According to a story from news-medical.net, the new Evergreen Life health and medicines app could be a major benefit for patients across the UK, particularly patients with rare, chronic diseases and conditions that benefit from close monitoring. The app will allow patients to record valuable health data like blood pressure, or set reminders for when you will need to take your medications next.
Empowering Patients
Evergreen Life can also be valuable for allowing patients to keep track of their overall wellbeing, and tracks metrics such as weight, fitness, and overall health. With this information, patients will no longer have to feel stuck relying on physicians for understanding different aspects of their health state.
Comprehensive Record At Your Fingertips
Another incredible aspect of the Evergreen Life app is the personal health record. This record is drawn from official GP medical records. You are able to share it with whoever you please, and it is also available for download. You can even order prescription refills and make appointments with this section of the app. This is the one place where a patient can look over their comprehensive medical history, as this data does not exist anywhere else as a complete whole.
More Effective Appointments
Patients can also record information about the medications that they are using. The app is truly giving patients a real opportunity to have more control over their medical health than ever before. Even in person appointments will be impacted, because Evergreen Life allows patients to come into a doctor’s visit well-informed and prepared to ask the questions necessary to ensure quality care.
It is also possible to cancel an appointment through the app. Having your health record in your pocket can also help reduce the need for redundant appointments. Need to get your vitamin D levels checked? Now you can go straight to the pharmacy instead of having to go to the doctor for a referral.
Putting Patients in Control
As an app that is directly integrated with the UK’s NHS, Evergreen Life can offer a lot of benefits for patients who want to have as much control over their medical treatment and overall experience as possible. The app makes things easier for physicians themselves also. So far, over 500,000 people are using the app. Click here to learn more info.
