OtisHealth® Earns Health App with UDAP Accreditation from DirectTrust®
Supporting better daily health and simpler care coordination through OtisHealth’s accredited platform.
Third successive accreditation signals continued momentum in secure digital health innovation.
CUPERTINO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- OtisHealth®, a digital health platform company, announced today it has earned full Health App with UDAP accreditation from DirectTrust®. Developed in collaboration with UDAP.org, this accreditation supports interoperability requirements within the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) Cures Act Final Rule and related CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule.
Health App with UDAP combines the extensive privacy and security requirements and in-depth validation of traditional DirectTrust accreditation programs, with UDAP technical framework certification. It is designed for a diverse cross-section of organizations and systems choosing to demonstrate full HIPAA/HITECH Privacy Security compliance and supporting all relevant UDAP workflows including those for privileged client app or provider access such as in bulk data, broadcast, or targeted cross-organizational queries.
“Health App with UDAP supports an organization’s continued focus on interoperability, privacy and security – which are foundational components for ASTP, CMS, OCR and other agencies, as well as all organizations subject to handling sensitive data while looking to meet the requirements of the Cures Act,” said Scott Stuewe, President and CEO, DirectTrust. “Health App with UDAP program from DirectTrust supports interoperability with a specific focus on technical standards enabling trust and transparency for both organizational and individual access to data. We congratulate OtisHealth on their success.”
