Bimini is a personal health application made by Ponce Core Tech, LLC. A member brings together their own wearable data, lab results, uploaded reports and, where they choose, records from their hospital, and Bimini organizes them into a clear summary the member can take to their own physician. Bimini is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and it is not medical advice.
This page explains how Bimini connects to a hospital's record system, in plain language for members first and in technical terms for hospital IT and compliance staff second.
You sign in to your hospital, not to us. When you connect a hospital in Bimini, the app opens your hospital's own sign-in page. You enter your patient-portal username and password there, on the hospital's page, the same way you would in a browser. Bimini never sees your password and never stores it.
What Bimini reads. Only what you authorize on the hospital's permission screen: your lab results and your clinical notes, such as imaging reports, echocardiogram reports and discharge summaries. Bimini reads; it never writes anything into your hospital record.
Where the work happens. Each document is processed on your own phone. Direct identifiers such as names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers and record numbers are found and removed on the device before any text is sent to Bimini's servers. What our servers hold is an identifier-reduced record under an account number, encrypted, in the configuration described in our Privacy Policy.
You can disconnect at any time. Disconnecting a hospital in the app deletes the hospital's access token from your phone. You can also revoke Bimini's access from your patient portal, and you can ask us to delete your Bimini account at any time.
Honest limitation. Not every hospital makes clinical notes available through the patient-access interface, and some make only the note's title and date available. Where that is the case, Bimini will tell you which notes it could not read rather than reporting success.
Bimini is a patient-facing application that connects to a certified electronic health record's patient-access API using SMART on FHIR, at the patient's own request and under the patient's own login.
