Healthcare and clinics

Reminders, bookings and consultations, handled with care for patient privacy.

Clinics and health providers use messaging for appointment reminders, booking, notices that results are ready and video consultations. Health information is among the most protected data almost everywhere, under rules such as HIPAA in the US and GDPR in Europe. Choose providers that will sign the agreements your regulators expect and that keep sensitive details out of message previews.

What matters when choosing

  • Willingness to sign the health-data agreements your laws require, such as a business associate agreement in the US.
  • Control over where data and recordings are stored.
  • Two-way reminders that reduce missed appointments and update the schedule.
  • Video consultations that patients join from a link without installing an app.
  • Integration with your practice management or patient record system.

Questions to ask providers

  1. Which health-data regulations do you support in our country, and will you sign the related agreement?
  2. How do you keep clinical details out of notifications and message previews?
  3. Which practice management or patient record systems do you integrate with?

Common mistakes

  • Sending diagnoses or results in plain messages that may be seen on a lock screen.
  • Staff using personal messaging apps to talk with patients.
  • Assuming a general messaging tool meets health-data rules without checking.
