Connecting your health records — and why it is safe

What you will see, what Pivot Wellness reads, and what it never sees.

What is Pivot Wellness?

Pivot Wellness is a personal health data management and wellness coaching platform. It helps users organize their health information from multiple sources into a unified, searchable system. Users can import nutrition data, fitness tracking, bloodwork results, and clinical medical records to get a comprehensive view of their health.

The platform includes AI-powered chat for exploring your health data, scheduled monitoring workflows, and wellness coaching tools.

How the Epic Integration Works

Pivot Wellness connects to your Epic MyChart account using the SMART on FHIR standard, an industry-standard protocol for secure healthcare data exchange.

Pivot Wellness is registered across the Epic community, so you can link your records from any of hundreds of US health systems — 500 and growing — that run on Epic, not just a single hospital or network. You choose your own health system when you connect, and Pivot Wellness talks to that system's MyChart directly.

The three steps you will meet

1 · MyChart sign in
You sign in to your hospital directly, with your hospital portal login — not your Pivot Wellness one. Pivot Wellness never sees that password, and a reset goes through the hospital.
2 · Authorize access

You will see a warning that looks like the message below.

✋ Privacy Risk — this app is not provided by your healthcare organization

Your hospital shows this to every app that is not the hospital itself. It is categorical — not a judgement about Pivot Wellness.

3 · Choose data to share & duration
Authorize everything you're comfortable sharing, for as long as you're offered — usually 3 months, the longest MyChart allows. A complete picture is what lets Pivot Wellness see what a single result can't. Your hospital never tells us which window you chose, so a shorter one simply stops working one day with no warning we can give you.
What we read
  • Lab results and diagnostic reports
  • Vital signs (blood pressure, weight, heart rate, etc.)
  • Active and historical medications
  • Medical conditions and diagnoses
  • Encounter and visit history
What we never see
  • Your MyChart password
  • Anything you do not grant
  • Records from a system you have not connected

You can stop syncing, or stop and delete what we hold, at any time from Clinical → Manage.

Data We Access

With your explicit permission, Pivot Wellness may read:

  • Lab results and diagnostic reports
  • Vital signs (blood pressure, weight, heart rate, etc.)
  • Active and historical medications
  • Medical conditions and diagnoses
  • Allergies and intolerances
  • Immunization records
  • Encounter and visit history
  • Clinical notes and documents

We have read-only access. Pivot Wellness cannot modify, delete, or write any data to your medical record.

Security and Privacy

  • OAuth 2.0 with PKCE: We use the most secure form of authorization. Your credentials are never shared with us.
  • Encrypted transport, private storage: All imported health data travels over TLS 1.3, and the OAuth tokens that reach your medical record are encrypted at rest with server-managed keys. The imported records themselves are stored on our own hardware, protected by access controls and audit logging rather than row-level encryption — see Security for exactly what is and is not encrypted.
  • No data selling: We will never sell your health data to third parties.
  • Revocable access: You can disconnect at any time from Pivot Wellness or directly from MyChart's "Manage Connected Apps" settings.
  • Data deletion: You can request complete deletion of all imported medical data at any time.

Your Rights

Under the 21st Century Cures Act and the ONC Final Rule, you have the legal right to access your electronic health information through standardized APIs. Epic and your healthcare provider are required to support this access. Pivot Wellness helps you exercise this right in a secure, user-friendly way.

Not Medical Advice
