This POC integrates with HIPAA-compliant Zoom #
The HIPAA-compliant level of Zoom is available, which is the most secure version of Zoom available. HIPAA-compliant Zoom is used by hospitals, medical facilities, and clinics all over the world for end-to-end 256-bit AES encrypted and secure video and audio calls. This offers an added layer of protection over direct-to-consumer version of Zoom available to the public.Â
We also offers a built-in WebRTC solution for video chat that does not utilize Zoom. Providers can alternatively choose to utilize Zoom or our built in telehealth software, when they go to schedule a call.

We keep full audit trails of information if ever needed.
