Something occurred to me today. We use a secure chat platform (PerfectServe) for all our hospital communications. By default, Apple has Apple Intelligence enabled to learn from apps. This was turned on when I installed iOS 26, but I turned it off for apps that contain HIPAA information (PerfectServe, Epic Haiku, etc.).

How many of you turn these things off so Apple Intelligence doesn't learn from the app or analyze data from it? I am unsure if Apple has ensured third-party audits/HITECH compliance audits to ensure HIPAA information is secure.

Do any of you work in health systems that have a policy regarding this?
