Today's healthcare system is plagued by fragmentation, inefficiency, and barriers that prevent optimal patient care. Here is a story of Simon.
Simon, now in his 70s, has always visited his local hospital. All his records sit in physical files there. During his latest visit, he’s prescribed more medication, but the information never leaves that hospital’s walls.
Months later, Simon visits a cardiology specialist at another hospital. They cannot see his past history. Without the full picture, the doctor prescribes new medications, adding to Simon’s growing list.
A year later, Simon needs surgery at a third hospital. Again, none of his records follow him. The hospital has no access to his general or cardiology records. After the surgery, even more prescriptions are added to his already complex regimen.
Discharge day is exhausting. Simon spends more than four hours shuttling between departments, collecting paperwork, invoices, and discharge notes before he can finally leave the hospital.
Fresh from surgery, Simon still has to stand in line at the hospital pharmacy to pay for and collect his medicines, a draining ordeal for someone just out of the operating room.
Simon now has prescriptions from three different doctors. Each has its own instructions. Sorting through them daily is overwhelming, and without support, he feels anxious and unsure if he’s taking the right medicines at the right times. Keeping track of inventory is challenging too.
Simon spends days collecting and collating paper invoices for his insurance claim post surgery. Because everything is on paper, he has no choice but to do it alone, a tedious and frustrating process.
Simon has been asked to record his blood pressure and other vitals regularly. He does so diligently, but only in a simple notebook, disconnected from his doctors, family or caregivers.
Simon’s son Peter, living in another city, worries constantly: Is his father taking the right medicines and in time? Are his medicines running low? Are his vitals within safe limits? The doctors from different hospitals are also left in the dark. With no shared visibility, there’s no chance for early intervention if something goes wrong. Peter feels helpless, and Simon feels alone.
Every person, everywhere, with a safe, trusted, free, and universal health record for a better patient outcome. See how it helps Simon.
Simon stores his entire health history safely in his World Health Record app. When he visits his local hospital, the doctors instantly access his past consultations, test results, and prescriptions. New medications are added seamlessly, no files, no confusion.
Months later, Simon visits a cardiologist at another hospital. Without repeating tests or filling forms, the cardiologist reviews Simon’s complete record and prescribes new medications, which are updated in his World Health Record app.
A year later, Simon requires surgery at a third hospital. Even here, doctors access his full medical history instantly. The surgery goes smoothly, and new prescriptions are added to his World Health Record app, keeping everything in one place.
While Simon recovers, his app takes care of the rest, invoices, insurance coordination, discharge notes, and updated prescriptions. What used to be a stressful process is now fully automated through World Health Record app.
Back home, Simon simply sends his prescriptions to his preferred pharmacy through the app. Within hours, his medications are delivered while he continues to rest and recover. His inventory is updated automatically.
Simon now has prescriptions from three different doctors. Instead of confusion, he feels confident. Each morning, the World Health Record app gives him a clear, personalised list of exactly which medicines to take and when. When he takes his medicines, inventory is updated automatically.
All of Simon’s invoices are securely stored in his app. With a single click, he reviews and forwards them directly to his insurance company, saving time, effort, and endless paperwork.
Simon measures his blood pressure and other vitals regularly. His wearable devices sync automatically with the app, building a continuous, reliable record of his health trends.
Simon’s son, Peter, lives in another city. Yet every day he knows his father is taking the right medicines and that his vitals are normal. He is kept informed when medicines are running low. Doctors across hospitals are also informed. If anything looks concerning, family and doctors can step in early. Simon feels supported, connected, and never alone.
