Omega Clinical
Coming soon For Australian practitioners and their patients

Your patients, your team and your consults, in one encrypted place.

Omega Clinical gives your practice a secure app for the team, a free patient portal for the people you treat, and telehealth video. Every message, file and call is encrypted on the device that sends it.

  • Encrypted end to end
  • Free patient portal
  • Keys stay on your devices
Two apps, one system

One app for the practice. A simpler one for patients.

Practitioners and patients need different things from a messenger, so Omega Clinical comes in two parts that talk to each other.

For you and your staff

Omega Clinical practice app

The full workspace for reception, practitioners and managers.

  • Patient conversations, sorted by practitioner
  • Team chats and group threads
  • Referrals, results and documents
  • Telehealth consults started from the chat
  • Display names and titles you choose, such as Dr Ross or Reception
For your patients

Omega Clinical patient portal

A private line to the clinicians a patient sees, with nothing else in the way.

  • Free for patients
  • Connects only to their own clinicians
  • Several clinicians and practices in the one portal
  • Results, care plans and exercise sheets in one place
  • Video consult links that appear when it's time
Patient portal

Patients join by invitation from your practice.

You send a patient a code or a link. They install the portal, accept the invitation, and they can message you straight away. Nobody can find your practitioners or your staff by searching, so the only people who reach you are the people you've invited.

If a patient sees a GP, a physiotherapist and a naturopath who all use Omega Clinical, all three sit side by side in the one portal. When a patient wants to message family and friends as well, they can unlock the full Omega messenger from inside the portal.

What your patient sees

  • Your name and title, your practice and your hours
  • Messages and files from you and your reception team
  • Upcoming video consults
  • Nothing about any other patient, ever
Telehealth

Video consults that start from the conversation.

Book the consult in the chat, and the link turns up in the patient's portal shortly before it starts. The patient waits in a private waiting room until you let them in.

Encrypted end to end

One-to-one consults connect device to device. Our server sets the call up and can't see or hear it.

A waiting room that's yours

Patients wait with your practice name and a short message until you admit them.

Carers and interpreters

Add a carer, family member or interpreter to the consult with the patient's agreement.

Your practice

Your team, and the colleagues you refer to.

Omega Clinical will replace the mix of text messages, personal chat apps, fax and email that many practices make do with for patient matters.

Coming soon

Team messaging

Reception, practitioners and practice managers talk in one place, in private chats and group threads, so patient matters stay off personal phones and text messages.

Coming soon

Referrals, results and scans

Send and receive referral letters, pathology reports, imaging and care plans inside the same encryption as your messages.

Coming soon

Colleagues outside your practice

Message the specialist, pharmacist or allied health practitioner you refer to, as long as they use Omega Clinical too.

Coming soon

Secure calls

Voice and video calls between colleagues, sealed in the same way as your messages.

Privacy and the law

Built around Australian health privacy.

Health information is the most sensitive personal information there is, and Australian law treats it that way. Omega Clinical is being designed to support your obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and state health records laws.

We'll publish a plain-English privacy and security statement for practices before launch.

Patient-safe by design

  • Lock screen alerts show the sender's name and nothing else
  • Fingerprint or face unlock every time the app opens
  • Our servers hold no key that can read messages or files
  • Australian practices' account details kept in Australia
  • Remove a staff member's access the day they leave
Security

Encrypted on your device. Opened only on theirs.

The keys that open your conversations are made on your own devices and stay there. Our servers pass sealed messages along and hold no key that can read them.

Your device seals it

Each message and file gets its own key before it leaves your phone.

Omega Clinical relays it

Our servers store and deliver the sealed message without being able to open it.

Their device opens it

Only the devices it was addressed to can unwrap the key and read it.

Questions

What practitioners ask us.

Does Omega Clinical replace my practice management software?

No. Your clinical records, billing and appointment book stay where they are. Omega Clinical handles the conversations: practitioner to patient, and practitioner to practitioner.

What does it cost my patients?

Nothing. The patient portal is free for patients. If a patient wants the full Omega messenger for the rest of their life, they can upgrade inside the portal for a personal subscription.

Can I keep using the telehealth service I have now?

Yes. Plenty of practices use Healthdirect Video Call or another service today, and you can carry on with it for as long as you like. Omega Clinical's telehealth sits alongside your messages and files so the whole consult lives in one place.

Where is our data kept?

Messages and files are encrypted on the phone that sends them and our servers can't open them. Account details for Australian practices are held in Australia.

We practise outside Australia. Can we join?

We're starting with Australian practitioners. Each country will get its own Omega Clinical page that sets out the privacy and health information laws it is built to support there. Register your interest and tell us where you are.

Can patients reach me at any hour?

You set your own hours. Outside them, patients see your away message and the practice's after-hours instructions, and urgent matters are pointed to 000.
