medCrowd: instant messaging
medCrowd is an Instant messaging app that allows users to keep in touch with their health or care team while protecting confidential information to the required standards. Unlike popular messaging apps, medCrowd ensures that private information remains safe and secure. The use of non-compliant apps to share health and care information may breach the law, which is why medCrowd is designed to comply with various regulations, including the NHS Commercial Third Party Information Governance, HIPAA, UK Data Protection Act, and the European General Data Protection Regulation. The app features secure logins, encryption, and other measures to maintain confidentiality. Users can access medCrowd on any device and can integrate conversations with care records and other electronic systems. The app also offers advanced features such as connecting with care rotas and paying for specialist advice through paid conversations. Notably, medCrowd has been mentioned by various news outlets and welcomes feedback from its users.
