Health Records on iPhone Now Available to HealthTap Users
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthTap, a leader in digital health, announced today that patients and healthcare providers are now able to sync health histories through the company's secure, cloud-based Unified Health Record using Apple's Health app. This makes it easier for practitioners to view and assess a patient's individualized medical history at the point of care, whether it's in the clinic or remote via telemedicine technology. The availability of complementary patient information beyond what may already be available to healthcare providers also gives additional data points which improve and personalize guidance and recommendations delivered by HealthTap's augmented intelligence-powered (AI) system, Dr. A.I.(TM).
"HealthTap presents patient data in a contextually relevant way to inform better treatment for consumers. We're fulfilling the vision of free, consolidated, consumer health data being used to deliver higher quality care with Health Records," said Sean Mehra, HealthTap's Chief Strategy Officer. "Working with HealthTap, healthcare providers can access this data at the point of care, finally unlocking the value of owning wearables and collecting this data in the first place. Finally, additional data in a patient's health profile also allows our doctor-trained A.I. system to deliver more personalized insights and more accurately guide them to the right care." Once a user's health history is integrated with the HealthTap app, it can be accessed from anywhere HealthTap can be accessed, on almost any internet connected device.
With Health Records on iPhone, patients will have medical information from participating 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, Touch ID or Face ID.
