Bilateral Base was designed specifically for clinical work and so security has been ‘baked in’ from the start as opposed to being a bit of an afterthought as is the case with some general purpose video services.

  • Video call encryption – Our video calls use end-to-end 256 bit encryption directly between the two participants’ computers, so no one can break into or watch a conference happening. For the technically minded, the technology we use is WebRTC. This is an industry standard for telehealth.
  • Secure Session Links – The reusable invitation links that are sent to clients, are all unique and with billions of possible combinations are virtually impossible to guess.
  • Server, Database & Account Security – Our servers and databases are also encrypted. Each account is protected behind a required complex password.
  • Anonymous Client Profiles – To further ensure that everything stays between you and your client, Bilateral Base does not hold any personally identifiable information about your clients. When you add a client to our client manager tool you have the option to enter an anonymous identifier instead of their name.
Yes we are. You can download your Business Associate Agreement (BAA) by logging in and selecting ‘Settings’.

Yes absolutely! Our built-in video conferencing uses a leading industry standard video conferencing technology called WebRTC that is very secure and so is ideal for all types of therapy session even when bilateral stimulation tools are not being used.

Apart from a computer, tablet or smartphone for you and your client, no other equipment is needed. The only additional thing to consider is a pair of headphones that include a microphone. These do not need to be complicated or expensive. The headphones that come with most new phones will usually do just fine and ‘headsets’ that include headphones and microphone are fairly inexpensive.

We recommend using headphones and microphone because:

  • If your client is using headphones, it enables you to use auditory bilateral stimulus with them. Headphones ensure that the sound is delivered alternately to the client’s left and right ears.
  • Headphones avoid that ‘echoey’ effect that is sometimes heard on video conferencing calls, where you can ‘hear yourself’. This happens because a user’s microphone is picking up the sound from their computer speakers, which can make it hard for the other person on the call to hear.

If you are planning to use auditory BLS with a client then we recommend you ask them to use a pair of wired headphones. This is because some wireless headphones do not support stereo audio (which is required to deliver auditory stimulus to left and right ears in an alternating pattern).
