Galen Patient Informatics
Galen is getting ready to launch what looks like a fantastic new product that makes it easy to keep all of your medical information together. I really could have used something like this for my pregnancy, which, being “high risk” involved seeing a group of four midwives, an OB (and not the one who sectioned me...I’d never met him before), a perinatologist, my primary care doctor, and a nurse...sometimes all in the same week. Most of them wanted to know what the others said and what my last blood pressure elsewhere was, and by the end I was having a heck of a time keeping it all straight. And compared to what someone with truly complex problems goes through, that was nothing. Which I suppose is an anecdotal way of saying that I figure there’s a huge market for this sort of thing, and I hope that it does as well as it seems to me it ought.
