Studies show taking a careful history and having comprehensive histories are more important than a physical exam in a doctor office to detect risk, diagnose disease, and prevent disease and trouble. [1] [2] Health histories have no central place where you can find them. What does exist, most likely does not contain the full story of your important health information.
With HiGS, your History is comprehensive, all in one place, interactive, accessible, and retrievable. You control it.
Comprehensive accurate histories are needed to identify risk, make diagnoses, and save time, suffering, and money. Time constraints reduce opportunities for accurate and more comprehensive histories to be collected by physicians and other healthcare professionals. Their time costs money. Knowledge of history can save suffering. HiGS meets these needs.
Most histories are taken verbally during a physician-patient conversation. Verbal histories become confused distorted contaminated and forgotten. Comprehensive health histories are the big missing piece needed for efficient and quality care. HiGS helps you collect your own health history, enabling you to have access to it anytime for any need. HiGS places you in the center of the health process.
Preventive care needs this different type of tracking, education, and focus that HiGS technology provides. HiGS does two main things: 1) it provides a way for you to collect your history yourself, control your results, identify risks, and get educated to fix problem areas in which risks occur; and 2) print, fax, or electronically share your Personal Health History (PHH) - which is your HiGS results report - with family members and healthcare professionals as you wish.
