Patrick Murphy, a 47-year-old orthopaedic surgeon from County Kildare, is used to managing complex health decisions – both professionally and personally. Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2009, Patrick relies on a personalised treatment plan and regular check-ups to keep his condition in check. But as a healthcare professional himself, he also understands the importance of having quick, secure access to his own health data.
With the xShare Yellow Button, Patrick is empowered to do just that. Integrated into Ireland’s HSE National App and platforms like PATHed, the Yellow Button allows him to access and share his up-to-date medical records on demand. Whether it’s a video consultation or a visit to his GP, Patrick can control exactly what information is shared, with whom, and when.
His health journey is not just about treatment – it’s about autonomy. Patrick also chooses to share selected data for research with the UCC School of Medicine, helping improve diabetes care for others.
For patients like Patrick, the xShare Yellow Button ensures that healthcare data sharing is not just digital – it’s secure, consent-based, and citizen-centred.
