Prove consent understanding before EHR sharing becomes permanent

You’re the design researcher. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 17, 2026.

The consent screen must preserve member understanding without breaking the continuity clinicians expect.

Broader data access supports care coordination, while explicit member control limits unexpected sharing.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My appointment is tomorrow, and I still don’t know if they can see every night I’ve ever had.”

He connected his app to a healthcare partner so his clinician could review relevant health context.

What is at stake

Nine of 16 release-test members described incompatible sharing scopes. You have to weigh clinician continuity against consent that members can genuinely explain.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • care continuity vs member control
  • release date vs verified understanding
  • clinical context vs plain-language consent
  • automation speed vs research traceability

Why Ōura

The app connects members to healthcare partners through HIPAA consent flows and EHR integrations.
