• Less risk if I have future issues peace of mind and ‘at ease’
• More inclined to visit doctor if required, because I can then see and review what has been put in the records (‘man thing’?!)
• Now feel that Physical Health is on a more equal footing with Financial Health
• Good foundation for the future & easy to access

• Have information available anywhere home and abroad with just 2 passwords!
How cool is that?
• A large percentage of the population have a suitable mobile phone
• Information about passwords can be stored under ICE or using an ICE app on
the lockscreen
• If someone steals the phone,
passwords can be changed
What is needed is for all the patient information to be joined up
• GP records
• My information (blood pressure, glucose levels, etc.)
• Inpatient information
• Outpatient information
• Information from other agencies
(social care, physiotherapy, chiropody etc)
• Information from carers and so on ……
• I’ve also been able to use an app for my phone which
generates an ECG reading
• I have emailed these readings to my cardiologist for
comment
• Great for occasional arrhythmias
