Apple’s latest update is making it easier for people to keep track of their health information. The new update is the iOS 11.3 beta. It is a part of the Apple Health app. It allows people to transfer their medical records to the app.
There are some hospitals that have their own apps that allow patients to access their health information. Jeff Williams is the COO of app. He stated that Apple’s goal is to make the lives of everyone easier. He also stated that they have worked closely with the health community to make sure that people can easily view their medical records.
However, only a few medical institutions have agreed to work with Apple. Some of the major hospitals that have agreed to work with Apple include UC San Diego Health, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and Johns Hopkins Medicine.
It can be difficult for patients to keep their medical information organized. Many patients have to call different offices and have to log into several websites to get their health information. Many people do not even know how to log into these websites. Fortunately, the Apple Health app allows people to find all of their information in one place.
If you have your health information available, then you will know when it is time to get certain exams and vaccinations. However, it is important to note that this app is only available to iPhone users.
The data that you put in your app will be protected. However, there is nothing that is 100 percent safe. Michelle De Mooy is the director of Privacy & Data Project. She stated that regardless of how secure a device is, phishing scams are still a possible threat. You have to decide whether you are willing to take the risk with any device you use.
