> This would require years, maybe even decades of study. Apple can't just flip a switch and do this.
Point taken, but I think that's why I phrased it as a "what if?" Because if they could, it would be one of the most sought-after health products on the market.
> This exists. Until recently I lived in a city where this was possible, but my GP wasn't on the list. You can see a list in the Health app.
Yes, the list seems to be mostly hospitals and labs. The next time I get lab work I'll certainly try to synchronize it.
What I really want is for my GP to have a high-level view of some of my habits. Why is my GP asking me, "are you exercising regularly?" What is regularly? I want him to tell me "I see you're doing lots of strength training but not very much cardio, you may want to work that in to your routine." The data is there, and my doctor could probably pull better insights from it than I could give him verbally.
So if Apple could solve this for many incompatible systems, I think it would be very popular both for doctor's offices and their patients.
