Is a consent form captured this way defensible in a medical negligence claim?
The signed record carries verified identity, field-level completion checks and an immutable timestamp — a materially stronger evidentiary position than a paper form with an unverified or incomplete signature. It does not, and cannot, guarantee the outcome of any specific legal proceeding.
Does this replace our hospital's existing HMS or patient records system?
No. Legatio executes and vaults consent and staff documentation. It is not a hospital management or clinical records system, and should be scoped as a complementary layer rather than a replacement.
How is sensitive patient data protected beyond standard encryption?
Storage and handling are structured around the IT (Reasonable Security Practices) Rules, 2011, which specifically govern sensitive personal data including medical records — a named compliance obligation rather than a generic security claim.
