Telehealth

Telehealth built into the chart.

Ona's built-in telehealth is encrypted, browser-based video that opens directly from the patient's chart — no separate app, account, or pasted links. Because video visits live inside the practice management platform, clinicians launch a call in one click, review images and screen-share on-screen, and record the audio to draft the visit note without leaving the record.

  • Encrypted video (LiveKit)
  • Waiting room with pre-flight checks
  • One-click join from the visit
  • Browser-only, no downloads

Ona telehealth is encrypted, browser-based video, built on LiveKit, that opens straight from the consultation record inside Ona's AI-native, all-in-one practice management platform. Patients join from an emailed link in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, on desktop or mobile — with no account and no app to install. The visit stays tied to the chart, so scheduling, the call, and the note live in one system.

It's built for telehealth-native and hybrid practices — women's health, behavioral health, nutrition, primary care, and functional or integrative medicine — that run remote and in-person visits from a single record. Solo clinicians and multi-clinician teams alike book, see, and document patients without bolting a video tool onto a separate EHR.

Join from the visit. Patient joins from a link in their email — no account, no app install.

01 · Why it matters

A visit, not a meeting.

Every tab-hop during a virtual visit is a tiny loss of attention. Patients notice.

When the video lives in a separate tool from the chart, the clinician splits their attention between the patient on screen and the right window to type into. Nothing about that scales — and the polish you lose is exactly what made telehealth feel good in the first place.

Stitching the call into the visit changes its whole shape. You can watch and work in the same window, and the note gets written as you go rather than after.

02 · Why Ona

Video that lives inside the visit.

One system

Video visits, scheduling, charting, and billing run on the same platform instead of separate tools stitched together.

One patient record

The call opens from the chart and the note lands back on it, so there is nothing to copy between apps.

Private and secure

The call is encrypted end-to-end, a BAA is signed at onboarding, every session is access-logged, and Ona never uses patient audio to train models.

No patient friction

Browser-only join, with no download and no account for a one-time visit — Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, on desktop or mobile.

Waiting room with pre-flight checks

The patient grants mic and camera access, sees a live preview, and waits for the scheduled start. A running countdown means fewer “is this working?” texts.

Pair with the AI scribe

Record the visit audio with per-visit consent and Ona transcribes it and drafts a structured note. You look at the patient instead of typing; review and sign after.

03 · A visit, end to end

From link to sign-off.

  1. Open the visit and join in one click

    The join button lives on the patient's chart — no pasted links and no third-party app.
  2. The patient joins from an emailed link

    They grant microphone and camera access in a waiting room with pre-flight checks, see a live preview, and the Join button unlocks at the scheduled start time.
  3. Screen-share, image review, and chat in-call

    All of it attached to that record — the visit, interview template, and history sit alongside the video.
  4. Record the audio, get the note drafted

    With per-visit patient consent, Ona transcribes the call and drafts a structured note for the clinician to review and sign.
  5. The connection adapts, the visit continues

    LiveKit adapts stream quality to the connection automatically and keeps the visit going as audio if the video cannot sustain.

The first time I did a video visit in Ona I almost cried. I'd been juggling three apps for two years — this was just one page, and the note was already most of the way written.

04 · In practice

Telehealth, for the way you actually work.

Therapy + psychiatry

Every session, in one place.

Video, the visit note, and the patient's history in one window. Use an interview template for structured assessments and keep the narrative in your own voice.

Functional & integrative medicine

90-minute initials without five tabs.

Screen-share a lab report, walk the patient through it, and keep the note open on the side. Any supplement recommendations flow through to Fullscript from the same visit.

Coaches & allied health

Check-ins that feel professional.

A proper video room with a waiting area — not a personal Zoom link — with the visit record attached to it.

Follow-up care

Faster than a phone tag loop.

Short virtual follow-ups with a link that's already in the patient's inbox. No new invites, no setup chatter — they click and they're in.

FAQ

Common technical questions.

What is built-in telehealth?
Built-in telehealth means the video visit runs inside your practice management platform instead of a separate app. In Ona, the encrypted call opens from the patient's chart and the visit note is drafted on that same record.
Can I get practice management software with telehealth included?
Yes. Ona is an all-in-one practice management platform — scheduling, charting, billing, and video visits in one system — so telehealth is included rather than a separate integration, and it is available on every plan.
How do video visits in the chart work?
You open a visit from the patient's chart and join in one click. The patient joins from an emailed browser link with no app or account, and you can screen-share, review images, and record the audio with consent to draft the note — all tied to that chart.
Do patients need to download an app or create an account?
No. Ona telehealth runs in any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox) on desktop or mobile, with full audio and video on a phone. Patients join a one-time visit from an emailed link with no download and no account.
Is Ona telehealth HIPAA compliant, and can we record visits?
Ona telehealth is built to meet HIPAA requirements: the call is encrypted end-to-end, a BAA is signed at onboarding, and every session is access-logged. You can record the visit audio with patient consent to power the note; full-video recording is not the default, and Ona does not use patient audio to train models.
How does the waiting room work?
The patient opens the link, grants mic/camera, and sees a live preview. A countdown runs to the scheduled start; once the time hits and their mic is working, Join unlocks. There isn't a separate “admit patient” step on the clinician side today — the rails keep them from joining early.
Do you support group visits or shared medical appointments?
Today's visit model is 1:1 (one clinician, one patient). We don't currently ship purpose-built group visits or shared medical appointments; if that's core to your practice we'd like to hear about it before you commit.
What about low-bandwidth patients?
LiveKit adapts stream quality to the network automatically. In practice, visits stay connected as audio if the video can't sustain — so the conversation keeps going and the note still lands in the chart.
