TURN PATIENT PRIVACY INTO A SECURITY ADVANTAGE

Healthcare identity systems must meet the highest bar for trust. Patients and providers expect seamless access, which means mobile and mobile apps. But regulators demand strict controls.

Most healthcare providers now offer mobile apps and often use the mobile number as a user identifier or secondary authentication factor. But trying to use legacy authentication to secure mobile user identities can lead to serious issues, including unauthorized account access from recycled mobile numbers, SIM Swap fraud, or phishing, and cause data breaches, compliance violations, and harm to patients.

IDlayr for Healthcare solves these problems by providing real-time mobile identity verification that supports secure, low friction access to mobile apps and patient portals – all while meeting HIPAA, GDPR, and other global compliance requirements.

Using cryptographically secure, SIM-based technology, IDlayr verifies users directly with their mobile network operator, providing a high degree of trust and a fully compliant experience that protects both patients and systems.
