Is that HIPAA compliant? What happens when Google/Apple/whoever goes down (does happen!), do patients die?
- nickphx 4y agoYou can encrypt the contents or use the notification as a signal to trigger the service worker to retrieve notification data separately.
- claytongulick 4y agoGood questions! Yes, the alert is a link to an authenticated PWA, no PHI is sent in a message. As far as push server failure, we also have SMS notifications as fallback.
