Induction rolls out health records on iPhone with NHS trust

Healthcare technology company Induction announced on Tuesday that its ‘Induction Zesty’ product, working in collaboration with Apple and the Cerner Corporation, had recently supported the rollout of health records on the iPhone platform to patients at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Trust (MKUH).

The AIM-traded firm said it was one of the first two NHS hospital trusts to launch the feature in the UK.

It said hospitals using the Induction Zesty patient portal and the Cerner Millennium electronic health records platform could use the technology to “maximise” the number of patients accessing health records on the iOS platform.

“With brilliant support from our friends at Milton Keynes hospital and Cerner, we worked to authenticate and onboard Milton Keynes patients so they're able to use health records on iPhone,” said joint chief executive officer James Balmain.

“Over 70,000 patients have registered at Milton Keynes and they can now access this feature on their iPhones.

“We are huge supporters of giving patients access to their clinical records and I see the availability of health records on iPhone in the UK market as a positive step towards this goal.”
