HIPAA-Compliant Video Conferencing

In response to the increased reliance on video conferencing due to the pandemic, ensuring data security has become a top concern, particularly in healthcare where sensitive patient information is handled. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides guidelines for maintaining privacy and security of health information. Twilio's Programmable Video is now HIPAA-eligible, allowing healthcare providers to build video conferencing apps while ensuring data privacy and security. To create a HIPAA-compliant video chat with Twilio APIs, developers need to follow certain requirements such as encrypted communication, signed webhook requests, HTTP authentication, static proxy, and public key client validation.
