Based on HIPAA, patients are free to request copies of their medical records from healthcare providers. Personal health data contains lots of insights and can help you manage your health and healthcare going forward.
Despite the value of health records, many patients struggle to understand them. That’s where DrOwl comes in. With our innovative health app, patients can better access—and comprehend—their personal health data.
Patient portals allow people to access their medical records digitally. If your provider uses a patient portal, you’ll be asked to create an account, at which point you’ll have access to your health data. Some clinics and hospitals may provide records via email, while others may send information over fax. While less common these days, some providers send health records via the regular mail after receiving a request.
Once you get a copy of your medical records, another challenge begins. Many people struggle to understand complex language within their healthcare histories, which can cause you to miss crucial insights.
DrOwl has a solution to this common problem. Our app not only offers easy access to personal health records, but it also explains information using a healthcare-focused AI. Because this technology is trained exclusively to interpret clinical documentation, patients can view simplified versions of their data.
