Australia is developing a mobile application that will allow patients to store their health records on their smartphone, Dr Leif Hanlen, Technical Director at Australia’s National ICT Agency (NICTA) has announced.
The app will encrypt the records and allow patients to share it with others if they wish to.
NICTA is also experimenting with open clinical data. For instance, it is analysing hospital records to predict which sections of a hospital may be at risk of an infection.
NICTA researchers have converted medical terms to machine-readable formats and made them available online. The Australian Capital Territory health department is now using this to management patient discharge reports.
