According to HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) all Patient data (also known as PHI - Protected Health Information) needs to be transmitted and stored securely, this includes photos and videos. This means data must be encrypted in motion and at rest, most security controls on smartphones do not meet the requirements of HIPAA. A remote wipe of the phone loses all data, including PHI, loss of PHI requires appropriate reporting to HHS.
Long story short: If you lose your phone or your phone gets hacked: you will still be responsible for a security breach. You (or your organization) can be fined up to $50K per piece of Patient data lost (ie per photo or video)! Why risk it?

You can. However, with CaptureProof, unlike your email, photos and videos arrived organized in the patient’s chart - and can be analyzed, compared, and easily shared with your colleagues.
CaptureProof saves you time -- each image received is automatically organized chronologically into separate Patient profiles, allowing for instant analysis and comparison.

Telemedicine is traditionally synchronous - not unlike a video chat with your Patient. Scheduling can be challenging, as most doctors don’t run on time.
CaptureProof has decoupled medical care from time and location, acting as the visual voicemail for medicine. Providers and their Patients do not have to be available at the same time to communicate. We are the the visual voicemail of medicine. When photos, video or notes are shared, the recipient (Provider or Patient) receives a notification. The media waits in the recipient's account - so they can view it instantaneously, in a few minutes, a few hours, or even days later - at their convenience.

CaptureProof links into all Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs).
On the web, in the Patient’s profile, click the link symbol at the top right of the page. Click the ‘copy link’ button, then paste the unique and anonymized URL into the Patient’s EHR. The next time you want to review the Patient’s media, simply click this link to login and see their media. Anyone from your Virtual CaptureProof Office in can see this media, using their username and password to login.

CaptureProof allows you to communicate with both Patients and other Health Care Providers (HCP) with photos, video, and notes. An entire team can follow an episode of care from start to finish. A HCP requests a Media Rx (mRx) from a Patient. The Patient responds with the requested photos, videos, and any notes. The HCP can then see and know what the patient is talking about. HCPs can even share Patient images with other Providers to collaborate and consult on Patient cases.
