Selfish post here - I work for a homecare/hospice/rehab department who has recently picked up ALS patients. I was asked to see if there was some sort of secure encrypted messenger service that would go between a patients device and our clinical secured domain. We have an EMR based communication tool, but the family members also use it to coordinated care so they see everything that is sent by the patient. The problem is, the patients caretaker is not a great person and so the patient wants a personal communication tool.
Anyone know of something like this that is aimed toward security and business, rather than social media crowd?
Or better yet, maybe a contact at an ALS foundation I could poke to see about this?

It's relatively simple to use, and it works on Android, iPhone/iPad, and Windows (not sure about MacOS on a desktop though, but definitely their smaller devices).
It's not like enterprise software or anything, but it could definitely be used by a patient and their medical staff to communicate things in a secure manner.

That looks like a good option. I'll reach out to them and see how well they've documented their security. Thanks!

Have you tried finding a way to speak to an experienced product specialist at your EMR software provider about this? It may be something that could be achieved in your existing solution with an elegant configuration change.

Thays a good idea. Our EMR is global so they may very well have a solution for this. Thanks!
