Apple HealthKit is still in its early stages, but there is a growing interest in the platform. Duke Medicine has integrated HealthKit with its Epic electronic health record, and is using it in research and clinical trials. There are also other health networks and individual developers who are working to integrate the app. However, there are still concerns about the security and interoperability of HealthKit. The hope is that more devices and solutions will integrate with HealthKit to push structured data into electronic health records.
