    Subprocessors

    The third-party service providers QR Rx uses to deliver the platform, where they sit in the system, and how patient data is protected at each layer.

    Last updated · May 5, 2026

    A subprocessor is a third-party company that QR Rx engages to help operate the platform. This page lists every subprocessor that may, in the course of its role, come into contact with information governed by our Business Associate Agreement or our Privacy Policy. If you are a healthcare provider doing procurement, this is the canonical list to share with your privacy and compliance team.

    §1

    Non-PHI subprocessors

    The following subprocessors support specific platform features but are never sent Protected Health Information. We list them here in the interest of full transparency.

    Purpose
    Large language model API used as the last-resort tier for the Cura AI care plan assistant, after the provider FAQ library and the verified cross-clinic Knowledge Base. See the BAA Section 22 for the full lookup chain.

    United States
    Data accessed
