Your patient’s data is private and accessible to only authorized users. Whether consulting with another healthcare provider or the patient you will never need to worry about security. And the best part is that the seamless collaboration between healthcare participants improves patient care as well as patient satisfaction.

Very useful telehealth app.. This app is very intutive and easy to use. I can communicate with my colleagues securely and also exchange important documents without worrying about the HIPAA violations. Audio and Video calling quality is pretty good. I have been using this app since long without any issues. Highly recommended!

Great app for all, doctors & nurses. Everything you can possibly want in one app. From chatting, to group chatting, sharing reports, videos, audios, to recording your meetings, or your own notes with ability to share or save or both. Also can save passwords, imp information like credit cards, emails, etc without fear of being hacked or being read by anyone as you hold the unique key to encryption. Has a calendar for scheduling or creating group events. Use it among family, friends or business.

Really easy to use and I feel better exchanging patient information, knowing this is HIPAA-secure. Was able to download and start using in less than 2 minutes. And was able to invite my other staff members and we were all connected and exchanging secure messages, making calls, sending dictations and collaborating fully in minutes. Great app!
