Processing happens on-device
Clinical work — the med pass, charting, alerts — is handled locally on the facility’s own PC rather than routed through a vendor cloud. The round trip your data never takes is the one that can’t be intercepted.
Security · by architecture
Your residents’ data stays under your roof.
Most clinical software ships your data to somebody else’s cloud and then sells you the locks. CareOS takes the opposite approach: keep the system on the facility’s own hardware, so there’s far less to protect in the first place.
Four architectural decisions.
Encrypted at rest, on your hardware
Resident data is encrypted on the facility-controlled PC running the current alpha. Exports that leave the building are password-encrypted too.
No vendor-held PHI database
No protected health information is sent to a CareOS cloud, so there is no CareOS-hosted resident database to breach, subpoena, or ransom.
Works without internet
The local system keeps running during an internet outage — the med pass doesn’t stop because the Wi-Fi did. Even sign-in two-factor works offline.
The comparison
Cloud EHR vs. on-device.
A traditional cloud EHR concentrates every facility’s records in one vendor database — one breach, thousands of residents. CareOS distributes the risk to zero vendor databases: each facility holds only its own residents, encrypted, on its own hardware.
CLOUD EHR
Records live on vendor servers. Security depends on the vendor’s practices, and a single breach can expose many facilities at once. No internet, no charting.
CAREOS
Records live on the facility’s own PC, encrypted. There is no vendor copy to breach. The system keeps working offline, and exports are password-encrypted when they must travel.
