Using Apple HealthKit to Care for Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/13/2015

Rajiv Kumar, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist at Stanford Children's Health
and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, can access a teenager with
Type 1 diabetes' blood-sugar readings quickly, without having to transcribe
readings from his blood glucose meter or schedule a clinic appointment. And
it’s all because of a new health-care platform from Apple.

In September 2014, the company released Apple HealthKit, a technology that
can securely share patient-generated data with third-party applications,
including Epic MyChart, the electronic medical record and patient portal
system used by Stanford Children’s Health.

Patients wear a continuous glucose monitor that sends 288 blood-sugar
readings a day to an Apple mobile device through Bluetooth. The data is
securely transmitted via HealthKit into the patient's electronic medical
record at Stanford Children's Health through the MyChart app.
