What does Sycana DeID do with my patient data?
Sycana DeID is a planned offline PHI redaction tool for teams that need to remove PHI from PDFs and text files before sharing them for analysis. It is designed to run entirely offline on your machine, so document content never leaves your device. It is not a redaction service for files already uploaded elsewhere, and it does not replace a formal HIPAA de-identification review. If your documents must stay inside a managed clinical system, use that system's built-in export controls. As of October 2026, Sycana DeID is not yet available for download.
