Keep Track of Your Health — on Your iPhone
Every day, 10,000 American baby boomers turn 65. This “younger generation” of seniors is more tech-savvy than previous generations — and more accustomed to having the world adapt itself to their needs.
Apple certainly knows that, and has made significant updates to their health app. The updated health app brings data from a variety of sources together, so that patients do not need to log into the website of each of their healthcare providers in order to view their medical records.
The app makes available, at a glance, information including allergies, medical conditions, immunization records, lab results, medications, procedures, and vital signs. The information is safe: it is encrypted, and compliant with FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a standard for handling electronic medical records.
An increasing number of medical institutions, including Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, and Rush University Medical Center, in Chicago, Illinois, are connecting to the app.
Will the new health app do for medicine what iTunes did for music? That remains to be seen, but almost certainly, baby boomers will seek high-tech ways to improve the quality of their senior years.
