A HIPAA-Compliant Telehealth App Improving Outcomes by 4%
About the Client
The Client is a US telemedicine platform that allows physicians to connect with their patients for routine follow-up appointments over secure video conference.
An Android Version Was Needed to Expand the Mobile Offering
The Client needed an Android version of its telehealth app to expand the offering of mobile applications for patients and physician practices.
A HIPAA-Compliant Android Telehealth App With Encrypted Video Visits
INNERLUXES's medical app development team created a HIPAA-compliant Android application that helps patients book appointments and hold conference calls with their physicians through an encrypted peer-to-peer video connection.
The app seamlessly integrates with existing practice workflows (for example, scheduling) and management systems (for example, EHR/EMR, RIS, LIS). Doctors can offer patients remote care and replace unpaid phone calls with reimbursable video visits, improving outcomes by 3-4%.
Patient data is synced with the practice management system right before the conference starts, so the physician has the necessary information at their fingertips.
Patients can access the following functionality:
- User profile: changing profile picture, password, and personal data such as address and contact information.
- Video appointments: viewing the list of previous and upcoming appointments and arranging the next one. When creating a new video call with the assigned doctor, the patient can check and edit their insurance information and proceed to the conference with the physician.
- Insurance information: adding insurance provider details. Patients can also choose the self-pay option.
- Payment options: adding and changing credit card information and attaching a new card to the account.
A HIPAA-Compliant Android Telehealth Platform for Routine Care
The Client received a HIPAA-compliant Android version of the telehealth platform. Patients can use this software to book appointments and get video consultations in cases such as:
- Routine follow-ups
- General health questions
- Cold, flu, allergy, cough, and fever concerns
- Discussion of lab results
- Medication adjustment needs
- Prescription refill requests, and more
