Four things to know: 

1. Mayo Clinic patients who have an online patient portal account can now use Apple’s Health Records app, which lets users view their health data from multiple providers on a single platform. 

2. Use of the Health Records feature in iPhone’s Health app is optional and will not affect the user’s patient portal account. 

3. Mayo Clinic patients with Android devices can use a similar health records app called CommonHealth. 

4. Apple is set to roll out new health features for the Health Records app this fall, including giving users the option to share certain types of health data such as heart rate and detected falls with their physicians.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
