In the US, the UK and Canada, many hospitals, clinics and labs can send your records to the Health app from Apple, where you can see them and choose which apps may read them.
Connect your providers in the Health app
- Open the Health app on your iPhone and tap your picture or initials at the top right.
- Tap Health Records, then Get Started or Add Account.
- Search for your hospital, clinic or lab, and sign in with your patient portal account, the one you use on the provider's website.
Apple's directory lists more than 18,600 US locations: hospitals, clinics, practices and labs. Each provider decides what it shares: often lab results, medications, conditions, allergies, immunizations, procedures and visit notes.
Where Health Records isn't offered
Ask your provider for your records: most have a patient portal or a records request form, and in the US you have a right to a copy of your medical records. Download them as a PDF, or take clear photos of paper reports.
In Vitaclaris
Connect once in Settings → Apple Health → Health Records, and Vitaclaris reads your records from the Health app on your iPhone. New results join your charts with the lab's own flags and ranges, and something new, like a result outside the lab's range, becomes a question for your doctor. Your records stay on your device, and in your end-to-end encrypted sync if you turn it on. For providers outside Health Records, add their reports as a PDF or a photo, in any language; with Vitaclaris Plus, Claude reads them for you.
