Case Study: Cleveland Clinic strengthens PHI security and compliance with ClearDATA

Healthy Brain Initiative relies on ClearDATA and AWS for PHI Security and Compliance

Cleveland Clinic, through its Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health’s Healthy Brain Initiative, wanted to build the “Healthy Brains” mobile app to collect patient-reported data on exercise, nutrition, sleep, social interaction, and other brain-health factors. Because the app would be used across different locations and devices and handle PHI, the clinic needed a secure, compliant cloud approach. ClearDATA helped support the effort alongside AWS.

ClearDATA mapped AWS services to Cleveland Clinic’s security, privacy, and compliance requirements, using tools like CloudTrail for monitoring and auditing, and brought its HITRUST-certified healthcare cloud expertise to accelerate approval. The result was a solution that gave Cleveland Clinic the confidence to move forward without rebuilding security and compliance capabilities in-house, helping the organization focus on patient care while supporting a lower-cost, faster path to launching the initiative.
