DrChrono, the maker of an open, mobile-friendly EHR platform and other practice management software, has launched an open FHIR API that will allow a seamless transfer of patients data from the company s OnPatient personal health record (PHR) to Apple Health, the iPhone-based PHR launched by the tech giant in 2018.
Now, patients using the two platforms won t need to download and log into the OnPatient app to consolidate their health information, Daniel Kivatinos, COO and cofounder of DrChrono, told
MobiHealthNews. You go into Apple Health, you search for your doctor, you type in your login once for OnPatient, and then it simply looks like an iPhone product designed by the Apple team, he said. Instantaneously, those health records and the elements in those records like blood pressure are pulled into the iPhone-native product.
