Q: How does Health Screening Tracker make it easier to track my screenings compared to EMR systems?
A: Health Screening Tracker provides a more user-friendly and at-a-glance view of your health screenings:
EMR systems often scatter information across different sections, making it difficult to get a quick overview. For example:
Immunization records might be in one area, with separate cards for each formula of a vaccine (like flu shots).
Blood work results are often mixed with other test results, making it hard to quickly find specific screenings like lipid panels.
Our app consolidates all screening information in one place, clearly showing:
Which screenings are overdue
When your last screening was
If the next one is due
Unlike EMRs, which may not clearly indicate if you're overdue for a screening, our app highlights this information prominently.
We provide a simple, checklist-style interface that's easy to review quickly, unlike the often complex and data-heavy EMR interfaces.
Our app allows you to track screenings from multiple providers in one place, which most EMRs can't do.
Data Privacy and Security
Q: Is my health data secure in Health Screening Tracker?
A: Yes, we take your privacy and data security very seriously. All your health data is encrypted and stored securely on your device, not on remote servers.
Using the App
Q: How do I download the app?
A: You can download the Health Screening Tracker app from the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play Store for Android devices.
Q: Can I customize my screening schedule?
A: Yes, you can add custom screenings or adjust frequencies based on your preferences or family history. This allows you to have agency over your own health management.
