The Medelinked app is now available for Samsung Galaxy and other Android devices in Google Play via the S Health platform. Joining other S Health partners — such as Cigna, Nike and Virgin Pulse — the application provides users with one place to manage their own and their family’s health if they need urgent medical treatment at home or abroad. Relying on an easy to grasp interface, it enables users to securely access their medical history and share it with doctors.

Medelinked supports a range of medical details including allergies, conditions, immunizations, medications and tests, as well as insurance and other documentation, clinical standard DICOM MRI scans and x-rays. The application also allows users to locate healthcare specialists, connect and share their health records with their network of trusted health partners and providers. This in turn, Modelinked claims, helps individuals track, monitor and improve their health state, while keeping them in control of their own health.
