# Healthcare Credentials ## Secure sharing of health credentials and data privacy compliance. By using verifiable credentials, Indicio is able to issue credentials to medical works and patient mobile devices that allow them to cryptographically prove their identity for access to healthcare systems, as well as securely store and share their medical history. ### Healthcare provider benefits * Increase security with phishing-proof verifiable credentials: unlike passwords or physical keys, these credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied. * Fight fraud and reduce databreachs by removing reliance on centralized databases for sensitive information. * Easily manage access, assign roles, and simplify data sharing across your organization. * Provide a better experience for your patients with faster administrative tasks like document collection and their health records stored securely on their mobile device. * Protect your systems and staff from deepfakes and fraud with mutual authentication, establishing two way verification process online before sharing sensitive information. ### Patient benefits * Access healthcare benefits faster with less time spent on identity and document verification and more time spent addressing your needs. * Easily share your medical records with new doctors, medical insurances, or new providers with one tap. * Reduce identity theft and impersonation attempts with a secure digital identification that cannot be copied by bad actors. * Store all of your healthcare records in one place, and eliminate the hassle of tracking down physical documents and paperwork or reaching out to your care provider.
