Deepfakes Targeting Doctors, Nurses, and Healthcare Workers

Healthcare workers hold positions of high professional trust, making deepfake threats particularly damaging. A physician, nurse, or therapist whose name is linked with explicit deepfake content may face consequences such as licensing board inquiries, hospital credential reviews, and loss of patients. ScanErase helps you find where your face appears by scanning across 2.4 billion indexed images, ensuring complete confidentiality, no employer, licensing board, or patient is ever contacted.

Professional risks of deepfakes for healthcare workers

Medical licensing boards, hospital credentialing committees, and health system HR departments often conduct digital background checks. A deepfake showing up in search results for a healthcare professional's name can lead to: formal licensing board inquiries, hospital privilege suspensions pending investigation, removal from insurance provider panels, and damage to patient relationships. The repercussions can arise even before the content is verified as a deepfake.

Discovery process for medical professionals

ScanErase's process is the same for all users, biometric scan, report generation, self-acting, but the urgency is greater for healthcare workers due to the professional stakes. Finding where your face appears before the content is flagged by licensing boards or employers is the main goal. ScanErase's scan takes minutes, with results delivered immediately upon authorization.

Confidentiality protections

ScanErase does not contact licensing boards, hospital systems, or any third parties at any stage. Case information is encrypted and kept private. The process remains entirely between the user and the platforms hosting the content. No external parties are notified of the scan or any aspects of the case.
