Guides written so you understand and keep your health in order
Clear, verifiable explanations of the digital medical record, lab results, medications, standards such as HL7 FHIR, and your rights over your medical data. No jargon, no scare stories.
The International Patient Summary (IPS): what it is, what it contains and how to get yours
The IPS is the standard document a doctor who has never seen you, anywhere in the world, can read in seconds: allergies, medications, conditions, vaccinations. Exactly what it contains, who uses it and how to get it from your record.
MedicationsYour medication list: how to keep it right and why it matters for interactions
A complete, up-to-date medication list is the cheapest safety tool you have. What it must contain, why the active substance matters more than the brand name on the box, how interactions are checked and how to share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
StandardsWhat FHIR is and why it matters for your medical record
HL7 FHIR is the standard in which hospitals, apps and authorities exchange medical data. Explained plainly: what a resource is, why “yours” means “exportable”, and how to tell an app that really uses it from one that only mentions it.
Your medical recordThe digital medical record: what it is, what belongs in it and how to keep it in order
What a digital medical record (personal health record) is, how it differs from a hospital's electronic record, what it should contain and how to build yours step by step, so it is with you when it matters.
Your rightsYour medical data in the European Union: GDPR, EHDS and the rights you actually have
What European law says about your health data: what “special category” means under the GDPR, what the European Health Data Space (EHDS) brings from 2025, when each right applies and how to use them concretely with hospitals, laboratories and apps.
DevicesApple Health and Health Connect: what they are, which data flows through them and how it reaches your record
Steps, heart rate, sleep and weight from your watch and phone live in Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android). What these two platforms are, what syncs, who sees what, and how your data becomes part of your medical record rather than numbers in an app.
Lab resultsHow to read your lab results and keep them in order, year after year
What the reference range means, why “outside normal values” does not mean illness, how to compare results from different laboratories and how to keep them so you see the trend, not a single number. A practical guide, not a textbook.
AI and healthAI and your medical record: what it can do, what it cannot, and how to use it without putting your data at risk
AI assistants can explain a lab report, summarise a 200-page record and prepare your questions for the doctor. They cannot diagnose and do not deserve your data without rules. What works, what does not, what to ask before giving access, and what an AI that respects your record looks like.
