    BRIGHTSQUID WAS FOUNDED TO ACCELERATE HEALTHCARE AND KEEP CLINICS SAFE

    In 2007, our founder, a pediatric radiologist, needed to share sensitive patient diagnostic imagery with experts around the world. The only way to do that in compliance with patient confidentiality regulations was to burn the image data  to a DVD and put it in the mail. His patients needed answers faster than that. 

    So Secure-Mail, the privacy compliant email service that supports large file transfer, was born. 

    Co-Founder and CEO Rohit Joshi was brought onboard for his expertise in regulatory compliance and the law. Under his leadership Secure-Mail launched in 2009 and quickly grew to support over 20,000 healthcare practices across North America and beyond. 

    Secure-Mail eliminates the need for fax machines and mail as well as much of the phone communications in clinics and protects your clinic from cyber attacks like ransomware at the same time. Practice staff are more efficient and clinicians can better engage patients for greater effectiveness and increased access. The cost of providing care goes down, while patient retention and health outcome measures go up.

    Secure-Mail stands out from other compliant information sharing services because as a subscriber you can invite anyone to exchange patient data with you, copy multiple recipients on a message or thread, and include any clinician, clinic, patient, or caregiver.
