BodySite Just Got More Social: Messaging and Group Sharing Features on iOS

At BodySite, our mission is to modernize patient engagement by making healthcare more connected, accessible, and personal. We believe doctor–patient communication shouldn’t feel clinical or outdated. That’s why we’re reimagining the patient experience with tools that bring the ease and familiarity of social platforms into a HIPAA-compliant environment. With our latest iOS updates, we’re taking another big step forward.

Messaging, Reimagined

Traditional patient portals and emails can feel slow and impersonal. With BodySite’s new messaging features on iOS, providers and patients can now connect in ways that feel as natural as a text conversation—without ever sacrificing security.

Beyond structured programs and regular messaging, providers can now share photos, videos, PDFs, and links directly with their patients. This means care teams can respond spontaneously—snapping a quick photo of a handout, sharing an article or video in real time, or providing personalized support exactly when patients need it most. It’s HIPAA-compliant communication with the social touch patients expect today.

Groups, Upgraded

Our new iOS groups experience brings even more energy and community to patient engagement. Providers can now create interactive spaces where patients not only receive resources but also contribute and connect.

In group discussions, participants can now post photos, videos, documents, and links right on their phone—making group challenges and programs feel dynamic and fun. Imagine a green-eating challenge where patients share meal photos, or a walking challenge where participants post pictures of their sneakers or the paths they took that day.

And because community is built on encouragement, users can now “like” each other’s posts and attachments. These small moments of interaction create real support and camaraderie, motivating patients to stay engaged and stick with their goals.

Secure but Social

What makes all of this truly unique is that BodySite combines the best of both worlds: the familiarity and engagement of social platforms with the strict security healthcare requires. Every message, photo, and post is fully HIPAA-compliant, so providers can communicate freely and confidently.

Unlike traditional communication tools, BodySite isn’t just about managing records. It’s about creating connections, building community, and making healthcare feel more human.

The Future of Patient Engagement

These updates are more than new features—they’re a step toward the future of patient care. BodySite is evolving into a social EMR platform where patients feel connected, providers stay supported, and communication is never limited by outdated systems.
