Create your own independent Electronic Health Record (iEHR)

eHealth or mHealth is considered  to be the next big 'thing' after the social networks. Apple, Samsung, Google and Microsoft and many industries like Philips, Siemens and Samsung are trying to gain advantage but they are as slow and inflexible as they are rich, big and powerful. Forced by a fierce competition among them they create a well-designed web and strong media presence first, promising heaven and then start filling in the gaps. Often they repeat this 'trick' with just a new design, suggesting everything is new and improved.

Influenced by the speeding technologies, business models vaporize while we are watching. Brand new ones evolve, many with the same promises in a different color and packing.
At first glance the market shows an impressive quantity of players and indicates at the same time something is wrong in the eHealth industry. Many millions are invested in thousands of eHealth apps of which 99% are no more than gadgets. Each maybe useful for a specific group of people for a while, but very few have a real lasting future. The real 'management capabilities' of most gadgets vary from unreliable to poor and to insufficient. These facts start to drip into the investor's mindset as they monitor unsustainable growth and low advertising revenues from such apps on smartphones. More and more of such experiences manifest and reluctance grows to keep investing in 'short lived' apps.

The words mHealth and eHealth attract a lot of attention but very few people are prepared to study such an application in more depth if its content and features are getting more complex. For magazines and professional publications it is much more convenient to write about  'shiny' gadgets than to investigate, study, present and discuss complex applications with professionals for their subscribers.
The eHealth bubble is already building. However, the next 'eHealth success story' is in the making, waiting to get noticed.

Heart conditions, Diabetes, Hypertension and cancer are the most common under the chronic diseases from which about 20% or 1,500.000.000 of the world population are suffering. Tendency: increasing.

Most individuals are tempted to use free or paid-for 'gadgets' that do not really contribute to a better health or result in effective communication with their physicians. Physicians cannot keep track of the data coming in from hundreds or even thousands of different apps. with little or no benefits. Motivation on both sides is missing .....
With quality governance and support, especially the quality of life for the elderly can be preserved or improved significantly, while at the same time making health care costs more predictable for the patient at home, for physicians and for hospitals while saving costs for all parties involved.

How is MWD® making a difference?

MWD Health Manager iEHR includes hospital and home based strategies to optimize the management of chronic and other diseases that require permanent or temporary non-ambulant monitoring. A development we started more than 12 years ago with a PC version, 6 years later with Windows Mobile 6. Why it took so long? Windows let us down and only for the last 3 years Android smartphones were equipped with enough 'power' to handle the complex data and communication structures with our back-end servers. The server side software had to be redesigned adapting to the current and future smartphone capabilities.
