HIN Mail’s New Engine: Decentralized Architecture for Healthcare Communication
HIN has published a detailed article describing the technical architecture behind the new HIN Mail. The new system replaces centralized mail servers with decentralized, IPFS-based storage — a fundamental shift in how secure healthcare communications are delivered across Switzerland.
For HIN’s 30,000+ healthcare professionals, the transition is seamless — the tools they rely on daily work exactly as before. For external recipients, the experience is transformed: a modern web portal replaces previous HTML file downloads, with mobile-friendly authentication built in. The security model is fundamentally stronger. No single point of failure. No central target for attackers.
The technology powering this transformation is Vereign’s SEAL (Secure Edge Application Layer), which now processes over 800,000 verified messages per month across Swiss healthcare. Read the full technical deep dive on the HIN blog.
