How do I share my Healthbook data with my Doctor? Answer: I can't, because Apple provides no facility to do so

Here is a simple solution to use this app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/qs-access/id920297614?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Apple has made the data available, and app developers can create apps like this, just as your insurance, doctor, etc. I think this is a better solution because it puts us in control of our health data.

Hi vlestat,

To share your Health data with your health care provider, you would use the app supplied by them.

From the iPhone Help pages (and user guide)

Share health and fitness data - iPhone

Share data. Follow the instructions that can come with the app or the device to set it up, then watch for a sharing request where you control whether data is shared by the Health app. For example, your health care provider might provide an app that sends blood pressure updates to your doctor. You need only install the app, then allow the Health app to share blood pressure data when prompted.

A couple of examples are:

Amwell (Free)

Mayo Clinic (Free)

Best regards,

Hello.

Funny thing is, that nowadays you can share almost everything. Even the most secure applications have the social media sharing.

BUT. First time I could really use the share-button: no, it does not exist.

Apple Healthbook. I´ve been tracking my blood pressure, and keeping record on Healthbook. Now my doctor would like to see the list. What I need to do is take multiple screen-captures and combine them into one bigger image with all the numbers needed. Yes, this is really handy.

Apple? Are you listening?

No, they aren't, because this forum is not for giving feedback to Apple. It's a user-to-user technical assistance forum. Had you read the Terms of Use that you agreed to when signing up for this forum, you'd know that.

Go to www.apple.com/feedback if you want to give Apple feedback. And if your doctor doesn't have an app that can interface with the Health data, then that's a limitation of your doctor and his support staff, not Apple. It's not that hard to make such an app, and perhaps your doctor needs to look into that if he/she wants to keep up with the times.

Hahah...

I assume every doctor has e-mail..? Well, maybe not there in India, but here in Finland yes. No need to have "an app that can interface with the Health data".

My doctor asked for an e-mail. All I need is a button that says "e-mail this data". Talking about a simple list of numbers, shouldn´t be too difficult.

Health (not Healthbook, by the way) makes it possible to share data between applications that wouldn't otherwise be able to do so. The original response gives some examples of apps that you can use to share data from Health with your doctor. Have you tried any of them yet?

Many doctors will not use email for any information that is confidential.

WHile it is difficult to hack an Apple device, it is relatively easy and common for email account to get hacked, thus exposing a doctor to potential lawsuits for revealing confidential information.

I think this may be the reason the Apps do not have a share feature.

I´m not gonna get any new applications for sharing this really simple list.

Well. Maybe start using Notepad instead, and forget the Health-app.

Suit yourself.

Then give that feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. Perhaps they'll add that feature in a future update.

Download the WebMD app, connect, choose what you want to share. In "Healthy Target" > "My Data" you can generate a 60 day report that can be sent directly to your doctor(s).

I've been doing this for a while. Haven't found anything in iOS 10 that does this for us (yet). Hope this helps.

EDIT: I *think* it may be in .PDF format, I'm not exactly sure. However, there have been no issues thus far.

It's a good suggestion (though I'm not sure why you're replying to me).

Best of luck.
