Policy Statement: Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the EdEHR Platform

EdEHR Technologies Inc. integrates artificial intelligence (AI) tools in limited, transparent, and ethically responsible ways to enhance the educational value of the platform.
Our use of AI follows recognized privacy and data protection principles and reflects EdEHR’s commitment to educational integrity.

Purpose

EdEHR’s AI features support teaching and learning outcomes, such as generating simulated clinical data including lab results, or providing educational feedback.
AI features are not used for decision-making in real patient care.

Data Handling

By design, EdEHR only collects the user’s given and family names. This is the only Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that EdEHR collects.
EdEHR does not share any PII with third parties nor with AI systems.

When external AI processing is used, for example via OpenAI, only simulated and non-personal data is transmitted to AI systems, which may be located outside of Canada, under contractual and privacy safeguards.

Transparency and Control

All AI-assisted outputs will be clearly identified as such.

Educators retain full control to review, edit, or disable AI-generated content before it is used in teaching or learning activities.

Ethical and Educational Integrity

AI tools are designed to complement human teaching, grading, and evaluation rather than replace them.

EdEHR will take proactive steps to identify and reduce bias in AI-generated outputs, including designing prompts that reflect diverse populations, roles, and clinical contexts relevant to healthcare education.

EdEHR does not develop large language models (LLMs) and does not use EdEHR data for AI model training. EdEHR data is not incorporated into the training of AI models.

Student Disclosure

When AI-assisted content is presented to students, EdEHR may display a disclosure indicating that artificial intelligence was used for educational purposes.

AI-assisted content within EdEHR is provided solely in the context of simulated learning activities and is not intended for real patient care or clinical decision-making.

Implementation and Review

AI capabilities are introduced or expanded only if they fully comply with this policy.

This policy will be reviewed at least annually and more frequently as needed to reflect changes in technology, regulation, and institutional expectations.
