Secure Telehealth Platform for Remote Examination and Evidence Collection

The client faces challenges in providing high-quality telehealth services for sensitive medical examinations, requiring secure video and data exchange for forensic cases. Existing systems lack secure integration for live video, image capture, and case management while ensuring strict compliance with health data privacy regulations such as HIPAA. These limitations hinder accurate examination, evidence collection, and efficient case handling in remote and underserved settings.

A healthcare research organization or hospital network aiming to improve remote patient examinations, particularly for sensitive cases such as forensic and forensic-related medical assessments in underserved or rural communities.
