Virtual care runs on email. Most email tools aren't built for PHI.

Email is where direct-to-patient care happens: visit links, intake forms, lab results, and refill reminders. Consumer email services won't sign a BAA, so none of those messages can include PHI.

Most email tools won't sign a BAA

Many popular email APIs and marketing platforms only offer a BAA on top-tier plans, if at all.

Portal link icon

Patients ignore portals

"You have a new message" notices mean another login. Visit links get missed and refill questions go unanswered.

Message icon

Vague messages get skipped

"Your order has shipped" with no medication name or details leaves patients guessing.
