These visits are securely uploaded to the cloud on a HIPAA complaint server so patients, friends, and family can re-watch the doctor's visit and don't have to take notes when seeing Doctor Porter. These videos are instrumental to remembering what doctors tell their patients. They are also useful for family and friends who could not attend the visit with their loved ones.
