Pros: A 90 day free trial offer allows users to decide whether Zweena is the right personal health manager for them. Zweena collects and organizes medical records from users, making it extremely easy to maintain.

Cons: A Microsoft Health Vault Account is necessary. Prices are quite high, but may be worth it for those with extensive health issues. Users must be aware that healthcare providers may charge additional per-page fees for reproducing medical records.

The Bottomline: ZHR is a fee-based, full service PHR that acquires and organizes medical records from multiple providers on a secure online website. The service can be expensive, but will be very helpful to those with complicated medical records.

Collection of Medical Records
Trained staff contact doctors to collect paper health records, consolidates the information, and converts the information to digital – to be stored in the Zweena Health Record. Users are connected to the record for immediate access at any time. Users may also select privacy settings to restrict access to only those with whom they wish to share information.

Trial Plan
A free trial period is offered for users to see how the PHR works before committing to a full-priced plan. The trial plan creates a single connection so that users may see how the system works. Users must provide accurate contact information, birth date, and last 4 digits of SSN to share the record with a provider. Users may add providers and community in the trial, but to connect members and providers and perform record collection, a fee-based plan must be purchased.

During the trial, the user may complete their health records, including personal information, insurance, emergency contacts, advance directives, employer information, and information about the current plan, payment details, and a link to manage the HealthVault account.

Each time a record is shared, the user may select the access level of the person, including full access, view and modify, or view only.

To link to a healthcare provider, the personal information must be completed and permission given to contact the selected provider either by phone or email. The provider will receive a notice regarding the user’s wish to share health records via Zweena and a response is expected. If no response is received within 30 days, a reminder will be sent.
