Ever since the in‐built health app was released, there have been noticeable strides that have been made by Apple to improve it. When the iOS8 was released, the HealthKit enabled app was promoted by Apple. The expansion of the service was then seen in the iOS 9 version with new points on the health data. Well now it is believed that company plans to take things into another level with the release if the iOS 10.
Users will now be allowed to store the information about their health status using the standard of the Level 7 Care Document else known as HL7CCD. This means that with the HL77CCD, the use of CD’s or paperwork would not be needed in order to maintain the record of the user’s health. It will directly be available in the app, and can also go ahead and import it not just from other applications but also from Safari and Mail.
For users, this iOS Health app would be really useful especially they want to combine it with Apple Watch. However, if you look at things on a micro level, then you will see that this is the source of where the strength comes in. This is because not much effort has to be put in by the user to store the data. The input points automatically update the information as and when it is used or recorded.
The continuity of Care Document comes in really handy when you do not know what to do with the information that the doctor has given. It will help you to keep it so that it can be used whenever you needed. The information is logged in a particular format. This can also be shared whenever you want to. Years of the user’s health data can be followed by healthcare professional and is very easily accessible.
