Apple announces the brand new shiny Heatlh app with the new Health Records capablity. This is all lashed to FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), a REST based text exchange protocol for healthcare data. Woo hoo.
So they add the following data to HK:
- Allergies
- Clincial Vitals - "what the clinic says" vs "what Withings says" I suppose
- Conditions
- Immunizations
- Lab Results
- Medications
- Proceedures
None of this is presented in the HealthKit.framework headers:
..../Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/HealthKit.framework/Headers/
So how to get something like HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAllergyMedication to add such values from an app on the device?
I certainally hope that the interface and data elements are not locked to medical institutions... my medical data belongs to me, not my doctor... I let my doctor borrow it.
