The short answer is yes, NextMe can be used in a HIPAA compliant way. However, as with all healthcare and privacy law, the answer is nuanced.
Compliance: We built NextMe with privacy in mind and have followed HIPAA standards in regards to encryption and data governance. As rules and regulations evolve, we do our best to stay ahead of the game. We offer automated PII data purging and flexible options to ensure the protection of patient data. However, it is up to your organization to leverage these options in a way that meets your internal and external privacy requirements.

Certification: One common misconception is that software can be formally HIPAA certified. There is no governing body that can officially certify your company as compliant and many of these certifications are third party audits with varying degrees of legitimacy. With that in mind, NextMe is actively pursuing compliance partners that can help us audit and monitor our software on a regular basis.
