Jane: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Jane is a cloud-based practice management and electronic medical records platform for health and wellness clinics. It brings scheduling, charting, billing, payments and patient communication into one system, and includes an AI scribe. The product is delivered as a hosted service that practitioners access through a web interface.

Jane Software Inc. is based in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. The website does not name the company's owners. Patient data is stored in regional data centres in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with Canada as the default where no regional centre applies. SMS messaging and the AI scribe use US-based providers, and telehealth does not guarantee that data stays in the chosen region. The company refers to the GDPR, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. For a European clinic, the Canadian and US data locations and the transfers that follow are the main points to assess.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Jane

Jane is headquartered in CA, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

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

Jane 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 Jane together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
