Private AI for clinics and health teams in Winnipeg

Winnipeg clinics, care homes and health administrators work inside Manitoba’s own rules. Digby answers from your documents with the passage attached, keeps stored data in Canada, and runs the models on Canadian-located hardware — so the answer is checkable and the question “where does it go” has a short reply.

What Manitoba asks of a health trustee

Manitoba’s Personal Health Information Act governs trustees of health information: what may be collected, who it may be disclosed to, and what safeguards are required. It applies to the provincial system and to private providers alike.

Because it covers the whole continuum, a tool adopted by one site with the best intentions can create a problem for another. Consistency across the province is the point.

Winnipeg’s health reality

Manitoba delivers care through a shared provincial health organisation plus regional and community operators, all handling personal health information under Manitoba’s health statute.

Rural and northern reach matters here: a tool that helps a smaller site answer a policy question without calling the city is worth more than one that only works well at a tertiary centre.

What Digby does — and what we do not claim

Digby is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool and not clinical decision support. It does not interpret tests, triage patients or recommend treatment. It works on the paperwork around care, never on the clinical judgement itself.

01
Policy grounding
ask a question about intake, consent, scheduling or billing and get the passage from your own policy manual.
02
Administrative drafting
referral letters, patient-facing explanations, staff memos, drafted in plain language and reviewed by a person.
03
Training material
turn a protocol into a short teaching note, or answer a new hire’s question from the document it came from.
04
Reporting and planning
summarise operational data a manager pastes in, without sending patient records anywhere they should not go.

Where the data lives, and where the models run

Stored data — accounts, conversations, memory and files — sits in Canada, in AWS Canada Central (Montréal). The models that write answers run on NVIDIA GPU hardware located in Canada and operated from Canada. That second part is the one most vendors gloss: storage residency is not the same claim as inference residency, and for a Winnipeg clinic the difference is exactly the one a privacy review will ask about.

If the requirement is that nothing leaves infrastructure you control, Digby can be self-hosted with Docker Compose against any OpenAI-compatible model server. That is a different trade — you run it — and it is documented rather than implied.

A sensible first month for a Winnipeg clinic

01
One non-clinical corpus
the policy manual and staff onboarding material, in a project with access limited to the people who already read them.
02
One workflow, one reviewer
pick a single recurring document type and name the person who checks every draft before it leaves.
03
Confirm the boundary in writing
state that clinical questions are out of scope, and make sure the whole team has read that line.

Frequently asked questions

What does Manitoba’s Personal Health Information Act require of a trustee using AI?

PHIA requires trustees to protect health information with reasonable safeguards and to limit collection and use to what is needed. A tool used on policies and training material still has to be assessed, and clinical records should stay in the clinical system.

Does Digby store Manitoba patient information?

It stores whatever an organisation chooses to put into a project, in Canada (AWS Canada Central, Montréal). Our position is that clinical records should not go in — the tool is for the surrounding documents.

What does Digby cost for a Winnipeg clinic?

Free to start, billed in Canadian dollars: the entry point is CAD $0 and no account is needed to begin. For larger engagements — more seats, more volume or a dedicated deployment — pricing is set with you rather than listed here, so contact us and a person replies with a written number. Heavier features such as deep research have daily limits.
