/A.
Can multiple healthcare users collaborate securely?
Yes. Our SDKs support role-based collaboration, secure annotation, and in-document commenting — so clinicians, staff, and administrators can work together without duplicating effort or leaving your app.
What formats and systems can Nutrient integrate with?
Nutrient works with PDFs, Word documents, images, scanned files, and more. Our SDKs integrate easily with JavaScript, .NET, Java, iOS, Android, and server environments — so you can support desktop, mobile, and web-based health platforms.
Can Nutrient help with prior authorization workflows?
Yes. Nutrient helps streamline prior authorizations by enabling healthcare apps to capture, fill, and process forms digitally. Teams can extract required data from scanned documents, apply digital signatures, redact sensitive information, and route completed forms securely — all within a HIPAA-conscious workflow. Our SDKs support PDF, Word, and image formats and integrate with both frontend and backend systems.
