Stanford Health Care released an iOS app today for its MyHealth service. The new software allows patients to track their health data and keep track of the information in their online MyHealth account. A HealthKit syncing feature allows the app to pull in your data from Apple’s built-in data tracker and upload it to Stanford for a “virtual checkup.â€
The app can also be used to make appointments, see test results, and consult with your doctor over a video chat. Users can also manage prescriptions and message Stanford’s medical staff. Support for paying bills is also built in.
Earlier this week Reuters found that many of the nation’s top hospitals are currently working on integrating Apple’s HealthKit into their own management systems to help patients keep better track of their health.
The Stanford MyHealth app is available for free from the App Store.
