Patient information through a secure, ephemeral channel

Patients submit insurance cards, medical records, consent forms, and photos of conditions through encrypted, self-destructing links. No patient data in email.

The problem

The way most organizations handle this today is a liability.

📧

PHI in email

Patients email photos of insurance cards and medical documents. That protected health information now lives on email servers indefinitely.

📱

Texted photos

Patients text photos of skin conditions or injuries to their provider. Those images live on both phones and in carrier logs.

Regulatory exposure

Every unsecured copy of patient data is a potential regulatory violation. Fines can reach tens of thousands of dollars per incident.

How it works

A single secure channel from request to destruction.

1
Provider

Generates a Secretary Link for the patient

2
Patient

Clicks the link, uploads insurance card photos, consent forms, medical records

3
Provider

Views the submission, downloads to the EHR, submission is destroyed

4
System

No PHI lingering in email, text messages, or shared drives
