Healthcare Confidential Computing and the Trusted Execution Environment

Release Date: 07/14/2025

Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) routinely process Protected Health Information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and financial data. They must address threats that could compromise this data, not just at rest or in transit, but also in volatile states. 

Lately, HDOs are embracing AI to unlock new patient care and medical research possibilities. Now, protecting sensitive healthcare data has become all the more essential to building trust and ensuring compliance. Confidential computing provides a solution to address these concerns. 

This publication explores confidential computing and how it can support privacy and security in the healthcare industry. It also focuses on how the trusted execution environment (TEE) provides the environment for confidential computing. Understand why the healthcare sector should consider confidential computing in their architecture roadmaps, pilot projects, and compliance frameworks. Move toward scalable, privacy-preserving systems that strengthen security, enable innovation, and support regulatory alignment.

Key Takeaways:
  • What confidential computing is, how it works, and its key use cases
  • The different types of homomorphic encryption
  • What a trusted platform module (TPM) is and how to use it
  • The different types of hardware security modules (HSMs) and how they work
  • The main features of the TEE
  • How confidential computing supports healthcare data security needs
