>> I want to one day build a clinic run without an EHR. All of the personal health data of a patient will be stored on their phone. Each time they come into the office, they’ll give OAuth access to one of our physicians...

I like this idea, but patients vary wildly in responsibility. You'd have to have a plan for those who can't or won't keep track of anything.

I agree. It's the first thing I thought when I read it.

This is a stunningly huge point of failure with a very high probability that any one patient will either: forget their phone, break their phone, not have a phone, have the wrong phone, have no charge on their phone, not know how to use their phone, have an out-dated phone, etc. I think you get the idea.
