Apple wants to give every hospital patient in the US has access to an iPad. The device would be used to directly access their medical records and monitor information about their health. Apple is trialling a programme at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, where medical information is updated via electronic health record software such as iPad’s MyChart. The iPads are also used to help parents facetime newborns in isolation wards.
