Is wearable data in treatment settings HIPAA-protected, and how does consent work?

The consent flow matters as much as the storage. In NavixPulse, each wearer receives a private link on their own phone; the page explains in plain language exactly what is shared (nightly summaries — sleep, heart rate, breathing, stress; never location, messages, or anything else on the phone), who can see it (the care team at their organization), and that connecting is voluntary and reversible. Only after agreeing does the person sign in to their device brand — staff never touch anyone's credentials.

Each organization's records are isolated at the database layer, enforced by row-level security and covered by an executable test suite. Text messages never carry health information — a connect text is a link and nothing else, deliberately free of program names or treatment language out of respect for confidentiality rules that protect even the fact of enrollment.

Honest phrasing matters here too: there is no such thing as 'HIPAA-certified' software. What a serious platform offers is a HIPAA-protected posture — isolation, BAAs, consent, auditability — and the willingness to put those claims in front of counsel, which is exactly NavixPulse's stance.
