Hi, Michael.
Thank you for your interest in HealthFrame.
Maintaining a personal health record (PHR) has many benefits:
http://www.recordsforliving.com/PersonalHealthRecords/WhyAreThey.aspxHealthFrame in particular offers significant benefits to individual users:
http://www.recordsforliving.com/HealthFrame/Benefits.aspxAs we age, a better understanding of how our health has evolved can significantly impact the quality of the care we receive, e.g. establishing 'baseline' measurements for weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.
Consider also the important fact that there is currently no mechanism that allows an individual to maintain access to his/her medical record information other than in patient-controlled PHRs. If you use a PHR offered by your employer or insurer, chances are you will not have access to that information if you switch jobs, move, or retire. HealthFrame is entirely in your control and supports unique customization, tracking and reporting capabilities.
Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance,
Support Team
