How do i request my Heartbeat health summary?
Your Heartbeat health summary request is automatically generated and sent to your GP once you have completed the initial onboarding process. If you are unable to connect to your GP, it may be because the details you have entered on sign up differ from the ones on file with your GP. You will have to get in contact with your general practitioner to amend this.
How secure is my account?
The Heartbeat Health Summary is encrypted. Security is based on two Factor Authentication and enables the customer to use facial/touch recognition (where applicable) to login to their Heartbeat account.
How do I delete my account?
Once you have signed up, you can choose to close your account anytime by going to the settings page and tapping on “delete account”

How do I share my health information with my insurer?
During the initial onboarding stages you will be asked whether you consent to your insurer having access to your health summary data. If you give consent, your insurer will be able to access your Health Summary at the time of a medical emergency or when you make a claim (Insurer access restricted to twice).
If you do not wish to give consent to your Insurer, you can deny access during the initial onboarding process or turn off access in the data sharing section of the application. Once turned off, your insurer will not be able to see any of your health data. You will still be able to use the application as normal. You can re-consent to an Insurer accessing this information at any time should you have need to.
