About Hushmail
Hushmail is a hosted email service built around encryption. Beyond secure email, it offers encrypted web forms with e-signatures, a secure client messaging feature that works alongside existing email, and a library of templates for mental health and other healthcare practices.
Most of the product is aimed at therapists and healthcare practitioners who need HIPAA-compliant email in the US or PIPEDA compliance in Canada. There are also plans for legal practices, small businesses and personal use. It is used in the browser, and there is an iOS app.
