Frequently Asked Questions

Is the application fully HIPAA compliant?
Yes. We build on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure (AWS/Azure), implement encryption at rest and in transit, enforce access controls and audit logging, and provide BAA documentation for all vendor relationships.
Can it integrate with our existing EHR system?
Yes. We use the HL7 FHIR standard which is supported by Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, and most modern EHR systems. Integration typically adds 3–5 days to the timeline.
How is patient data protected?
All PHI is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access is controlled via role-based permissions with audit logging on every data access. No PHI is ever stored client-side.
Does the telehealth feature work on mobile?
Yes. The video consultation system works on all modern browsers and mobile devices using WebRTC. Patients can join from any device without installing an app.
