Overview

PostureScreen now includes a fully revamped Google Drive integration, allowing you to automatically store patient reports, notes, and documentation directly in your Google Drive.

This feature eliminates manual workflows (such as emailing files to yourself) and provides a secure, efficient, and HIPAA-compliant method for managing patient data when configured properly.

Key Benefits

  • ✅ Automatic file storage in Google Drive
  • ✅ Eliminates manual email/file transfer workflows
  • ✅ Organized patient-specific folders
  • ✅ Stores both PDFs and editable text files
  • ✅ Compatible with AI-generated notes (PostureScribed.ai)
  • ✅ Supports HIPAA compliance (with Google Workspace + BAA)

HIPAA Compliance Note

If you are using a Google Workspace (business) account, you can:

  1. Execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google
  2. Ensure all stored data is handled in a HIPAA-compliant environment

Initial Setup

Step 1: Connect Google Drive

  1. Open PostureScreen
  2. Navigate to settings or integration area
  3. Sign in to your Google account
  4. Grant permissions to connect Google Drive

Step 2: Automatic Folder Creation

Once connected:

  • PostureScreen will automatically create a dedicated folder in your Google Drive:PostureScreen/
  • Inside, patient-specific folders will be generated automatically when data is saved

How File Organization Works

When you send or save data:

  • A patient folder is created using:
    • Patient name
    • Unique identifier (if applicable)

Inside each patient folder, you may see:

  • 📄 PDF reports
  • 📝 Text files (editable notes)
  • 📊 Assessment data
  • 🧾 Consent forms (if applicable)

Using Google Drive with AI Notes (PostureScribed.ai)

If you are using PostureScribed.ai:

  • Signed notes are automatically saved to Google Drive
  • Files include:
    • PDF version of the note
    • Text version for copy/paste into EHRs

Note: Google Drive integration works independently—you do not need PostureScribed.ai to use it.
