HHS.gov Editor’s Rating:

For those wanting a tool for recording and tracking familial health and medical conditions, My Family Health Portrait by HHS.gov is an easy-to-use tool. The downside is the lack of PHR features. This program is simply for tracking conditions, not maintaining health records.

Humetrix U-BeWell Editor’s Rating:

This PHR system is not publicly available. Stand alone and web-based applications may be used to organize data. While users may not preview the software, it is a definite positive that it is available for desktop, smart card, USB or web-enabled cell phones.

iHealthRecord Editor’s Rating:

If you are looking for a solution that would allow you to store yours as well as the health record information of your family, iHealthRecord may just be the right tool you are looking for. Being a system that is integrated with Google Health, iHealthRecord is an apt choice for anyone who is already using Google Health.

iPHER Editor’s Rating:

Without screenshots or samples, it is impossible to evaluate the interface of iPHER. The cost is quite high and future renewal costs are vague. The device is completely portable and compatible with Windows OS so that data should be accessible via any computer using Windows.

ItRunsInMyFamily.com Editor’s Rating:

ItRunsinMyFamily.com is a mapping tool for family history purposes and is quite confusing. Potential users could record data much more easily in a word processing table.

iValley Editor’s Rating:

A very detailed PHR, iValley provides users with the ability to enter multiple profiles and use many features to monitor and enhance health. The interface is user friendly, but slightly overwhelming.

Keas Editor’s Rating:

Keas is a free PHR tool that has a very fast signup process. Interface is user-friendly with an appealing appearance. Plans are assigned from user-added data. Plans have streams similar to forums for information sharing. Data may be imported from Google Health or Microsoft Health Vault.

KIS Medical Records Editor’s Rating:

For a rather large fee, users can have KIS collate medical records from multiple sources on their secure site. The data may be accessed by phone, fax, or computer in an emergency. Without a free trial, potential users cannot test the program to see if it works for them.

Lifeclinic.com Editor’s Rating:

Lifeclinic.com offers a free secure PHR, however equipment sales appear to be the primary goal of the site.

LifeOnKey Editor’s Rating:

There are many plans and options on LifeOnKey, but all are quite costly. With the plethora of low cost and free PHRs, potential users should consider all options. There is no free trial option for users to test out the interface prior to investing in one of the available plans.

LifeSensor Editor’s Rating:

LifeSensor is a fee-based PHR for maintaining medical information on a secure, online website. The cost is somewhat high if utilizing the service for a family and renewal is automatic if users do not formally withdraw. The interface is easy to use and comprehensive.

Lifespan Editor’s Rating:

Lifespan is an incredibly expensive PHR option. While there are multiple options available, the cost may be prohibitive for many potential users. Those looking at this PHR should investigate all alternatives thoroughly and consider the additional costs that may be incurred within each plan.

LynxCare Editor’s Rating:

For a patient dealing with a complex medical condition that requires professional assistance in collating information, reviewing for consistency, and education regarding conditions, Lynxcare offers a valuable service. The downside is the unclear fee schedule. While costs are reported to start at $500, this is not confirmed on the website. Prospective patients must contact Lynxcare to obtain individual cost information.
