Longitudinal Health Record
A complete timeline of one person's health across every provider, visit, lab, and wearable reading. The holy grail of personal health tech, and what Savva assembles automatically from fragmented sources.
From the episode “The Truth About Lying to Your Doctor”How founders on the podcast use it
A continuous, unified record of a patient's medical history across all providers and time periods — as opposed to the fragmented, institution-specific records most patients currently have. A patient may have three separate Epic instances at Stanford, UCSF, and Palo Alto Medical, each invisible to the others. A true longitudinal record integrates all of them and is the foundation of Diagnostic MD's whole-person approach.
