The system is the preferred personal health record for London.[4] It is in use in 22 different languages[5] at more than 60 hospitals throughout the UK, Ireland, Germany, Hong Kong, the US and the Netherlands.

After trials conducted by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board it is to be rolled out across Wales in 2017.[6]

In July 2019 it formed a partnership with HealthUnlocked, integrating their eSocial Prescription capability to enable more holistic, personalised care plans.[7]
