Create New Chat and Group Chat
This guide provides instructions on how to create a new chat and start a group chat within the DigiMEDSPA Portal. In our portal, chats can occur between providers, employees, and users in any combination, such as provider-provider, provider-patient, employee-employee, employee-provider, user-employee, and user-provider. However, patient-to-patient chats are not allowed.
