What is HiGS?

HiGS is a Health Information Gathering System designed to enable our health customers to assess their health and their health risk. Through our technology and your responses to our Histories, Assessments, and Body Systems, a Personal Health History (PHH) is created. This PHH is the sum of information that you have entered, providing an easy way to communicate your health issues, symptoms, and histories with your healthcare provider.

HiGS is designed to assist you with gathering information about yourself. It is entirely web-based, meaning there is no required software for you to install on your computer. This also means that you can access HiGS anytime, anywhere.

Pricing
Inquiries for pricing for corporations and organizations can be directed to Gerald L. Byrnes, CBDO and Vice President of Strategic Alliances at: inquiries@innerreach.com.

Components of HiGS   Baseline Health and HiGS
HiGS is comprised of three specialized fact-gathering systems, or engines. Each of these engines is designed to gather information in a particular way.   Your profile at age 20 will change at age 30. You may experience more changes in your health between the ages of 30 to 40 and it will be even different at 60. These baseline measures contribute to trends in your general health and are very useful for physicians when diagnosing.
