Apple Update Brings Healthcare Records to Phones

Apple has introduced a significant update to the Health app with the iOS 11.3 beta introducing a feature that gives customers access to their medical records on their iPhone. The updated Health Records section within the Health app brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Health app to make it easy for consumers to see their available medical data from multiple providers whenever they choose, Apple says.

Johns Hopkins Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Penn Medicine and other participating hospitals and clinics are among the first to make this beta feature available to their patients.
