It really annoys me that in this day and age there is no system that exists that allows ME to be in control of MY medical data which I can give access to on a per-physician basis (think FB/Google permissions). Apple Health is a step in the right direction (though even as a fanboy I hate that it's Apple-only) and I love how I can share that data back out on a per-app basis.

I personally love the graphs/stats that I can pull from this data all being in one place and I'd love to have the same for ALL my medical records so that when I got to a new doctor I can easily give them all my records.

The problem with that is managing the granularity: you'd need to also grant access to the clinician's administrators, clinical coders, some administrative pipeline...
