Ionic Healthcare Demo

The Demo App is a simple web application that illustrates how distinct roles within a customer's application can be defined and used to restrict ePHI access in a HIPAA-compliant manner. The Demo App is based on use case involving a hypothetical business scenario involving a patient, physician and insurance provider. Read more in our quickstart guide.
