That\u2019s just the start, as the app\u2014currently in beta stage testing\u2014also will give access to information from healthcare organizations that get services from LabCorp, covering patients\u2019 allergies, medical conditions, immunizations, medications, procedures and vital signs, turning the iPhone into a patient\u2019s own electronic medical record, company executives say.

Patient information will be viewable in the Apple Health app for LabCorp patients that have a LabCorp patient account, enabling integration with the Health Records app. Patients will be notified when their data is updated.

Patient data will be encrypted and further protected via the user\u2019s iPhone passcode, as well as the vendor\u2019s Touch ID biometric fingerprint authentication software or the Face ID facial recognition system.

\u201cOur strategy to support the increasingly engaged consumer is a critical part of our mission to improve health and improve lives,\u201d says David King, chair and CEO at LabCorp. The new tools, he adds, will help provide patients with a more holistic view of their health.

Test results also will be accessible via an online portal with tools that include scheduling and making payments.
