Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to displaying aggregated health records on an electronic device. The method includes receiving a request to display health records for a user while the device is associated with one health care provider. The method also includes displaying categories of health records in response to receiving the first request, where selection of a category while the device is associated with the health care provider causes the device to display health records of the category from the health care provider. The method also includes receiving a second request to display health records for the user while the device is associated with two health care providers, where selection of a category while the device is associated with both health care providers causes the device to display health records in the selected category that is from both health care providers.
