A New Way to Track Your Family’s Health History: MyFamilyHealth.com
July 2008
Healthbolt: Most of us know the importance of being familiar with our family’s health history. In fact, there is nary a doctor’s office visit where we’re not grilled on the diseases/afflictions that run through our gene pool.
But sometimes it’s hard to remember it all, and sometimes we just don’t know all there is to know about Gram and Gramps, right?
Well now there may be a viable solution: MyFamilyHealth.com.
From the company, here are some of the benefits:
MyFamilyHealth.com is the most advanced online family health history tracking tool and compliant with the latest recommendations from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
The site addresses the key problems of how to effectively gather, organize and analyze this information, making it easier than ever before.
It will cost nothing except your time.
You can create a rich, evolving and medically useful record with your family, for your family.
You’ll discover and learn about the health problems that run in your family, including conditions that might not otherwise be considered by your physician.
You’ll discover if you or your family members could benefit from specific diagnostic, genetic or screening tests.
You’re able to join an online community and share information with others who have the same health interests as you (coming soon).
You’ll help your physician to help you: share your family health history with your physician and receive better guidance to delay, improve or even prevent bad health.
You may import your family tree from genealogy sites like geni.com and ancestry.com.
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? MyFamilyHealth.com states that they’re constantly looking to improve their website and value all feedback. If you give it a try, do let us know what you think.
