Business Overview
The client, one of the leading software providers for hospitals and
health systems, contacted NIX to improve an existing mobile
application and web platform. Both are intended for hospitals to
improve the quality of care and to remain engaged with patients.
Using a web platform, hospitals can distribute medicine news,
promote their services, care program information, and get
patient statistics via a mobile app. The mobile application allows
users to access all the information that hospitals are willing to
share — care providers, locations, maps, contact info, etc.
Users can keep information about their health in one place,
including medications plan and integrated data from users’
activity devices and trackers. It helps to measure patient health
remotely. Thus, it improves the hospitals’ approach to care.
The main features on HIPAA Compliance:
Securing account data used in external services
(e.g., Mixpanel, SurveyMonkey)
Securing application data on user devices
Optimizing app performance to work with
encrypted data
Securing keys for decryption
Enhancing web and mobile app authentication
to meet HIPAA requirements
Patient data encryption on client servers
Outcome
High-functioning HIPAA-compliant web and mobile app
With the help of the NIX team, the app passed the HIPAA audit with excellent
feedback. All additional functionalities were built in consideration of HIPAA
recommendations. We implemented the client’s requirements, and within half
a year after the HIPAA audit, the client received 2 more customers for the
product and a significant extension of existing contracts.
