Frequently asked questions

Which N1 company do we contract with?

N1 Research, LLC, a Delaware company, signs all customer agreements and holds the cloud accounts. The platform is built and operated by a group company in Malaysia under a Subcontractor BAA.

Who at N1 can see patient data?

Only specific N1 staff can access production systems, and they use them for support, incident response and maintenance. They view patient data only inside N1 systems.

What happens when a patient deletes their account?

Sign-in and access stop at once. N1 then deletes the patient's files in every region, their database records and their sign-in identity. Patients can also delete individual files at any time.

How does N1 use AI with patient data?

AI models read patient documents to produce reports and answer questions in chat. Requests that carry PHI go only to OpenAI or to models hosted on Google Cloud Vertex AI, both covered by a BAA. Prompt and response content is not written to N1's logs. PHI is never sold or used for marketing, and is not used to train AI models.
