Downloaded cleanly on my Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit laptop. Nice UI, very user friendly. I have a very "involved" medical history due to an autoimmune disorder so this is something that may come in handy. The patient portals from the doctors are great, but often times I see doctors who aren't in the same network and so have their own portals. This software, I think, will allow me, to put all of that info in one spot in a clean, easy to understand manner.

Today's offering looked as if it could be quite useful, however after downloading and installing the actual software installed is nothing like the slideshow shown in the description. For example the domo slideshows the ability to add pictures to the records I haven't found a way to do this and quite a few other functions are missing as well, so today's offering is a slimmed down version and is nothing more than a very simple database. Won't be keeping this.

Robert,

I had a quick look and from the start screen, hover over the patient - select health journal - add a new record - there are options to add files, photos, mini bar chart and body diagrams.

I can understand the need for this program. However someone cannot create medical records for a spouse or any child over the age of 18. That is in direct violation of the HIPAA laws.

KyBunnies, actually you can. You just have to have their permission or power of attorney.

Good start, but a long way to go. Many hospitals now are developing online programs that keep and share doctors records with patients in far more detail than this program. For example, you might have a blood test for PSA and after 6 results, the program would compile a graph, or alert when test result is in an abnormal range. There are tests that everyone should do sometimes. Although this program is an a la cart version of keeping track, why not combine it with a medical dictionary and some definitions and explanations of medical procedures. So then if I have to take a CEA test (Carcigen Antigen Test) for colon cancer, there should be a blurb I can attach that the umbrella of safety is genrally under five; that each test or vial of blood has a .5 range of error, that the information should be graphed in subsequent tests, so that if my base was at 4.3, my range could be from 3.8 to 4.8.somethings the doctors don't even know and would never tell you unless you read voluminous studies.............

really now, the program looks so weak, like a tough guy that walked into a saloon looking like a gunslinger with an empty gun and nothing more than a limp cigarette to make him look tough. This program has a long way to go to log the information required that a complete health record SHOULD HAVE, to know what results mean and their accuracy, and to suggest what is needed for a COMPLETE health record.

I travel overseas a lot, every time I get a shot or inoculation, I have the doctor register it in a yellow book I carry called international certificates of vaccinations along with my passport, since 1986
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carte_Jaune would be nice if this program alerted that to me and other things; I am sure such a document will outlast this program and the computer it is installed on.so then of medical records are so important, where is all this stored for safe keeping, not just the reports, but the database? doctors come and go, records are all over the place, and there is never a central database, not even in this program, unless in addition to being a competent record of medical facts, even more so than your doctor, your are also an expert geek that backs up everything and has all that time. HMM. If only there was a detailed database you could refer to, like perhaps a lifelong medical robot that had all your information that all doctors could access. and now we have the the central questions; the impermanence of the internet and the organization and backing up of that information. what database do I have now will I need in 20 years and who is going to care for it and organize it for that long.

Anyone know what the half life of a drug means? So then the next questions, how much do you need to know to have meaningful records. Do you take the pill because you understand what it does, how it works, and all the side effects; or are you the goat in the doctors experiment. So then under medications in this program, where is the entry for half life of the drug? so the next question is, how smart do you want the users to be about their health beyond a general reminder. You know most people that care about their health will spend 30 more times doing searches on the internet than logging on to a program like this. I did use the program, and the first log was medication, and I remembered to take my pill this morning with the correct dosage, now I have that information in my computer to print a report when needed and on the bottle. but when I go to the doctor, they will want to see the bottle, but just in case I forget, and also the doctor, it will be on my computer as a reminder.
