Tunnel T – Secure, private conversation for therapy

Private communication between therapists and their clients/patients.

Clients/patients: your therapist will give you a passphrase. Simply enter it on the first screen of the app. Then you will select a 6-digit PIN, which youll need to remember, and youre all set.

Therapists and patients need a safe, private space to converse online. We call it a tunnel. Use your tunnel to discuss appointments, medication, billing, or the actual topics of the therapy.

Leave messages for each other, to read and reply to when convenient, or chat in real time. Share files (such as bills or documents). All of it is encrypted to maintain security.

Tunnel T is a sophisticated yet simple platform for private communication. It’s HIPAA-compatible. Using Tunnel T takes therapist-patient communication out of your regular email to prevent reading of private messages by colleagues, friends, and family, as well as inadvertent misaddressing and ccing.

Key features:
• Totally secure, private messages between therapist and client
• Notification when new messages are received (optional)
• Easy-to-manage dashboard of all clients communications vs. a messy email inbox

Tunnel T security
Tunnel Ts fundamental goal is to protect the privacy of your communications. Thus we always choose to obtain as little information about you as possible. We choose to encrypt all of the data you store on our site such that even we cannot read it. For us, privacy is not just a policy; it is our ethos.

Tunnel T "superenciphers" all stored messages and files with AES, TwoFish, and Serpent using different 256-bit keys for each layer. (These three encryption algorithms are all widely adopted and have been studied by academics and hackers alike for over a decade.)
