Healthcheques

Healthcheques is a portable collection of an individual’s personal medical info.

The Healthcheques app is a comprehensive and portable collection of an individual’s personal medical information. It is like a filing cabinet for someone to keep all of their health data and medical history in organized health related categories on their portable device and to have it with them at all times. With the ability to store multiple profiles, it also means that someone could store medical information relating to all their family members, even including their pets. By answering a range of selected questions when prompted, an individual profile can be seamlessly created. And, the most important aspect of all is that the individual has total control of the privacy of the information stored within the Healthcheques app on their portable device. There is no data stored on any other remote server, only on the portable device. The Healthcheques app is the perfect ‘companion’ for individuals or families travelling.

The design of the Healthcheques app is simple and it has an index of categories that require either optional information or medical data input. Privacy can be achieved by a password setting to open each category so that the level of access can be controlled by personal choice to a level of normal viewing when the app is open, or to a private level, which would require a password control.

As technology moves towards an electronic medical filing system within the healthcare industry, the ability to send information from a personal portable device eliminates the need to manually complete paperwork and forms at a time when someone is feeling unwell or unable to write with a pen. The benefit of exporting or sending the information directly from a portable device means that this requirement of manual writing is no longer necessary.

The mission of Healthcheques is to establish a global community and a network of people that can improve their health condition and minimize their health related expenses. In conjunction with a website, any news articles encourage and promote a healthier lifestyle. Supporting retail partners or health providers are given the opportunity to promote their products and services, and a ‘blog’ invites people to share their health related remedies and recoveries from illness. By registering and sharing the app with family members and friends an individual can receive a discount or benefit from a supporting retail partner, such as a pharmacy or health treatment provider. Any benefits received can then be stored in the ‘My Health Benefits’ category of the app, and are then easily accessible at a time of need.

The Healthcheques app is free to download for use as a personal diary, or reference tool. However, a premium upgrade version of the app offers many additional features that allows the individual to share and send or export any medical information when necessary.
