Choose an app
These are private-sector apps built by companies across the health tech ecosystem. Each one lets you pull your medical records from your providers and share them with any doctor — instantly, using a QR code.
Pick one, download it, connect your providers, and you're ready to kill your first clipboard.

Download the app
Install it on your phone from the App Store or Google Play.
Connect your providers
Search for your doctors, hospitals, and health plans, then log in to pull your records.
Your records arrive
Your medical history, medications, allergies, and lab results appear in the app.
Share with a QR code
At your next visit, show your doctor a QR code. They scan it and have your full history instantly.
Your data. Your rules.
We know sharing health data can feel scary. Here's how these apps protect you.
CARIN Code of Conduct
Every app here has agreed to the CARIN Code of Conduct — transparent data use, patient control, and no selling your data without clear consent.
Independently certified
Apps are certified by organizations like DirectTrust and the DiMe Seal for meeting rigorous privacy and security standards — so you're not just taking the app's word for it.
AI stays in your lane
When apps use AI to help you understand your records, your data stays in a private, isolated environment. It is never used to train AI models. Your health data helps you — and only you.
Killing the clipboard is just the beginning
Most of healthcare happens outside the clinic. At home. At work. Late at night when something doesn't feel right. When your health data connects to intelligent tools, you're not alone anymore.
Answers at 8 p.m.
Conversational AI tools connect to your health records and help you make sense of what they mean — in plain language, any time. Not replacing your doctor. Making you a better patient when your doctor isn't in the room.
Diabetes, obesity & beyond
Apps are launching for diabetes management, weight loss support, and chronic condition prevention — personalized to your actual medical history. Connect your wearable and see what your body is telling you.
The CMS App Library
CMS has launched a curated App Library on Medicare.gov with apps, videos, and step-by-step guides to help you get started.
Think about boarding a flight today. You scan your phone and everything the system needs is already there. Healthcare should work the same way — and now it can.
Common questions
Which app should I pick?
Browse the CMS App Library to see what's available. If your health plan has its own app, that's a great place to start. Otherwise, pick any app that looks good to you — they all support the same standards, so your records will work the same way.
Do I need to be a member to use these?
Most apps are open to everyone. A few are for existing members of a health plan only — the CMS App Library notes which ones.
What data will the app see?
The app can access the records you choose to pull in — things like your medical history, medications, allergies, and lab results. You control which providers you connect and what you share.
Is my data safe?
Yes. These apps follow the CARIN Code of Conduct and are independently certified for privacy and security. If they use AI, your data stays private and is never used to train models.
What if my doctor doesn't know what a QR code is?
That's okay — it's new! You can say: "I have my medical records on my phone and can share them with you via a QR code." We have a guide in the Share section to help you walk them through it.
What if my doctor won't accept my records?
Report it using the Take Action section on the homepage. Under federal law, providers must accept patient health records. We'll help you figure out the right next step.
