HitCheck Announces HIPAA Compliance
Concussion Assessment Mobile App Achieves Certification
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, May 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — HitCheck announced today that it has received HIPAA Compliance Certification from Vanta, the leading trust management and security compliance platform. HitCheck, is the mobile app that is utilized by clinicians, athletic trainers, and medics to track athletes’ and military service members’ unique brain performance and screen for signs of concussion. Since its inception in 2016, HitCheck has implemented the highest levels of data security including protecting personal health information.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards and requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without an individual’s authorization.
“While HitCheck is not required to be HIPAA-compliant, we want to demonstrate to our subscribers and the general public, that we go above and beyond what is required,” said HitCheck CEO/Co-Founder, Mike Piha. “HIPPA compliance is one of many tools we utilize to ensure a safe and secure platform.”
HitCheck has conducted more than #1.5 Million baselines tests on more than 400,000 athletes in 6 countries as part of concussion management protocols. Key partnerships include Stanford University, University of Portland, Baylor Scott & White Health, NFL Alumni Association, Mindful Players Project, Play USA Rugby, and American Youth Football and Cheer. The HitCheck cognitive assessment includes balance testing and symptoms monitoring, which meets all NCAA Concussion Safety Protocol Management requirements. HitCheck is also working with the US Department of Defense for research and development with the US Air Force and US Army.
