The Strictest Consumer Health Data Law in the Country. We Built For It.
Washington's My Health My Data Act covers health information derived from non-health data via AI — speech-biomarker inference falls squarely within scope. It also carries a private right of action. GIA® by Scienza Health was designed to comply from day one while screening for 46 conditions in under 5 minutes with zero clinical staff.

My Health My Data Act
Broader than HIPAA. Covers AI-derived health inference. Consent, access, deletion, and portability rights enforced at the platform level. Private right of action handled. Security details.
HB 2155 — AI Is Not A Nurse
GIA® is a clinical decision-support tool operated under clinician supervision. Every screening output carries explicit AI-generation labeling before review and submission to the EHR.
HB 2225 — AI Chatbot Disclosure
Residents are explicitly informed they are interacting with an AI. CMS-aligned safety escalation protocols run on every session for any detected suicidal ideation or acute behavioral risk.
#2 in the country for long-term services and supports. And the staff are leaving.
Washington ranks #2 nationally on the AARP LTSS Scorecard and runs the country's only mandatory public long-term care insurance program (WA Cares Fund, benefits beginning July 2026). But annual SNF staff turnover is 54.9%, direct-care wages lag competing industries by $2.48/hour, and the 65+ population will pass 1.45 million. 126,700 Washingtonians already live with Alzheimer's; $747 million in state Medicaid Alzheimer's costs this year alone. Traditional assessments like the MMSE, MoCA, and PHQ-9 require trained staff and 15–30 minutes per resident. The math does not work at scale.
GIA® by Scienza Health screens for 46 cognitive, behavioral, and neurological conditions in under 5 minutes with zero clinical staff. Structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video are prepared for clinician review and submission to the EHR. 14 governance domains. FDA-registered.
Washington questions.
How does GIA comply with Washington's My Health My Data Act?
The Washington My Health My Data Act is the most aggressive consumer health data law in the country — broader than HIPAA, with a private right of action. It explicitly covers health information derived from non-health data via AI, which includes speech-biomarker inference. GIA® by Scienza Health complies by default: no PII is used in model training, all data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, consumer consent is collected before any processing that falls outside a HIPAA-covered entity relationship, and residents retain full access, deletion, and portability rights. MHMDA, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II certifications apply across all Washington deployments.
How does GIA comply with Washington HB 2155 and HB 2225?
HB 2155 (signed March 9, 2026) updates the Washington Nurse Practice Act so that only licensed human professionals may use nursing titles or represent themselves as providing nursing services. HB 2225 (signed March 24, 2026) requires AI chatbots to disclose they are artificial and to implement suicide and self-harm protocols. GIA® is positioned as a clinical decision-support tool operated under clinician supervision — never as a nurse analog — and every interaction with residents carries explicit AI disclosure and includes CMS-aligned safety escalation protocols for any detected suicidal ideation or acute behavioral risk.
Which Washington skilled nursing facilities can deploy GIA?
Any of Washington's 194 Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities can deploy GIA® by Scienza Health. Deployment takes 2–6 weeks from signed agreement — GIA® arrives pre-installed on Samsung Knox-certified Galaxy devices and integrates with PointClickCare, MatrixCare, Epic, and Cerner through HL7 FHIR and direct API connections. No IT department involvement is required. FDA-registered, HIPAA compliant, MHMDA, HB 2155, and HB 2225 compliant from day one.
How does AI screening help Washington SNFs meet F-Tag 605 and CMS survey requirements?
F-Tag 605 (which consolidated F-Tag 758 effective 2025-04-28) evaluates whether psychotropic medications are administered for documented clinical need or for staff convenience. Washington has had 49 SNFs cited for serious deficiencies and $10.3 million in CMS penalties across the state. With an annual SNF staff turnover rate of 54.9% and direct-care wages lagging competing industries by $2.48/hour, Washington facilities face acute staffing pressure. GIA® screens for 46 cognitive, behavioral, and neurological conditions in under 5 minutes with zero clinical staff, generating structured medical notes, CPT codes, and session video prepared for clinician review and EHR submission — every session produces a tamper-proof audit trail surveyors can inspect directly.
GIA® by Scienza Health also serves skilled nursing facilities in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
