A medical doctor from the south of Spain has had a good idea: to access the Keyose personal health record with a iPhone (or other mobile devices). The simple design of Keyose makes this mobile access easy and convenient. With Keyose your doctors or paramedics can access your medical information no matter where you are.
We have heard of a new and interesting use of Keyose. We are proud of having some really active and innovative users that found new ways of using the Keyose service.
That is the case we report today. A rural primary care doctor from USA is using Keyose to obtain second opinions about some of their patients. With the previous authorization of their patients she writes the medical history and the results of test in the Keyose platform. Afterwards she send the keyose login and public password to the specialist so they can see and discuss the medical record at the same time.
There are several new tools that provides doctors with the opportunity of consulting other physicians to obtain second opinions. Esanum is a good example (with divisions in Spain, Germany and other countries). Keyose could be a perfect complement to those “second opinion searching” internet services.
It’s Christmas time; the family time. So I am specially glad to know the case of a grandfather that has decided to sign up all his family (including his grandchildren) in Keyose.
The ages of life where we need more healthcare, and the help of our caregivers to manage our clinical information, are the first years (a fundamental time for our physical and mental development) and the old age. Who will take care of us better than our closer relatives?
In that sense we like a lot the idea of parents being able to use Keyose for the management of the personal health records (vaccines, height and weight and so on) of their children. We are working on that way rigth now.
We send a warn greeting to the first Keyose family!
I love to read emails from real patients that find benefits from Keyose tool. We have received an email from John’s father (fictional name), a 10 years old child that unfortunately suffers from Primary Hyperoxaluria.
Primary Hyperoxaluria is a congenit disease of genetic origin. Due to a problem in the metabolism the patients have high levels of oxalic acid in urine. This leads to the formation of renal calculus and finally the early loss of both kidneys. In the long time deposits of oxalic acid are formed in other body parts as liver and heart producing added problems.
Unfortunately the Juan’s disease has not known treatment, although somethings have been proved (as B6 vitamin or double liver-kidney transplant) with variable results.
Moreover it is a rare disease in the world, so Juan must be visited by different specialists and sometimes travel to be treated by doctors from other countries.
Juan’s parents have found in Keyose a way to store the most relevant data of their son’s medical record and a way to support the job of his doctors.
They have asked us to improve Keyose so they can add some images (as X-rays or CTs) that are so important in the management of a chronic and complex disease as the Juan’s one.
We are currently working on, in order to improve the quality of live of Juan and his family. These are the things that give a sense to this project!
We would like to thank Juan’s family for their support and their permission to comment his case on the Keyose blog.
