Telehealth: video link security and shared attachments

Published on 2026-04-164 min readFlorian

The telehealth link is a temporary key

A video consultation link is an access key to health data. It deserves the same care as a signed URL to a sensitive document.

What we see in audits

  • video links still active after the appointment ends;
  • prescriptions shared by non-expiring URL;
  • consultation room reachable without auth if you guess the ID.
  • What should be obvious

    Short link duration, link tied to an authenticated patient, revocation available. Without these three, a healthtech product has a blind spot that will surface in an HDS audit.
