personal health records (PHRs)

Personal Health Records (PHRs) are digital tools that allow individuals to securely store and manage their health information, such as medical history, medications, allergies, test results, and appointments. They enable users to access and share their health data with healthcare providers as needed, improving communication and care coordination. PHRs help individuals stay informed about their health, make better decisions, and participate actively in their healthcare. They can be maintained online through dedicated apps or platforms and are designed to be a comprehensive, centralized resource for personal health management.
