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?

The PainTrain My Health Summary team is thrilled to announce they will be rebranding to My Health Story. Keep reading because there are more announcements about the new website as well as a subscription offer of a lifetime... The consumer survey distributed to PainTrain MHS Advisory members, subscribers, and followers formed a clear decision to rename the health summarising resource to My Health Story. At close second was My Health History. In addition, the survey results indicated the much-needed requirement for an App version of the resource and more functionality for Affiliates and subscribers seeking more straightforward ways to access and include health information from their GPs. The development work has begun behind the scenes, and a new website is forming – we'll keep you up to date! BUT we also need a little support if we're going to make it to the blaring request for a My Health Story App. We've got an offer of a lifetime. Keep reading! (Can't wait to hear our offer of a lifetime? Bursting to support us? Then hit it!)
Digital storytelling is an emerging tool for sharing and recording lived experiences and may have the potential to support well-being but is yet to be systematically reviewed for use among older adults.
The brain does not have to make a “decision” as to how we should perceive the sound. But whether we interpret that loud sound as thunder, a car backfiring, a cannon firing, or as a bomb exploding is a matter of perception. We can always check and find out whether our interpretation is correct. Thus, we may be mistaken about the cause of activation of the auditory (“hearing”) apparatus but, to reiterate, we cannot be mistaken about the experience of having heard the sound. This sensation is “given” to us. The same can be said of pain. We are not mistaken when we experience pain. But we may come up with a number of different interpretations of the experience.
There’s quite detailed information about neurotransmitters like neuroscience. That could be interesting for research, but it might not be that relevant for the patient. That was the impetus for asking this question, “How do we make something more interesting to the person who is receiving it by asking them, ‘What is it that you value?'”

Opinion Leader Empowered Patients About the Era of Digital Health: a Qualitative Study Patient-centred medicine Authors: Bertalan Meskó, Nóra Radó, Zsuzsa Győrffy ‘The relationship e-patients have with their physicians is based on efficient communication, proactivity, the desire for asking questions and the use of technologies.
