  That could be huge. When you have a conversation with your doctor about anything, they're dropping a ton of information on you, usually just in summary. If they could give you access to complete information in real time, it could save a lot of time, while also increasing accuracy later. Think of it as a curated WebMD or such, where you only see information your physician has marked as relevant to your particular diagnosis.

  My internist's hospital group uses Epic, and while I'm sure it cost a pretty penny to license the feature, you can download an iOS app to view your test results, request appointments, send a secure message to the doc, etc. I could really see a downmarket version of this as valuable for the type of physician who isn't associated with a huge hospital group and can't afford and doesn't need anything like what you'd get from Epic, Cerner, or the like.
