3rd party application access is how you view your health information using apps on your smartphone, tablet, or with a web browser. These third-party applications, or apps, must meet Ontada eligibility standards to participate in the program.

How Do I Share My Data with a Health App?

To share your date with a health app:

Let your clinic know you want to connect your health app to your health data.
Your clinic will send you an email with the instructions to create an account.
With an account created, open your health app and connect it to your data.

Generally, in most health apps, the option to connect to your medical records is usually found in one of these places:

Profile or Account Settings
Health Records
Medical Records
Connected Apps & Devices
Data Sources
Privacy & Data Sharing
Linked Accounts

Typical steps look like this:

Open the app's Settings or tap your profile picture.
Look for Health Records, Medical Records, or Connected Accounts.
Choose Add Provider, Link Health System, or Connect Records.
Search for your healthcare organization (hospital, clinic, physician group, etc.).
Sign in with your Ontada Health credentials.
Authorize the app to access your records.

Examples:

Apple Health: Profile → Health Records → Add Account.
Samsung Health: Usually through connected health services or partner integrations in Settings.
Google Health Connect: Manages data sharing between apps, though access to provider medical records depends on the connected app.
Insurance apps: Often have a Claims & Records or Health Records section.

Each app must be approved by Ontada before it is allowed to connect to patient data. If you do not see Ontada Health listed in your app, contact the app developers and request that they enroll in the Ontada Marketplace.

What Browser Should I Use to Access Ontada Health?

Use the latest version of Google Chrome to access Ontada Health. Some other browsers are supported.

Why Am I Asked for My Date of Birth When I Create My Account?

Ontada Health uses your Date of Birth to validate your registration code with your health record. If you have trouble completing registration, check with your clinic that your date of birth is recorded correctly.

Can My Clinic See My Connected Apps?

No. Providers and staff at your Health Care Facility are not able to see any information in connected apps. Apps you connect to Ontada Health and information stored in them are not shared with your clinic and are not included in your chart.

Is My Info Safe?

This feature is based on Smart on FHIR technology, which was developed by Health Level Seven International (HL7), a healthcare standards organization. Smart on FHIR is promoted by the ONC. As required by the HITECH Act, Ontada thoroughly tested this feature and is certified by an ONC-approved testing body. Ontada abides by all regulatory requirements to ensure patient safety and to support the adoption of advanced health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information.
