The decision by Health Minister Greg Hunt to prohibit health insurers from involvement in the My Health Record system has put the future of Sydney start-up Tyde in doubt, with the company deciding in the next week whether to continue or to wind up.

Tyde has developed a mobile platform that allows consumers to access their My Health Record through an app and to link health records from disparate sources together. It has been in trials with a number of care co-ordination groups including insurers to use the platform to support consumers with chronic health conditions.
