I think you might want to heed the advice about privacy regulations in the other threads.

Just thought, I'd share what I think about the substance of the idea (not the implementation). I think a big untold story in the US healthcare system is how it shifts the burden of coordinating care to patients and/or their loved ones.

To be sure, there is a lot of decisions that the individual (or their NoK) should be making but the amount of paperwork that flies around and lack of coordination between say an insurance company and the provider is astounding. This becomes very pronounced for every corner case and the entire machinery is wired to record things in myriad systems but somehow not make things better when it comes to the core outcomes -- providing healthcare. Every entity in the food chain is out to (and does!) make a buck. Meanwhile, there is a wait time of > 30 days to meet one's primary care physician over a video chat!

So, I absolutely LOVE your idea. The implementation probably requires a lot of iterations here. One suspects that there are ways in which a consumer facing app could make some real money to level the playing field in favor of the patient while being a sustainable busienss.
