How DrHouse Protects Your Account
Account Verification and Access Control
When creating an account, you provide personal information that helps verify your identity. This ensures that only you (or authorized users, such as family members you add) can access your account and medical records.
Encrypted and Secure Systems
DrHouse uses encryption and secure infrastructure to protect login credentials and account data. This helps prevent unauthorized access during data transmission and storage.
Restricted Access to Medical Information
Your medical records, visit history, prescriptions, and uploaded documents are stored securely inside the app. Only authorized individuals—such as your physician or you—can access this information.
Secure App Environment
All services are delivered through the DrHouse mobile app, which provides a controlled environment for account access, communication, and care. This reduces exposure to external security risks compared to open platforms.
