Startup Idea: Encrypted Messaging App for Healthcare Researchers

Startup idea to develop an encrypted messaging app specifically crafted for healthcare researchers which would permit them to securely share patient information while complying with IRB (Institutional Review Board) regulations and standards.

I work at a research lab that often works with private patient information. It's incredibly difficult to communicate with my teammates online, because we're not allowed to share any patient info over text or phone.

It would be great to have a chat app that uses an encrypted service, but still functions like a normal messaging app. Something that could get approved by the IRB.

Encrypted chat isn't difficult to do, but to have something dedicated for research purposes would be really nice to have.
