What is ScrubDummy?
ScrubDummy is a Windows desktop application for creating de-identified working copies of Microsoft Word clinical documents through local processing.
Does ScrubDummy upload my documents to the website?
No. Document processing takes place locally in the desktop application. This website handles download registration and software delivery only.
Why is email verification required?
Verification helps confirm ownership of the requested address, reduce abuse, and maintain an auditable record of authorized download activity.
What file do I download?
You download ScrubDummy.exe. On first use, double-click the executable to install and launch ScrubDummy. It is not a separate installer package.
Do I still need to review output?
Yes. ScrubDummy supports a de-identification workflow, but authorized reviewers must validate results before use or disclosure.
