Description
Particle Health has created a patient authorization tool that enables fast aggregation and transmission of traditionally fragmented medical records. We believe patients have the right to access \u0026 control their data, but shouldn’t bear the responsibility of gathering and managing it themselves. \n\nFor stakeholders that need access to an individual’s medical data, Particle Health is an API that manages security, authorization \u0026 retrieval via HL7/FHIR feeds of traditionally siloed medical data. This means no patient portals and no faxes - just an API.
