Your Personal Health Record (PHR) is where you may store all your available medical data.   You may upload your medical reports, new or old, in any sequence and they will  form part of an integrated record that your doctors would find easy to read and interpret. It is an efficient way to make your doctors fully understand you as a patient before they prescribe your treatment.

Creating and maintaining your PHR:

It is easy to create your WatchMyHealth Personal Health Record online yourself, by clicking on the Create new account button in the Home Page and following the instructions.  If you have consulted the doctor at WMH Preventive Health Centre, your PHR would already be in existence.   Creation and maintenance of your PHR is a free service.

It is essential to keep your PHR always complete and up-to-date in order to realize the full potential of its usefulness to doctors treating you. Your Personal Health Record provides information to your doctor about:

- your current physical and metabolic parameters, haemoglobin, blood counts, relevant disease markers, kidney and liver function tests, ECGs and radiological imaging. (You can enter these results yourself using the left menu)

- the complete list of your health conditions, recent consultations and other relevant clinical history. (These can be entered and edited only by the doctor at WMH).

Entering your data:

You may enter new laboratory data or edit existing ones in your PHR using the options in the left menu. ECGs and other images including photographs of X-rays, scanned discharge summaries etc may be uploaded using the link at the bottom of the left menu.

The staff at the WMH Preventive Health Centre are trained to assist you with maintaining your PHR up-to-date. Your health conditions and clinical history are recorded by the doctor at WMH.

Retrieving your information is done through the following options in the right menu:

Master Health Report (MHR) – a comprehensive PDF report that includes the complete history and progress notes, all laboratory reports and images (ECG, X-rays etc.). This may be printed out as a hard copy, instantly emailed to your doctor or viewed online. It is possible to view all older recorded results online while the PDF report prints only the latest four results owing to limitation of space in a paper copy.

Print Medications – prints the current list of medications and their dosage.

Test Report – prints the report of tests done on any chosen date:

Monitoring your health:

Set Test Intervals in the right menu enables your doctor to set the intervals at which tests should be done to monitor your health effectively.   When intervals (in months) are entered in this page based on your specific monitoring needs and saved, a list of 'Overdue Tests' and 'Current and Up-to-date Tests' opens.  This list will be emailed to you periodically (on the 15th of every month).  The list can also be accessed through the corresponding link in the right menu panel.  You are advised to carry out these tests and have the results entered in your PHR, thereby keeping your health monitoring status always up-to-date.  When an 'overdue test' result is entered in your PHR, that test disappears from the refreshed Overdue Tests List and is moved to the 'Up-to-date and Current Tests' list located below.

Reminders, also located in the right menu, is another useful utility that enables you or your doctor to set up reminders for specific health actions including laboratory tests, reviews, specialist appointments and so on - that are not covered by the regular monitoring scheme set up by the test intervals.
