How to Build an LGPD-Compliant Telehealth App in Brazil

Developing a telehealth app in Brazil necessitates compliance with the country's LGPD data protection law and CFM Resolution 2.314/2022, which govern health data handling and telemedicine practices, respectively. This involves securing patient consent before data processing, ensuring health data confidentiality, and implementing a robust data retention and deletion strategy. VideoSDK's Flutter and React SDKs offer tools like end-to-end encryption (E2EE), geo-fencing, and cloud recording to meet these requirements, though developers must also build additional layers for consent management and medical record handling. While VideoSDK ensures secure video infrastructure, compliance with LGPD and CFM involves implementing explicit patient consent mechanisms and maintaining secure channels equivalent to in-person consultations, as well as adhering to data retention protocols. Additionally, developers should confirm regional data processing agreements with VideoSDK to ensure patient data remains within Brazil.
