People living with chronic illness find it highly demanding to navigate their healthcare, impacting their recovery.

Health practitioners and carers require understanding and connection to provide quality care and achieve better health outcomes for those living with chronic illnesses.

Using My Health Story can help patients avoid the distress that comes with health management. It can also help prevent misdiagnosis and help practitioners and carers provide a higher quality of care by better understanding the lived experience.

How My Health Story can help patients

Using My Health Story can help patients:

  • keep their information safe and private
  • keep information accessible and on-hand 24/7
  • investigate if an appointment is required and save the expense of doctor switching
  • form an introduction to upcoming appointments
  • avoid the ‘start over’ frustration of repeated tests, treatments and medications
  • avoid forgetting information and instead help with remembering
  • avoid fragmented information that comes with seeing different treaters
  • keep information accurate and up-to-date
  • make sure all information is available at every appointment
  • make appointments more efficient
  • keep preparatory notes for upcoming appointments and share them ahead of time
  • connect treaters to patients more easily
  • provide a more thorough understanding of the lived experience
  • restore independence and a feeling of control
  • provide an easy-to-read summary of important information
  • feel encouraged and empowered
  • become their own advocates – a requirement of chronic health management
  • feel confident about their health management again
  • visualise characteristics, symptoms and life impact
  • validate their lived experience
  • provide a place for all the niggling thoughts and passing events
  • document whether the health team is paying attention
  • provide a way to track treatment/s,
  • and so much more.

My Health Story is a place to keep track of all things chronic health management. It also forms support and a way for practitioners and carers to aim for the best possible health outcomes.
