My Health Story Helping with Stroke Rehabilitation
My Health Story (MHS) helped 76-year-old Helen Sharam* work with her physiotherapist immediately after an overwhelmed hospital system moved Mrs Sharam from rehabilitation to home too quickly.

My Health Story is Now Live
Hello from the rebranded PainTrain My Health Summary – now known as, My Health Story (MHS). I couldn't be more thrilled to be writing this post after a very big few months of rebranding and redevelopment. But it's not over yet with the MHS App still a couple of weeks away. Like most magnificent leaps and bounds, the transition from PainTrain My Health Summary (PainTrain MHS) to MHS found the team stumbling on some administrative complexities... and, we do expect a couple more bumps – but we are mostly there! So what do you need to do?
