Pros: Doctor Global offers a 30-day free trial for users to try MyLife Health Record and MyLifeSaver and see if the products fit their needs. Your MyLife Health Record can be accessed 24/7 from anywhere in the world and using any web browser as long as you have an Internet connection. Members have the option of printing out the photo ID card instead of buying it. Never lose a health file even if you lose your medical card—Doctor Global automatically maintains an online backup of your health information. Doctor Global clinicians are available for online consultation. You can print the summary of your health record directly from your account page. MyLife services are also available to international users.

Cons: Membership fee is high compared to other PHRs on the market. Subscription fee is $2.50 per month or $30 a year. To get the MyLifeSaver photocard, you have to pay an additional $10. Health record presentation is very basic. There’s no moneyback guarantee offered.

The Bottomline: Doctor Global is a complete and secure health information management solution. High membership fee may turn off some potential customers, but people who want to be able to conveniently carry around their personal health information wherever they go will have peace of mind with Doctor Global’s MyLife Health Record and MyLifeSaver PHR tools.
