About this app

medCrowd keeps everyone in touch while protecting confidential health and care information to the required standards.

Messaging apps are the best way to keep in touch with your health or care team, including doctors, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists and other caregivers.

But popular messaging apps don’t protect confidential information to the required standards so private information may not be safe. What’s more, the use of these non-compliant apps to share health and care information may be breaching the law.

So, medCrowd keeps everyone in touch while protecting confidential health and care information to the required standards.

CONNECT WITH YOUR TEAM
Safely and conveniently discuss confidential information with your health or care team.

Keep in touch on any computer, mobile phone or tablet device, and even through integrations with other electronic systems like care records, because information is protected from the moment you login. Use secure logins with a complex password, fingerprints or facial recognition.

PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

NHS guidance states that non-compliant messaging technologies (like WhatsApp) or social networks (like Facebook Messenger or Groups) must not be used to share confidential information.

But, medCrowd is compliant with the NHS Commercial Third Party Information Governance, HIPAA, UK Data Protection Act and the European General Data Protection Regulation with ISO 27001 certification being finalised.

So, use medCrowd, the instant messenger for health and care, to make sure all health and care information is kept safe.
