Personal Health Records (PHR)

Personal Health Records (PHR) are digital tools that allow individuals to manage and store their health information in one place. This can include details like medical history, medications, allergies, test results, and immunizations. PHRs empower patients to take control of their health by making it easier to share their information with healthcare providers, track their health over time, and make informed decisions about their care. Unlike medical records held by doctors or hospitals, PHRs are maintained by the individual, ensuring privacy and personal management of health data.
