Enabling data exchange between electronic medical records (EMRs) and personal health apps has the potential to boost the secondary usage of health data, eventually increasing the quality of life. In this paper, the authors present a mobile app architecture that enables the integration of legacy cross-enterprise document sharing (XDS) and next generation fast healthcare interoperability resources (FHIR) compatible electronic medical record (EMR) systems with personal mobile applications. The realization of this architecture is achieved by linking EMR information from multiple providers at the point of care, with a personal health app for citizens, combining the benefits and potential of both XDS and FHIR.
