Mobile photography in clinical settings is growing rapidly - but so are the risks. Across the NHS, thousands of patient images are captured daily, often without proper consent or in breach of Trust policies. This widespread misuse of mobile devices can expose your organisation to serious IG and data protection violations, potentially resulting in significant financial penalties.
To address this, Waba has developed a secure mobile app that ensures clinical photography is compliant, controlled, and safe. Users can scan a patient's wristband or enter their details, capture consent via a built-in signature pad, and take the photo all within the app. Once uploaded, the image, consent, and patient data are instantly transferred to Waba MIM (Medical Image Manager) via Wi-Fi or mobile signal, removing the image from the device and eliminating the risk of data leakage.
Whether installed on Trust-owned or personal devices (depending on policy), Waba's mobile app transforms clinical photography into a secure, auditable process. It protects patient data, supports IG compliance, and ensures images are stored safely within your Trust's infrastructure - not on personal cloud backups.
