“…Another study showed that patients wanted to improve the doctor-patient relationship by actively using PHRs [25]. However, thus far, PHRs themselves are facing a huge barrier to continuous development [5,26,27]. There have been many studies conducted to improve PHRs [16,18,28,29], yet only a few studies have been conducted in which patients used the self-administered features of EMR-tethered PHRs, which can enable shared health care and patient-centered practice.…”

“…Compared with a standalone PHR, higher-quality and objective information can be provided by an EMR-tethered PHR. In addition, this type of system can process hospital data in diverse formats and can provide the data directly to the patients [5]. However, patients may lack initiative to manage their medical information actively if they are only given information that is automatically generated by the EMR, and if they are not provided with perceptive value to use PHRs [3].…”

BackgroundThe tethering of a personal health record (PHR) to an electronic medical record (EMR) may serve as a catalyst in accelerating the distribution of integrated PHRs. Creating shared health records for patients and their health care professionals using self-administered functions of EMR-tethered PHRs is crucial to support sustainable use of the system.ObjectiveThis study assesses the factors related to active use of a self-administered function (Health Notes) in an EMR-tethered PHR (Health4U) in a tertiary academic hospital.MethodsThis research is a cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary academic hospital in South Korea. The enrollees included adults aged 19 years and older with experience accessing Health4U in the 13-month period after June 2013. The primary outcome was the adoption of Health Notes in accordance with the number of chronic diseases. Socio-demographic variables were included as confounding factors.ResultsSubjects 71 years of age and older were less likely to become active users of Health Notes than those 30 years and younger. Moreover, compared with men, women had 44% and 40% lower tendencies to become Health Notes users and active users, respectively. Those who accessed the desktop page and/or mobile page had higher tendencies to become users of Health Notes. We found a consistent increase in the odds ratio as the number of chronic diseases increased in the active users. When considering specific diseases, patients who had cancer or chronic kidney disease had higher tendencies to become users of Health Notes.ConclusionsPatients with a greater number of chronic diseases tended to use PHR more actively, and used the self-administered function. Women and the elderly may have lower tendencies to actively use PHR. Therefore, items specific to the health of each demographic—women, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases—should be carefully considered to support sustainable use of PHRs.

“…In the first, Genitsaridi et al [8] take a forensic look at the usability and functionality requirements satisfied by 25 existing PHR systems identified through a search of the international literature. They begin by aligning the PHR concept with the role of the patient as the manager of their health information, whilst acknowledging that other models also exist.…”

“…The advancements in healthcare practice led to an increasing of the demand for electronic health systems also known as eHealth systems [9]. Personal Health Records (PHRs) aims to provide the patient with the ability to safely and confidentially access, manage and share their health information [11]. PHRs supply patients and healthcare providers with a complete summary of patient's health history and empower patients to have a more active role on their own health, to improve their health literacy with complete and accurate health information, to better communicate with their healthcare providers and to practice preventive self-care routines [7,11].…”

Pregnancy is a period of changes. With all the information available and all the questions raised, it may also be an overwhelming period. Mobiles phones might be a solution for pregnant women to follow their pregnancy through Electronic Maternity Records (EMR). Therefore, this paper aims to propose an EMR to help women during their pregnancy. Firstly, the importance of Personal Health Records (PHRs) as well as mHealth is overviewed. Secondly, the types of mobile apps are presented with their pros and cons and the concept of Progressive Web App (PWA) is introduced. In order to understand the features that pregnancy mobile apps are now offering and the ones they are missing, eight apps are analysed. Lastly, the features and architecture of the proposed EMR are described and discussed. Since PWAs are a recent technology and a promising alternative to the three classic types of mobile development, it is also the technology used to develop the proposed EMR.
