HIPAA compliance is not simple, and it’s more than just a technology problem. It will require coordinated work between your business, legal, healthcare and technology teams, as well as the support of vendors and contractors that you work with. Thankfully, WebRTC based video solutions allow you to build high quality video into your healthcare application while meeting HIPAA guidelines.

LiveSwitch is a powerful media server option for building live video applications based on the WebRTC standard. Our team wanted to see how easy it would be to replace the commercial media server we currently use in our SimplyDoc Telehealth Starter Kit with the LiveSwitch Cloud offering. Let’s see how it went!

DevOps is a set of skills that our WebRTC development clients are needing more and more, even if they don’t ask for it by name.

They discussed the basics of scalability and media servers, optimizing for client vs. server efficiency, RTP packets and streams, bitrate management, the benefits of using a CPaaS to scale, and more.
