Privacy Notice - Minuteful for Wound
LAST UPDATED: August 11, 2024
Healthy.io (US), Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Healthy.io”) is a medical technology company that leverages smartphones and cloud services to help healthcare professionals improve patient care.
This Privacy Policy describes how Healthy.io collects, uses, or discloses personal information we receive through our mobile apps, website portal, and any related online services for the wound assessment and monitoring tool and services that we provide (as used herein, the “Services”).
More information on Healthy.io’s Minuteful™ for Wound services can be found on our website: healthy.io/services/wound.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to other Healthy.io websites or services.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use our Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound and abide by our posted Terms of Use (“Terms”) and this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference to the Terms. If you do not agree to both our Terms and Privacy Policy, or if you violate them in any way, your right to access or use the Services is terminated.
The decision to use the Services with any patient is entirely the healthcare Provider’s clinical decision. Used in this manner, it also constitutes part of the Clinician’s treatment of, and plan of care for, a patient. Therefore, by their use, Clinicians acknowledge and agree that a patient’s Consent to Treatment and receipt of a Notice of Privacy Practices, by their definition, encompass and include the Services provided by Healthy.io. It follows that any communications that may take place between a patient and the staff at Healthy.io, whether via telephone calls, SMS texting, or email, will take place solely as a result of Healthy.io providing its Services to the patient on behalf of the Clinician.
Clinician(s) shall bear the responsibility of informing patients who they determine will be receiving these Services that a necessary element of the Services will include: i) sharing of a patient’s PHI (solely for purposes of gathering and sending a wound scan to the Healthcare Provider for analysis) and ii) may include some communication with the staff at Healthy.io (solely for the purpose of confirming connectivity to a patient’s cell and to offer assistance in gathering wound scans to be used as part of the Service). After being informed of these two processes, the patient’s decision to proceed with use of the Services offered by their Healthcare Provider constitutes their acknowledgement and consent to the use of their contact information by Healthy.io.
NOTE TO MINUTEFUL™ FOR WOUND AT HOME MOBILE APPLICATION USERS: Your Healthcare Provider or Clinician will offer you the use of our Services as part of your on-going care or treatment. As part of our Services, your Healthcare Provider or Clinician will need to share some of your contact information so that we may connect to your cell phone. You will use your cell phone to gather a wound scan that your Healthcare Provider will interpret and use to gauge your on-going care. We will also use your contact information to offer you assistance in going through the wound scan gathering and sharing process. This is the only way in which we will use your contact information. In accepting the offer from your Healthcare Provider to use our Services, you are consenting to the sharing of your contact information with us, and to our using it to assist you in the process of taking, collecting, and sharing a wound scan with your Healthcare Provider. Because we are providing your Clinician with an additional method of providing care for you, our Services are part of your overall Consent to Treatment by your Healthcare Provider.
