I really want to be optimistic about this but as a us consumer of us healthcare its almost impossible to get even my vision prescription.
I'm betting whatever I get from the hospital is in an ocean of binary formats too arcane to digest, from a graveyard of bankrupt health data applications and in a shorthand I'll never comprehend because the legend to it is in some healthcare billing system only god and bill collectors can see.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoApple Health successfully scrapes my medical records from multiple health systems (as well as Labcorp) using OAuth authenticated public API endpoints provided by their Epic EHR instances. I'm somewhat optimistic because of this. The technology implementation was not the problem, the policy stick was lacking. Thwack. Tangentially, if you have an iPhone, I highly recommend connecting your health systems so that the records are retrieved and stored in your iCloud account, from a data sovereignty perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Healthcare_Interoperability_Resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Healthcare_Interoperabili... https://fhir.epic.com/Documentation?docId=fhir https://fhir.epic.com/Documentation?docId=fhir https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208647 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208647
- larrybud 4y agoSlightly off topic, but why is there no ability (as far as I can tell) to lock your Apple health records with a password/pin/faceid? Seems crazy that every other app containing pii (bank, airline, etc) is lockable but my health records are wide open to anyone who picks up my unlocked phone.
