Draft the note. Without losing sleep over where the data went.
Clinicians keep telling us the same thing: the AI tools look useful, but they can't work out where the patient data ends up, which jurisdiction it crosses, or who the regulator would speak to if something went wrong. Cogent Clinic is the answer that lets them stop asking.
Most current tools can't answer the obvious questions.
A clinician trying to adopt an AI note-taker typically gets stuck in the same place. Where is the data processed? Somewhere between America and the EU, behind a sub-processor chain with five names on it. Does the model provider train on it? The terms of service say “we may use customer content to improve services” — which is a no-answer. What happens if a regulator asks for the audit trail? Silence.
Meanwhile the notes are still not writing themselves. Professional indemnity insurers are starting to ask about AI use. Supervisors are asking the same. The ICO has been very clear about controller responsibilities. And the clinician has a caseload to document.
Cogent Clinic was built by people who were that clinician. Every architectural choice here came from refusing to accept those no-answers.
Three commitments. No negotiation.
Patient data stays in the browser
Before anything leaves your device, a tokeniser swaps names, NHS numbers, contact details, dates and postcodes for neutral placeholders. The mapping back is kept on your machine, encrypted with a key derived from your password. We cannot read it. A subpoena cannot compel it from us because it isn't on our infrastructure.
Everything runs in the UK
Application, database, backups, model inference, transcription, scheduled jobs — all in AWS eu-west-2 (London). No third-country transfers. No adequacy decisions to rely on. When UK regulators change the rules, we follow UK rules.
Technical security you can inspect
Two-factor authentication enforced. Append-only hash-chained audit log, verified nightly. Client-side AES-GCM + PBKDF2-210k. Minimum-privilege IAM. Per-user rate and cost limits. Every control is published on our Trust Centre — not promised in a brochure.
Type or dictate. Review. Generate. Accept.
Type or dictate
Voice dictation via AWS Transcribe (UK) or a normal keyboard. The tokeniser watches the text as you go.
Review tokens
Every identifier the tokeniser caught is highlighted. Accept, reject, reclassify, or add ones it missed. Nothing is sent until you confirm.
Generate
Structured fields plus the tokenised narrative are sent to Claude (via AWS Bedrock, UK). The draft streams back in your chosen modality style.
Accept & file
Edit, export as .docx or .txt, and file into a client folder. Drafts stored on our servers stay in their tokenised form.
