Abstract

Digital tools like smartphone applications and wearable health devices support people to play a greater role in their own care and that of others. Personal health records (PHRs) allow users to store information about their health online, to view records held by healthcare services and to add their own information. PHRs have the potential to help people manage their well-being, improve patient care and provide new ways to offer care. This article describes the benefits that PHRs bring to healthcare, their challenges and the practical steps for establishing a PHR platform to connect neurologists with their patients, based on 4 years of PHR experience in our neurology unit.

期刊介绍： The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
