Disappointed that Fitbit and Apple's HealthKit are not planning to link between the two. While I recognize Fitbit is the wearable leader, and maybe there is a threat from the Apple wrist device, the consumer is left to integrate the data. Will need to look into Fitbit options... Disappointed in Epic Patient Portal, Walgreens and HealthVault. Healthline and others provide great drug-to-drug interaction tools. Would be great if my PHIEx tools could integrate to this service, and notify me of any concerns... Theranos: - Draws blood using a finger stick and not a syringe. - Can process my results with a small amount of blood. - I can go to a pharmacy drawing station. - Costs less. But what got my attention were these statements: “we believe you have the right to your own health information” and “answers at the speed of digital.” Will be pushing my physician for Theranos the next time I need labs done... Update: I've been to Theranos several times. Never had a finger-stick blood draw, some analyts were resulted by a different lab (UCSF), Theranos' online site did not provide an XML (discrete data) export, and they are having trouble with the FDA. Wow. Disappointed, Hope this is just a technology that is just a little to early. Really want to draw/test my blood multiple times a year. On my own schedule, without a Dr's order... Someday.... Microsoft getting in the smart watch game later this year? I hope they are either providing their own health-data integration platform that all health apps write to, or they integrate with Apple or Samsung's health-data platform.
It is helpful that Walgreens provides all medication history and the cost. Disappointed I can only get a PDF of my medications. Would prefer discrete data. Received my lab results back from a clinic-based Lab. Downloaded them from Epic System's Patient Portal. Now my XML CCD does not load into HealthVault. Can only get them into the PHR in PDF format. Frustated... Can't trend my results! |
