Local AI for doctors: patient records and reports 100% on-site
Doctors face a dilemma in 2026. On one hand, artificial intelligence offers considerable time savings: report writing, record summarization, prescription writing assistance, research in medical documentation. On the other hand, medical confidentiality and the GDPR prohibit sending health data to remote servers, often located outside Europe. Cloud tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini are therefore legally risky, even prohibited, for processing patient data.
The solution exists: local AI, hosted 100% on-site, in your office or facility. Open-source language models reached a quality level comparable to the best proprietary models in 2026, and consumer hardware allows them to run directly on a machine installed at your location. No data leaves your network. This guide explains why and how to deploy sovereign AI for medical practice.
Why cloud AI is a risk to medical confidentiality
Beyond legal risks, there is a matter of trust. A patient entrusts their most intimate data to their doctor, not to a foreign tech company. Local AI restores this trust: information remains physically in the office, on a machine fully controlled by the practitioner.
What local AI enables in a medical office
Report writing
Dictate or enter consultation details, the AI structures a clear and complete report. You review, correct, and approve it. Administrative writing time is significantly reduced.
Patient record summary
Query a patient's history in natural language: medical history, current treatments, test results. The AI produces a summary in seconds, without the data leaving the office.
Prescription writing assistance
AI helps formulate structured prescriptions based on your instructions, respecting dosage and mandatory mentions. Validation always remains the practitioner's responsibility.
Internal document research
Query your database of protocols, best practice recommendations, and internal documentation in natural language, without relying on an external search engine.
Coding and billing assistance
AI assists in searching for ICD codes, identifying procedures, and preparing billing based on consultation elements.
Local transcription
Convert your consultation recordings into text directly on the machine, without an online transcription service. The patient's voice never leaves the practice network.
Local AI or cloud AI for a doctor: the comparison
| Criterion | Cloud AI (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) | Radiance local AI |
|---|---|---|
| Patient data location | Third-party servers, often outside the EU | 100% in the practice |
| Medical confidentiality compliance | Not guaranteed | No transmission to third parties |
| GDPR compliance | To be demonstrated, risky transfers | Compliant by design |
| Cost | Monthly subscription per user | One-time investment, no subscription |
| Offline operation | Internet connection required | Works without internet |
| Practitioner control | Depends on the provider | Total |
What hardware to run a local medical AI
A local AI relies on a language model (LLM) running on a graphics card. The key criterion is video memory (VRAM): it determines the size of the models you can use, and therefore the quality of the responses. For medical use in a practice, a 14-billion-parameter model already offers excellent writing and summarizing quality, and runs comfortably on a 16 GB VRAM card.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a local AI truly compliant with medical confidentiality and GDPR?
Yes, by design. A local AI runs entirely on a machine installed in your practice. No patient data is transmitted to an external server, eliminating the risk of non-compliant transfer. Coupled with a secure network, it forms an infrastructure compliant with health data regulations. As with any data processing, it is still recommended to document your approach and keep your records up to date.
How does the quality of a local AI compare to ChatGPT?
In 2026, the best open-source models rival proprietary models in almost all writing, summarizing, and document analysis tasks. For report writing, case summarization, or writing assistance, a well-chosen local model offers quality more than sufficient for routine medical practice.
Do I need to be an IT specialist to use a local AI?
No. Our stations come with the AI environment already installed and configured. The interface looks like a standard chat tool, accessible from a browser. The practitioner uses it without any technical skills. We also offer user training during installation.
Can the local AI access my existing files and protocols?
Yes, thanks to a feature called RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). You upload your documents (protocols, recommendations, internal database) to the machine, and the AI can query them in natural language. These documents remain stored locally, with no external transmission.
Which machine should I choose for my practice?
For an individual practitioner, the CoreAI 16 station (starting from 1 703 €) is more than enough. For a group practice or clinic wanting a shared server, the NVIDIA GB10 mini-server (starting from 3 999 €) or the CoreAI 64 station are more suitable. We advise you based on your activity volume and number of users.
Do you offer on-site installation?
Yes. We offer on-site installation in France and Europe, including networking, AI environment setup, and user training. You start with a fully operational solution.
