Privacy and shared devices

PHI, Microsoft 365, and shared iPads.

Echo is built for clinical imaging workflows. Patient names, IDs, dates of birth, sex, accession numbers, study descriptions, rooms, and notes are protected health information (PHI). Treat the Echo window like any other clinical system on screen.

What Echo stores locally

Depending on your plan and settings, this iPad may keep:

  • Your Joints session (so you can return without signing in every time)
  • Encrypted History of views you opened (Pro)
  • Encrypted Tab Sync cache when sync is enabled (Pro)

History and sync data are separated per Joints account. Switching users does not mix one person’s History into another’s.

Tab Sync and Microsoft 365

When Tab Sync is on, open-view information is stored in your organization’s OneDrive folder Lumirai Echo Sync. Protection relies on your clinic’s Microsoft 365 tenancy and BAA — not on a personal consumer Microsoft account.

Always use the work account your organization issued. Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported for Tab Sync.
