Now, consumers will have medical information from various institutions organized into one view covering allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures and vitals, and will receive notifications when their data is updated. Health Records data is encrypted and protected with the user’s iPhone passcode.

Apple Announces Solution Bringing Health Records To Iphone
Apple today also previewed iOS 11.3, stating that iPhone users will be able to view battery health and disable Apple's power management when the update comes out this spring.Last winter, when I started having problems with my knee, I made an appointment to go see an orthopedist at NYU Langone. I was in and out with a referral to see a physical therapist, and the hospital was left holding onto a small slice of my medical history.
But a month later, I had the option to pull those records into the Apple Health application on my iPhone, leaving me with easy access to my information and an easy way to show that information to another doctor, down the line.
NYU Langone started allowing its patients to access their medical records through the health records feature on Apple’s Health app in a wave of health care organizations integrating the Apple platform last winter. The platform launched in January 2018 with 12 health care organizations, and is now available in hundreds of hospitals. It’s the latest attempt at building a system for personal health records, and one that focuses on patient autonomy, allowing users to own and synchronize all of their medical data from different places, and keep it in one centralized location.

Under typical health record infrastructure, chunks of data are siloed off in each health care organization that you see doctors or receive treatment at. “That ends up being important, if you’re on vacation, and sustain some type of injury. You could show up at a hospital that knows nothing about you, and have trouble accessing your records, ” says Christian Dameff, an emergency physician and informatics fellow at University of California San Diego Health. “There’s not some type of easy repository of health information. Why is it so hard to get information from one health system to another?”
UC San Diego Health was one of the initial dozen groups involved, and this month, they published their first set of data on patients’ experiences with the program. Turns out, they like having access to and control over their personal medical information.
Personal health records aren’t a new idea, and Apple isn’t the first big technology company to try and create its own platform. Both Microsoft and Google tried to build web applications for personal health records in 2007 and 2008, respectively—and both systems failed. Patients had trouble connecting to the systems, Dameff says, and the user experience wasn’t intuitive.
Accessing Health Records On Your Iphone Is A Dream And A Nightmare
“It’s different now, because we have smartphones, ” Dameff says. “There are mechanisms where consumers have these powerful personal devices. We’re connected. It’s trivial to have an application on your phone to facilitate this.”
Dameff and his colleagues surveyed patients using Apple Health Records in the UC San Diego health system. 132 responded, and nearly all said that connecting to the platform was simple. Just under 80 percent said that they were satisfied with the feature, and 90 percent said that using the system “improved their understanding of their own health, facilitated conversations with their clinicians, or improved sharing of personal health information with friends and family.”
The last point is key, Dameff says. “When we take data out of hospitals, and make it easier for patients to access it, they’re more literate about their own heath.”

Personal health records help break down the artificial barrier between the aspects of your health contained within the medical system and the rest of your life, says Wanda Pratt, a professor at the Information School at the University of Washington with an adjunct appointment with the Division of Biomedical and Health Informatics at the university.
“Health is a part of our life. Health affects our life, and life affects our health—why do we draw this line, when they’re so interconnected?” she says.
Integrated systems can allow physicians to better understand the lifestyle factors that play a role in their patients’ health, like the amount of sleep their getting, or their activity levels, both of which could be tracked by the phone.
