Medelinked Open Health Platform now features Medelinked Health Score

Medelinked has added the Medelinked Health Score to its secure mobile and online health platform that empowers people to take control of their health.

Demonstrated for the first time at the PCHA Connected Health Conference in Washington DC, the scores are delivered in real time and are based on individual weight, diet, nutrition, lifestyle, sleep and exercise. The data changes daily depending on the information that is entered or tracked from wearables.

To help people further manage their own and that of their families, Medelinked now features an enhanced web user interface, improving its clarity and making it easier to get key information and insights about individual health.

Managing all health data in one place helps individuals to securely track, monitor and improve their health and wellbeing, ensuring their latest health data is accessed and enabling the provision of the best-possible care.

Using Medelinked individuals are also able to create and securely store personal and family health profiles online, as well as locate healthcare specialists and connect and share their health records with a network of trusted health partners and providers, including doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, trainers, insurers, and clinical researchers.

The system also provides a scalable platform for device manufacturers to add value to their offerings, increase their range of services, and deepen customer engagement.

Patients’ medical records are held securely using the Medelinked Health Cloud system. The user has sole control over the information that is stored and whether they want any healthcare individual or organisation to view any part of their medical history.

The individual can also choose any information they would like to store in a password-protected Emergency Records area, which a chosen family member or colleague can immediately access in the event of an emergency.

What you can measure you can manage and that’s why we’ve introduced Medelinked Health Score to `nudge` people to make a difference every day

Ian Gallifant, Medelinked founder and chief executive, said: "We are now seeing a dramatic shift in healthcare - individuals have a heightened interest in their own wellbeing and its maintenance and are increasingly interacting with personal technology to manage their lives, leading to reduced healthcare costs and increased workplace productivity.

“What you can measure you can manage and that’s why we’ve introduced Medelinked Health Score to `nudge` people to make a difference every day.

“Of course, this starts with health information being stored in an easily-accessible and clear way and providing people with the ability to add to their records and share information easily with the healthcare professionals they locate and choose - to ensure the best advice is given based on previous history, wherever they are around the world.

“Adding Medelinked Health Score to the host of apps, sensors and devices that integrate with Medelinked ensures customers are in control of their health and personal, portable electronic health records are the way forward for improved healthcare and better outcomes in the future.”
