You may purchase a replacement phone, in which you want to activate the Patient application on your new phone. There are three ways to do this, but the first step is to is to install the app on your new phone. After it is installed, you may proceed as follows.

Are private messages stored in my device(s)
No. They are only stored in the information system used by your phycian at the clinic. They are never stored on our servers, or on your devices. Each time you view a private message, your device gets securely the content from the clinic, and presents it to you. If you navigate away, and want to see it again, your device will again fetch the message from the clinic.
