Google Health adds a faster way to share your medical history with doctors
Google Health version 5.05 introduces Smart Health Links, a new way to share a summary of your medical history with healthcare professionals.
Google Health has introduced a new feature called Smart Health Links, which enables users to share their medical records in a more convenient manner. This feature, available in version 5.05 of the Google Health app, allows users to create a shareable link or QR code that contains a summary of their medical history. Users can select the specific data they wish to include and then share the summary with healthcare professionals or family members, thereby eliminating the need for tedious intake forms during doctor visits or specialist appointments.
The Smart Health Links feature is currently available in the US and opens up Google Health's medical records to authorized parties, providing a more efficient way to hand over one's medical history compared to traditional methods. Additionally, version 5.05 brings two-way syncing with Apple Health, allowing data to flow between the two apps for the first time.
