Microsoft and Google both failed with forays into medical records, so I'm skeptical apple will see much success.

Most people do not want to manage their own health records, or only become interested for short periods of time after illness.

For those who do want this service, I'm hopeful Apple will improve user experience such that its easy but provides value.

EHR vendors do not make data sharing easy so having an even larger player in the space, pushing innovation, is welcomed.
