Folders
Families can create a folder for each family member. Information stored in the folders can be shared with each other. There’s no limit as to what number of folders you can create. Within each folder, users can store anything and everything, from basic personal information (e.g. name, address) to specialized medical-related data (insurance, immunizations, insurer directories, etc.).

Data and Record Management
HealtheTracks includes a wide range of data, allowing for detailed data input. There are pages for dental records, eye health records, sports physicals, lab test results, family history, and many more. Medications/prescriptions tab allows users to record all vital information, including medication list, uses of medicines, and dosage. If you have kids, there are also sections for growth charts, check-ups, immunizations and allergies, and more.



Read-Only Password
This feature lets you share your health history with others as you deem appropriate (e.g., medical staff during emergency care) without risking loss or alteration of records. Read-only password enables other users to view your files; they won’t be able to edit or add to the stored information. You can also change the password anytime.

Resources
The site includes links to a number of health authorities online including MedicinePlus, US Food Drug and Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Parenthood.
