New iPhone Health app feature gives doctors easier access to data - The Verge

Now, with the new iOS 15 update this fall, some iPhone users will be able to send data directly from their Health app to their doctors’ electronic medical records systems.

The new integration will work with six electronic medical records companies in the United States.

Doctors who use the records from those companies would be able to open any shared data within a patient’s health record.

The Health app data isn’t directly transferred into the electronic health record.

Doctors can see a window with the data, but the information isn’t permanently added to the record.

Cerner, one of the electronic health record companies participating in the initial rollout, was able to test the new Apple feature at its onsite clinic for employees.
