Custom-Built for the Healthcare Industry
Project Goal – Easy-to-Use, Secure Healthcare Messaging
Healthcare providers and patients need a chat system that is as simple and intuitive as everyday messaging apps, while ensuring strong security and regulatory compliance. The problem was that many assume platforms like Firebase are automatically compliant, but handling sensitive healthcare data safely requires a purpose-built, secure solution.
Overcoming the Challenge – Bridging the Firebase Gap
Our team faced the misconception that Firebase provides automatic regulatory compliance for PHI, lacking essential encryption, access control, and auditability that risked security and regulatory violations. We solved this by architecting a shared responsibility model using Google Cloud’s BAA-covered infrastructure, building a NestJS backend for strict access controls, and implementing end-to-end encryption for zero-knowledge privacy.
👏🏽 Transformative Solution – Trusted and Efficient Communication
The platform built by Bitcot strengthens trust between patients and practitioners, enables secure and seamless communication, and ensures sensitive health data is handled safely. By providing a reliable messaging system, it improves care coordination, enhances patient engagement, and supports scalable growth across the healthcare network.
