Health information doesn't "scale" to anything like a national database. Leaving aside the issue of access which BRD raises and noting of straightforward matters like serious allergies, the only person who really understands an individual's current medical status is their own doctor. Joe Blow can't be expected to monitor or update their record on the basis of inadequate medical understanding and Dr. Google, even if they know how to do it in the first place. (I wonder how practicable that would be using the small screen on an IPhone anyway?)
