MedTunnel is a HIPAA-compliant communication solution that enables physicians and patients to exchange private health information (PHI) securely. Available on iPhone, MedTunnel offers a convenient platform to send and receive SMS and email-style messages with file attachments, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps.

The unique security features of MedTunnel ensure the confidentiality of messages. With two separate keys used for encryption, one known only by MedTunnel and the other by an independent third party, neither MedTunnel nor the third party can access the content of the messages. This makes MedTunnel a secure conduit for sending PHI over the Internet, without requiring a HIPAA business associate agreement.

MedTunnel offers several key features that enhance communication efficiency in the healthcare industry. It provides a secure alternative to email and SMS, eliminating the risks associated with these traditional modes of communication. Additionally, MedTunnel allows users to scan documents using their device's camera and send them as PDF files. The user-friendly interface makes it as simple as sending a text or email.

Furthermore, MedTunnel allows seamless communication between providers, providers and patients, and even between patients. It enables access to medical documents from anywhere in the world, eliminating the need for patients to physically visit their doctor's office. The app also allows secure messaging to non-MedTunnel users via email using a pre-determined password. Push notifications ensure users never miss a new message.
