Taking Care

As a senior, you know how important your comprehensive medical history is
to your healthcare providers -- and how this information can help you lead a fuller lifestyle.

By keeping track of your health on PHDtoGo, you or your primary caretaker
may be able to aid your physicians in their diagnosis and treatment plan. And PHDtoGo makes it easy to track conditions including:
  • chronic ailments needing constant attention e.g. heart problems, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, or memory lapses
  • accidents, such as fainting, losing balance or falling
  • surgical procedures
  • emotional concerns, including depression or anxiety
Managing Your Medications

If you're taking medications for several different conditions, you'll find that keeping track of them on PHDtoGo has important benefits:
  • You can list the medications -- including natural supplements -- all your
    healthcare providers have prescribed. This may minimize harmful drug interactions.
  • You, or your primary caretaker, can record your medication dosage and
    schedule, reducing the chance of forgetting or confusing what to take and
    when.
In case you need to see a specialist, you'll have quick access to your detailed
medical history on PHDtoGo. You won't have to rely on your memory, and
you'll reduce the possibility of forgetting critical details of your health
condition. Should you move, or decide to change physicians, you'll always
have access to your comprehensive health diary.

Tracking Your Weight

As a senior, it is particularly important to maintain a steady weight. Sudden,
unexplained gains or losses may indicate that an underlying disease, such as
diabetes or cancer, needs to be investigated. By monitoring your weight on
PHDtoGo, you may notice any unusual fluctuations, and can detail these
changes for your physician.

With PHDtoGo, you can also keep track of any problems you may notice with
your bowel movements, such as constipation or diarrhea. This can help your
doctor diagnose the cause, and prescribe the proper medication and dosage
that may ease your discomfort.

Reducing the Risks

When you grow older, your lifestyle may put you at a higher risk of developing
heart disease or having a stroke. By monitoring your blood pressure regularly,
and keeping a record of your readings on PHDtoGo, you might become aware
of any warning signs before they develop into a serious condition.

Should you decide to start an exercise program, PHDtoGo's special exercise
forms will help you and your doctor monitor your progress. This will allow you
to decide how much, and what kind of exercise, is best for you.

With PHDtoGo, you can also note your doctors' appointments and test dates,
as well as record test results and precautions.

Taking Care

You may wish to involve your children, other relatives or caregivers in your
healthcare decisions. With PHDtoGo's password-protected application, you
have the option of giving them access to your health information.

And in an emergency, authorized medical personnel will be able to use your
Emergency Card to access your password-protected Emergency Page. This
page contains crucial medical information, should you be incapacitated or
unable to recall important details about your medical history. Your Emergency Card and Emergency Page could even save your life.



PHDtoGo will be available for general release in the near future.
