Features

Is it possible to leave a trace of Braver communications directly in the patient record software I use? Can I export patient communications?

Braver protects the data you exchange, but doesn't want to hold it hostage! We collaborate with various computerized file partners to integrate with them and offer you the most pleasant communication experience possible. Write to us to find out more!

In the meantime, you can easily export the content of collaborations as PDFs and attach them directly to your record-keeping software to facilitate your medico-legal follow-up.

Can we send photos, videos, documents, etc.?

The free version of Braver lets you share photos, documents and transcribed audio messages. Video sharing and editing is an advanced feature ($), as is photo editing. Contact us if this is what you need!

Can I make myself unavailable so that I don't receive notifications outside my working hours?

Yes, Braver wants to protect your work-life balance. You can configure your working hours to receive notifications only when you are working. If you're going to be away, you can use the "Unavailability Period" feature to clearly indicate your absence and return date to your colleagues.

Which networks can be used for communication?

Braver is compatible with wifi and cellular Internet networks (3G, LTE, 5G), but not with phone networks or Bluetooth.

How is Braver more secure than email or SMS?

Braver is an end-to-end encrypted messaging system, which means that every message you send can only be decrypted by you and your contacts. Emails cannot achieve the same level of security. Even if you protect your email management system to the maximum, you cannot guarantee that your contacts have done the same. Emails can also be forwarded to unauthorized parties without leaving a trace.

Braver's cybersecurity was subjected to a tight auditing process by Quebec's Ministry of Health, which allowed us to obtain the TGV certification. To learn more about this certification, you can read about it here (in french).

Can I find healthcare professionals outside of my workplace?

Braver lets you create your own network of collaborators, but you can also find any professional on the Braver network who wants to be visible. You can also search by workplace if that's useful; a workplace groups together all the members of a healthcare organization, accessible at the click of a button!

Account and privacy

Why do I need to be invited? How can I be invited?

Braver is a network of verified health professionals. As such, to be eligible for the network, you must be invited by an already validated professional on the network who can validate you in turn. If you don't know anyone in the network who can invite you, Braver can perform a manual approval and verification process.

How do I create an account?

If you are a healthcare professional, you can download the application directly from the App store or the Play store and create your profile. You will then have to be approved by the Braver team, by providing your practice number and proof of identity.

After being approved, you will be able to use the free basic version of Braver to collaborate safely! This principle of network inclusiveness is paramount in enabling healthcare professionals to take a step towards change and fulfilling the Braver mission.

What should I do if I lose my password?

When you create your account, a recovery code is created and automatically sent to you by email. The subject of this email is: Important! Recovery code for your Braver account. Try searching through your inbox (and junk mail, especially!) to get your hands on it.

This recovery code must be kept in a safe place and allows you to reset your password in case you lose or forget it.

Important: If you lose your password, you will need to use this recovery code to choose a new password. After that, a new recovery code will automatically be sent to you, and this code will replace the previous one. In other words, always make sure you're using your latest recovery code when you need to!

Lastly, if you do 10 unsuccessful login attempts in a row, your account will be blocked. Contact us in as soon as that happens so we can accompany you in solving the issue. Our team will be there to help you.
