I want to know whether RingCentral has plans or is aware if a way to encrypt messages that travel to/from external mobile devices. This would be very helpful in health care and other fields where maintaining confidentiality is important.

So, could Ring Central be set up to send a link to an external app?

The integration would be different depending on the external app. Do you have one in mind or would you build one?
You can integrate sending this through RingCentral SMS by using our API or customizing our Embeddable Widget which powers our Google integration and can be configured to run as a stand-alone softphone app using Electro - https://developer.ringcentral.com/embeddable-voice.html
If you are interested in an out-of-the-box solution, you should ask on our user (non-developer) community to reach the right people - https://community.ringcentral.com .
Here are some rough steps if you want to build this using our API.

- When you send an SMS, you would need to encrypt the message and then send the link to or containing the encrypted message to the user.
- When the user clicks on the link, it needs to load an application that will perform auth and decrypt the message.
