Doximity: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Doximity is a professional network for healthcare workers, aimed at physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and medical students in the United States. The platform offers Ask, an AI tool for clinical questions that links to medical literature and guidelines, Scribe for AI-assisted documentation, Dialer for calling patients without revealing a personal phone number, and secure messaging and faxing for sharing patient information with colleagues. It is delivered as a web service and app.

Doximity, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco in the United States. According to its privacy policy, the services are not intended for users outside the United States, non-US clinicians are not eligible for membership, and users consent to their information being stored and processed in the United States. The policy does not mention the GDPR; for HIPAA-covered data it refers to a Business Associate Agreement. For European healthcare organisations, Doximity is therefore mainly relevant as a reference for a US platform rather than a realistic option for data processing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Doximity

Doximity is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Doximity hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Doximity is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Doximity together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
