According to Bloomberg, Apple’s HealthKit software may interpret that information, turning it into advice for users, doctors and others. “Scores” of health-care experts hired by Apple in recent years are building improved electronic health record software that can better analyze and understand the implications of patient data, the article adds, quoting unnamed “people familiar with the team’s plans.” The ultimate goal is to turn HealthKit into a tool that improves diagnoses.” “The system could chip away at two problems that plague the industry and have stumped other specialist firms in the field: interoperability - allowing data to be transferred from hospital to hospital across different databases; and analysis - making it quick and easy for physicians to extrapolate salient information from mountains of data.”
Apple’s Health app on iOS devices gathers the information you choose from your various health apps and fitness devices, and provides you with a current overview in one place. It offers developers the ability for health and fitness apps to communicate with each other. With your permission, each app can use specific information from other apps to provide a more comprehensive way to manage your health and fitness.
