Pros: WakefieldSoft HealthFile is a personal health record tool optimized for display on mobile devices. There is a broad range of smartphones and PCs covered, including Windows PC, Android phones, Palm, iPhone, iPod and Blackberry. The user interface is clean and compact, resulting in a fast operational speed. Online backup of files is available; even if you lose or damage your mobile device, your personal health information remains. Monthly membership fee is less than a dollar, and one application lets you store multiple profiles. Because your medical data is stored in a cloud, you can access it from any place where an Internet connection is available. Multiple subscription options allow potential members to choose a plan that best fits their budget. A free software demo allows users to try out the application before purchase. A 14-day free trial is also available.

Cons: While WakefieldSoft HealthFile Live allows you to access your files from anywhere, the design is not suited for emergency situations. You need to have enough disk space in your smartphone or computer to accommodate the software.

The Bottomline: WakefieldSoft HealthFile is a low-cost, web-based PHR option for mobile users. There are multiple apps and subscriptions available, depending on the device you use and your personal budget. Capacity for multiple profiles allows people to keep track of their health and their family.
