Retinal OCT Privacy Utility

This utility supported safer research use of retinal OCT exports by identifying and removing specified patient-identifying fields before any downstream handling. It was a working implementation in a research environment, it aligned the export workflow with practical privacy needs in a regulated setting, and it reduced manual de-identification effort before research use.

What I built

  • Built a utility to identify and remove patient-identifying fields from retinal OCT exports.
  • Focused on reducing manual de-identification effort before research use.
  • Aligned the workflow with practical privacy needs in a regulated environment.
  • Supported cleaner downstream handling of imaging data.

Why it mattered

  • Reduced manual privacy-review work.
  • Lowered the risk of avoidable identifying data passing downstream.
  • Improved consistency in export handling.
  • Supported research workflow efficiency without bypassing privacy needs.
