The first developer preview of Android 16 was just launched and it's giving us a glance at some of the new features to look forward to for next year. The preview confirms that Android 16 will bring a nice update to the Health Connect service with support for medical records.
One limitation of Health Connect is that apps can access and store data on it if the service has APIs for it. Different types of data are currently supported and are categorized under Activity, Body Measurement, Cycle Tracking, Nutrition, Sleep, and Vitals. But currently, medical records are not supported, and that's to change in Android 16.
The Health Connect app is also going to have a new"browse health records" button with Android 16. The button is reportedly going to be positioned on the main screen under the"manage data" section. I really like the direction Google is going with this app. It's very convenient to have one place where all your health and wellness info is stored, and adding medical records to it seems like a very useful thing.
