Developed by Epic, MyChart is a health management application that provides users with electronic health data, which not only enables them to view their health test results, past medical history and other health data, but helps them contact or make appointments with their doctors directly, and even allows users to pay for their medical care simply through the app itself.

Moreover, MyChart can automatically identify and record all of your past medical records and makes them available electronically for you to view anytime, anywhere, including any treatments or tests you have received at any hospital and any medications you have taken, as long as you set up your account with your medical organization and bind your personal information as well as the information of your healthcare institution where you’ve been treated to MyChart.

Instead of traveling all the way to the hospital and spending time waiting for your results, MyChart will automatically send notifications to your phone as soon as your results are available for collection or viewing, enabling you to check your health status quickly and easily from just one smartphone whenever or wherever you are.

More importantly, MyChart not only provides you with a clear list of all the price estimates for your medical expenses before and after your treatment or examination, but also supports you to pay for these expenses simply from the app, offering you a thoughtful and convenient overall consideration whether you are a patient undergoing surgery or a user looking to save money.
