Apple HealthKit no light to say no practice, it is doing what you build it?

Talk today about Duke University Medical Center (Duke Dentistry) and Oxner Health care system (Ochsner Tiyatien System) and Apple HealthKit cooperation. This time, they will be electronic medical records system and HealthKit through to help users more detailed and convenient recording of various signs of data, and for the subsequent health care link lay the foundation.

Oxner is a New Orleans health-care non-profit organization composed of six hospitals. Doctors there have been recording patients ' physical indicators from a very early age, such as blood pressure, diet, exercise and weight gain and loss. The chief clinical treatment director told the media that HealthKit current and the EHR (Electronic Tiyatien record, electronic health records) system combined to more effectively help users to document lifestyle, for health consultants or doctors, It can also provide more accurate judgment and rehabilitation advice based on the recorded data.

For example, patients do not need to go to the hospital to measure their weight regularly, but instead use the Bluetooth device provided by the hospital to direct the data directly into the MyChart EHR. Once the patient's body weight changes extremely (most of it is caused by effusion), the hospital learns and sends a licensed pharmacist to adjust the dosage.

The Duke University Medical Center also has its own EHR and HealthKit, even if the patient is not in the hospital, can track their physical condition.

These data can be used for real-time tracking, recording alarms, diagnostics, hospital follow-up, and treatment recommendations.

In addition to collaborating with the medical Center, HealthKit is also collaborating on a step-by-step and Third-party data platform, such as Jawbone Up to support HealthKit.

HealthKit is Apple's first attempt to integrate health data from a variety of sources into a unified presentation to users. such as the health and fitness-related information that we have recorded from various applications, blood, heart rate, hydration, blood pressure, nutrition, blood sugar, sleep, respiration, oxygen saturation, and weight can all be selectively opened to third party applications or medical institutions for better quality and reliable service.
