Skype uses AES 256 encryption for all transmitted data, which effectively removes the possibility of wiretapping for all but the most sophisticated and criminally-motivated individuals. Also, recall that the HIPAA privacy rule is intentionally vague and specifically allows for flexibility in the safeguarding of information. Skype is HIPAA-compliant.

Each of us has to play their role and I am delighted to see more and more consumer devices / apps on the market that enable individuals to take more control over their lifestyles. Philips launched DirectLife, another company has lauched an emergency response system and many other example exist. each makes it clear to me that by stimulating healthier living we have the key solution to relieve our healthcare system from the threats it is facing.

We appreciate getting the recognition that while not free, Vidyo is deliveing significant value. Not only for the HD quality, but multipoint (not available on Skype which is only point to point) and the resiliency to packet loss that is required to maintain high quality over the Internet. Michael, the VidyoDesktop is available today on both MacOS and Windows, and you can expect additonal OS's to be supported. Ryan,

Achieving that capability is not trivial. Complete controls governing access to patient information and online collaborations, safe/secure infrastructure, and the ability to audit who used the system, what was accessed, how the information was modified or deleted, and when all of this took place , are all components of those HIPAA requirements. Apps 3, 4 and 5 are most effective when incorporated into the communication strategies noted in 1, 2, 7 and 8. Finally, 6 is coming, but there still needs to be significant improvement in the a/v codecs across all platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Exciting things are on the horizon, and Interactive Care is working to drive real solutions for thin client / hosted telemedicine applications. The balance is making access ubiquitous, while providing a true medical application with HIPAA compliance and interoperability with other medical apps (PACS, EMR/EHR, diagnostics, etc.). Michael Z.
