Although there’s still some NHS GPs who remain very negative about the idea of ‘healthy people using Health Apps’ it’s great to see that EMIS (the provider of the EHR used by most NHS GPs – follow them on Twitter) have enabled Patients using Apple HealthKit to share their data with their Primary Care Provider.
