What is a cross-platform healthcare communication app?
A cross-platform healthcare communication app gives clinicians and staff the same secure messaging, calls and files on mobile phones, tablets and computers, synchronized in one account. Buzz runs on iOS, Android and any modern web browser on PC, Mac or Chromebook, so the care team stays connected wherever care happens.
Why it matters
Care doesn’t happen at one desk
Field clinicians move between patient homes, facilities and the car. Office staff work from a desktop. Managers switch between both in the same hour. A tool that only works well on one of those leaves the team split in two.
Buzz keeps one conversation across all of them, so nobody has to choose between the app that works in the field and the one that works at the office.
A day across devices
One conversation, three screens
-
On the phone
In the driveway
A referral update and a question from the scheduler arrive during a home visit. The clinician answers in the patient’s group in seconds.
-
On the laptop
Back at the office
The same thread is open on the desktop, with the photos and documents from the visit, ready for follow-up work on a full keyboard.
-
On the tablet
At the next visit
A consent form is signed on the tablet and lands in the same conversation. Nothing to forward, nothing to re-enter.

| Field and office | Different tools | The same conversation |

Security
Secure by default, not by add-on
Every message, call, fax and file is encrypted in transit and at rest, inside one compliance boundary. Skyscape signs a business associate agreement before any PHI is exchanged, and holds a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation for the Buzz service.
