MyDigiRecords, KONZA Health team up on patient-controlled data exchange

MyDigiRecords and KONZA Health announced a partnership on Sept. 16, 2026 to connect a patient-controlled personal health record with a health information exchange. The goal is to let patients pull in longitudinal clinical records and share supported patient-generated data with authorized care teams.

Why it matters: - The partnership is designed to give patients more control over their health data while helping clinicians see information that is often missing between visits. - A bidirectional exchange could reduce the need for patients to repeat histories across multiple portals and care settings. - The integration aligns with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Kill the Clipboard effort to make record sharing more secure and less manual.

What happened: - MyDigiRecords and KONZA Health announced a partnership on Sept. 16, 2026. - The planned integration connects MyDigiRecords’ patient-controlled personal health record with KONZA Health’s health information exchange. - Patients will be able to securely retrieve available clinical information from KONZA Health into the MyDigiRecords app. - With patient authorization, supported information maintained or generated in MDR, including SmartVitals™ wellness measurements and other patient-provided health information, can be shared back through KONZA Health. - Authorized care teams will be able to access the exchanged information.

The details: - Patients can retrieve available longitudinal clinical information through KONZA Health and organize it in their MDR health profile. - Patients control how their information is shared. - Supported patient-generated information can move from MDR back through KONZA Health to providers. - Authorized healthcare professionals can see a broader view of the patient, including relevant information captured outside conventional care encounters. - KONZA Health’s exchange services bring together records from diverse clinical sources to create longitudinal patient records. - KONZA Health supports bidirectional exchange, clinical document sharing and query-based access across connected local and national networks. - MyDigiRecords says its MDR application helps users securely organize, access and share medical records, medications, vaccinations, wellness information and other health details through one patient-controlled platform. - KONZA Health is a Designated Qualified Health Information Network™ under TEFCA™. - KONZA Health was founded in 2010 as the Kansas Health Information Network.

Between the lines: - The partnership tries to move beyond one-way portal access, which typically ties patients to records from a single organization. - If implementation works as planned, care teams could get a more complete picture of what happens between traditional clinical encounters. - The deal also positions both companies around broader interoperability goals that are gaining traction in federal policy discussions. - Dr. Saroj Gupta, founder and CEO of MyDigiRecords, said the partnership is designed to close the loop between clinical records, patient-generated data and care-team access. - Laura McCrary, Ed.D., president and CEO of KONZA Health, said the connection is meant to make health information more accessible, useful and actionable for patients and their care teams.

What's next: - Organizations interested in participating in the implementation can visit more information or contact Dr. Saroj Gupta at saroj@mydigirecords.com. - MyDigiRecords and KONZA Health did not provide a timeline for rollout in the announcement. - The companies are positioning the integration for broader participation by healthcare organizations and implementation partners.

The bottom line: - The partnership aims to turn patient health data exchange from a one-way record lookup into a two-way workflow that includes patient-generated information and authorized clinician access.
