Heidi Health Model Residence

Marcus made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

The request was partially successful.

From: Marcus

Dear Health New Zealand,

This OIA is partly in response to OIA HNZ00106690 which was published on the HNZ website earlier today.

Starting on Page 86 of that response is a Heidi AI Scribe AI Security Assessment Report which I have a few different questions about:

1. On Page 94, it's stated for Control ID "SUP.03 - Provenance & Version Tracking" that a request action is "Unable to confirm where this model resides, no clarity provided by the vendor" with a due date of Feb 2026. Given this due date has now passed, I'm interested in any further efforts to identify where Heidi's model resides, such as further/updated assessment reports. More specifically, I'm interested to know where Heidi is doing model inferencing which is what I suspect the control note is getting at.
2. There is also mention of HNZ's Cyber AI System Register. I'm interested to hear a bit more about that and would be interested in obtaining a copy if possible.

Yours faithfully,

Marcus
