What a thrilling two days at the Digital Health Festival 2024 (DHF) at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre! Soula and Theo Mantalvanos, founder and director of My Health Story (MHS), attended the event after being short-listed for the extraordinary opportunity of a booth in the Start-Up Arena. DHF is where 7,000 people whose primary interests and work are in healthcare and progressing the industry through innovation. In short, the DHF is the ultimate place for health-inspired ideas. In the first few hours, it became apparent that the idea of individuals self-managing their health information and coordinating their care was no longer foreign—the DHF audience was well-versed on the topic and eager for a tool to help them better arm and/or understand their patients and clients.
The Digital Health Festival 2024 (DHF24) is just days away, and the My Health Story (MHS) team is getting ready to meet the health industry's movers and shakers. Will you be there? The event is 90% sold out. The DHF24 is all about the future of healthcare – that's why we're there. As a start-up, MHS is there to present to the healthcare industry and meet possible partners. What is MHS looking for specifically? MHS wants to meet with leaders interested in patient-centred care and patient empowerment. To meet with groups, services, and employees in the healthcare industry that can implement MHS into healthcare, and by that, we mean:

My Health Story (MHS) has seen many growth spurts in its start-up time. Today we release yet another! MHS is thrilled to introduce a new subscription package for users who want to use MHS more 'litely'. Enter MHS Lite! We learned that not everyone required their information to sync between the MHS website and handheld devices. Not everyone was necessarily interested in keeping lengthy details, so we narrowed down the main areas of MHS [...]
My Health Story founder, Soula Mantalvanos, was recently invited to share her valuable expertise for GP training, once again highlighting the significance of lived experience for chronic pain management education. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) GP training session, ‘An approach to non-cancer pain,’ was hosted by Dr Paul Grinzi on Wednesday, 15 November 2023, in Melbourne. Soula’s 20-minute presentation included details of her 4.5-year medical odyssey that led to her chronic illness – one she believes could have been completely avoided with educational training sessions such as the one she was presenting at. Soula began her presentation by stating the vision and mission that have driven her advocacy and to becoming the founder of pudendalnerve.com.au and My Health Story: Understanding the unique lived experience is critical to tailored care and relieving the global burden of disease.
My Health Story founder, Soula Mantalvanos, has offered some helpful tips since beginning her advocacy in 2011 and launching pudendalnerve.com.au. We've collated some of Soula's most popular blogs on easing the pressure when sitting and travelling and included her most recent discovery about the effects of inflammation, which is proving to be a critical factor in helping with the management of any chronic health issue.
The Hurting Strings, an award-winning documentary was created by Australian filmmaker Peter Lamont in 2014 and has had thousands of views resonating with so many people living with invisible illness. It is a little sad that the film still has so much meaning, in fact, it's still relevant so many years later. I truly wish it wasn't.
