helps users organize and keep health records for family members. Records contain the
dates, diagnoses, tests, treatments, and health care providers for each health care
event. Read why many health experts say this is necessary.

 Yes, doctors do keep records of the problems they have treated
themselves, but a patient may consult several specialists for various problems, or may
change doctors after moving. In addition, doctors themselves may move or retire, or
lose records of patients they have not seen for years. Whether or not this is the
ideal system, in reality, it is the patient who is responsible for keeping records, and is
the most motivated and best able to do so, especially for family health histories. |

| Health-Minder's utility depends on how much information
the user wishes to enter. Some may prefer to store only basic information, such as
vaccinations and major illnesses. Others may use all of the program's facilities, devoting
as much effort to organizing family health information as they do to family
finances. Whether a mere sketch or a detailed portrait, Health-Minder provides a
better picture of family health. Entering
information into Health-Minder is easy. Intelligent data entry forms have Help and
Examples to guide user interaction, and a Notepad so users can add any additional
information not on the form. Here is the screen for filling out information about a
disease that may be at least partly inheritable. In this example, the item is
Alzheimer's disease. |
