Segmed

What is Segmed?

Segmed offers a web-based demonstration tool called the De-Id Playground. It showcases Segmed’s de-identification service, which uses language models to remove personally identifiable information from sample data. You can input your own sample data to see how well the de-identification performs, and a “clean the data” feature lets you sanitize it further.

The tool is strictly for demonstration — it should not be used to remove PHI in a production environment. Segmed states that no data is saved or stored after your testing session. The De-Id Playground runs in the browser with JavaScript enabled and requires no installation. Segmed built the site using Create-react-app.
