A branch of Digital Health technologies useful for AHP practices is Secure Messaging. Traditionally, allied health professionals (AHPs) communicate with GPs and specialist with letters and faxes. Both methods have drawbacks/advantages, and with the emergence of digital health technologies, may not be as reliable, convenient, or as secure as Secure Messaging services.
