The way you organize and share your health info just got better.
Health Info Comments (new): Before, the notes you wrote on specific health entries were added to one big list in your Backpack. That also meant they were bunched together at the bottom of your Share Cards, independent from the health info they were about. Now the comments you write will stay where they belong – with their health entries.
Backpack Notes (improved): Things are much more organized now that Backpack Notes have their own pocket. The standalone notes you write will be the only ones listed, without any attached comments without context in the mix.

Now you can share access with another user who has their own Backpack Health account (for example, spouses or partners). You can also invite someone in your Backpack (like a teenager) to have access to their account, too. Whenever you add someone to your Backpack we’ll also ask you to confirm that you’re authorized to manage their health info.
We’ve also expanded the information that you can enter for genetic results (including type of mutation).
This will be our last release that supports iOS 10. If you are still using iOS 10 we suggest you upgrade to the latest version of iOS, or access Backpack using Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

We’re introducing Smart Surveys in Backpack Health to make it even easier to share your data for research. Smart Surveys allow for your answers to stay with you in your Backpack as well as being de-identified and shared for research. You can use that info to manage your health journey or that of your loved ones – and even reuse your answers in future Surveys!
Right now Surveys are just geared toward specific groups, but over time we’ll have more coming.
Along with Surveys we’ve also incorporated a simple informed consent process that ensures you fully understand the impact of research on yourself and your rights as a study participant.

New navigation: You’ll have a fresh and simple new way of navigating the app when you next visit. Now everything you need (Health Info, Profiles, Share Cards, Settings, Groups, etc.) can be accessed from the main menu, by tapping or clicking on your profile picture/initials. The new navigation also makes room for a better experience on desktop. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Privacy: We always care about your privacy. We’ve now added more details in the app to explain what data is being collected and why. That way, you’ll always know, and you can stay in control of your data.
We’re on a journey to make Backpack Health accessible to everyone, and that means making changes in the way the type displays depending on your device settings. We’re just starting out, and you won’t notice much at first, but stay tuned, there’s more on the way.
