The Envoii Alert Center (EAC) application resides in the system tray and provides notification to a user based on pre-defined triggering events. When one of the triggering events has occurred, a notification will be presented to the user on the desktop via a pop-up message. When the user clicks the link presented on the pop-up balloon, the browser will be directed to the serving website, where the user may log in and view the message(s). Only general information and a link will be presented to the user. No private data will be passed.
The EAC provides a secure method for transmitting sensitive, confidential information. An ideal application for the EAC application is within the medical community to comply with HIPAA guidelines. For example, a doctor's office may use the EAC to remind patients about upcoming appointments or to send a reminder that lab results are available. The only data that would be passed with the EAC would be a generic message such as "click here to view lab results" or "click here to view a message from your physician." The patient would simply click the link, log into the serving website and view the confidential message.
