The Chain of Trust: Rebuilding Healthcare Messaging

Turning Hope Into Proof at Digital Health Festival 2025

We had an incredible few days at Digital Health Festival 2025, surrounded by passionate healthcare leaders, innovators and changemakers. From the buzz around our booth to our keynote on the main stage, Stirdie’s presence reinforced the conversations we’ve been having, about what really needs to change in the way healthcare communicates.

Because at its core, healthcare isn’t just about systems and processes. It’s about people. And every message, whether it’s a care update, a referral, or a discharge summary, carries real world consequences.

Why Now, Why Stirdie

In Australia, where healthcare is delivered across diverse public, private, and remote settings, having trusted, secure messaging isn’t a luxury,  it’s essential to patient outcomes. In his keynote, Bradley Davis reminded us that while we’ve made huge strides in digital health innovation, one thing remains dangerously overlooked: how we communicate outside of clinical networks and between clinician and patient.

Today’s messaging tools are a patchwork of emails, texts, PDFs, cloud folders, and outdated legacy systems. In many cases, we’re still relying on unsecured channels, unverifiable documents, and ambiguous sender identities, especially in moments where clarity is critical.

“Hope isn’t a strategy. But secure, verifiable messaging is.”

Stirdie was built to bring certainty, transparency and trust back to every interaction. It’s secure healthcare communication with proof. Proof that a message came from the right person. Proof that it hasn’t been tampered with. Proof that it was delivered, seen, and actioned.

A Messaging Platform Design For Healthcare

Stirdie's digital messaging and file sharing platform has been built for healthcare and other regulated industries requiring the secure exchange of data. It’s the only messaging solution that provides built-in proof and verification across every message, file exchange, and user interaction.

Stirdie Features: 

Verified Users & Businesses
All users on the platform are verified, removing doubt around sender identity. Trust is further established with verified organizations, giving users confidence that they are communicating with legitimate organizations.  

Full End to End Encryption
Messages are locked down from sender to recipient, ensuring no one can access your private conversations and files.

Secure File Sharing
Share clinical documents, PDFs, images and files with full encryption and permission controls. Eliminate risk from consumer file-sharing tools and email attachments.

Verifiable Audit Trails
Full message history, delivery confirmation, and blockchain backed logs ensure every interaction can be traced and trusted. 

Seamless Integration
Stirdie will fit into existing clinical workflows, via browser, app, or secure API, reducing app fatigue and change resistance.

Australian Healthcare Compliance
Designed to support compliance with HIPAA, Australian Privacy Act, and international health data regulations. Stirdie is ISO 27001 certified and built with the security, transparency and trust that Australian healthcare demands.

Lead the Change For Healthcare

If you are a healthcare leader, CIO, or compliance officer and been asked:

• “Can we verify a patient’s identity before sharing sensitive results? ”
• “Did external specialists receive and act on the referral?”
• “Can we prove what was sent and when?”

Then Stirdie is for you. Stirdie is built for organizations who believe that trust in communication is not optional, it's foundational. And that building digital resilience means investing in tools that are secure by design.
