Digital health compliance, turned into concrete controls

Mexico's General Health Law now regulates digital health. Add NOM-024, the personal data protection law and international references such as HIPAA, and the question is no longer whether to comply, but how to prove it. iHumans turns each requirement into technology, processes and evidence.
