BlueJeans Telehealth Adds Support for Syncing Apple Health App Data

[MacRumors]

BlueJeans Telehealth has today announced that it will integrate with Apple's Health app to give more contextual information to healthcare providers.

BlueJeans Telehealth is a HIPAA-ready virtual care system that provides a way for healthcare providers to meet with their patients via a video call, integrating with the workflows of clinical teams to replicate the experience of onsite encounters.

The BlueJeans Telehealth app will now allow patients to share specific categories of health data from Apple's Health app, including heart rate, ECGs, step count, mobility data, sleep, and falls, with their healthcare provider during telehealth appointments, via HealthKit.

Patients can specifically control which encrypted health data they wish to share while supplying healthcare providers with additional information to give more informed advice.

Health data can be selected within the pre-visit patient landing experience or through the televisit tile during the session. Once synced, the healthcare provider will be able to see, expand, and interact with the Apple Health app data, allowing them to observe trends and highlight data on-screen for the patient.

I'll have to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure Verizon owns BlueJeans. Not sure if that impacts anyone, but I think I heard that yesterday (in a Verizon lol)

Oh nice! Makes it easier to communicate with the healthcare provider.

Yes. Verizon does own BlueJeans, but not sure how that would impact anyone.

Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong with this.

At first, I thought the article title said something about eating blue jeans for theeth health.

I was concerned that flossing might be more difficult, what with all that denim getting stuck in the teeth and needing more frequent flossing. Then I reconsidered and promised myself that I would have an open mind because, well you know...breakthroughs, true breakthroughs don't come through all that often and we shouldn't look for cavities in our gift horse's mouth.

In the meantime, salt, pepper, or maybe a nice pork rub?

On the blue jeans, not the horse, you ninnies! 😁 🐎

Oh nice! Makes it easier to communicate with the healthcare provider.

But also make it more likely that a HIPAA breach will take place.
