I followed a link from the article to a database of free and commercial software, but ran out of time to go further. |

Not libre, just gratis.

Thanks sander. The link I followed to a "database" turned up 2 free personal health record "tools". 1 is a web-based thing from the US government, described at: http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/ The other is gratis, for MS Windows or Palm OS: http://www.e-medtools.com/profilemd.html I'm going to poke around at LinuxMedNews. |

I found your thread through a Google Alert I run. What is your interest in PHR tools? |

The importance of keeping personal health records should be self-evident. Such information is too vital to be left to closed-source, secretive software. |

hello mab, why do you ask? |

My client is CapMed. Our current development focus is a .Net version of our PHR/PHK solution in addition to an Online PHR. The Online PHR (ReadOnly) solution will work with our current PHR which is based on Centura. By year end we will have a full Online PHR and our .Net PHR solutions. Yes, we (CapMed) developed the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital PHM and it is available free of charge. A cost is incurred by TJUM for each user. Distribution is intended for those who would be patients, but you can apply online and have a CD sent to you. CapMed also partners with MedicAlert to provide their E-HealthKey (medicalert.org). The benefits of a PHR are obvious to many, but patient portal confidence remains to be developed with a large percentage of the population. The PHR is a desktop client. The PHK/E-HealthKey is a (portable) USB device, and the Patient Portal is an added benefit for either of our solutions. Are you part of a larger effort or are you searching as individuals? Please let me know what other help I can provide.

This isn't FOSS news at all, though having copies of your own medical records is a long-overdue good idea. As near as I can tell, the Capmed software is not Free or open source, and it requires Windows. What a good idea- entrusting sensitive information to the buggiest, least-secure platform on the planet. It's an interesting thing to learn about, anyway. |

>What a good idea- entrusting sensitive information to the buggiest, least-secure platform on the planet. heh. Speaking of Sensitive information.... I work at a college and they have a HIPPA learning program that runs off CD (in windows of course). You "register" yourself to the software using ---- Your Name and Social Security Number! To login (once you've registered once), you enter your Social Security Number in a box, at which point it displays the associated name for you to make sure it's you before you continue on into the program itself. We (I and the CTO) were blown away by that when we set it up (of course we just set it up using a bogus name and number). Shouldn't a program teaching you about HIPPA laws be compliant itself? I shudder to think of someone having a keylogger infecting a system that runs that program in an environment where people actually use their real information. |

Where do people get this kind of trust? They get stabbed in the back, over and over and over, and the very next time the facilitator of the stabbing asks for another knife, they happily oblige. |
