Did you know that you have a right to your medical records? Under HIPAA, healthcare providers are required to transfer copies of patient records within a certain time frame.
While this is great news for patients, your challenges don’t end there. Comprehending the complex data within medical records is easier said than done, but the DrOwl app offers a solution.
If your healthcare provider has a patient portal, you can create an account and access personal medical data online. You may also receive records digitally via email, or in rare cases, through the regular mail.
Accessing your medical data is crucial for a few reasons. Because most records contain errors, reviewing them helps patients identify inaccuracies in a timely manner. The info contained in your records can also help you make smarter choices.
Even with easy access to your health records, comprehending the data can still be challenging. That’s exactly why we created DrOwl, as our app goes a step beyond patient portals.
Our medical-language AI was built to translate complex records—including biopsy reports, hospital discharges, and lab test results—into clear, easy-to-understand language. Patients can also securely share their records with others, such as loved ones and caregivers.
