MyLinks

MyLinks is a consumer application that helps patients collect their medical records from health providers and keep them in one secure place. People can then share those records with family, clinicians or researchers.

• Document storage: a secure folder for items such as an advance directive and insurance details.
• Sharing: temporary links let a pharmacist or a second-opinion doctor review records.
• Tracking: symptoms, devices and a journal can be kept in the app.
• Research matching: users can connect with researchers and answer questionnaires.
