FULL BOILERPLATE
Protecht Health is a HIPAA-compliant iPhone app for sharing sexual health results that can't be edited. The app brings in STI and HIV test results and vaccination records from a person's healthcare provider through Apple Health, keeps them encrypted on the phone, and lets that person show a partner, for 60 seconds, in person or with a link. Protecht doesn't store your results, and sharing HIV status in the app is always free. Founded in 2025 by David Leder, Protecht Health is independent, self-funded, and based in San Jose, California.
