Just went to my Google store and downloaded the latest mobile application from the Ministry of Health! (Yes! I know…I am getting the “why did you do that!” stares from everyone) Well, it is because the HealthHub App offers one the ability to access your personal Health records, and the health records of your kids on the go. With everyone’s medical records available at the touch of a button, this application is a great resource that every family!

Having 3 kids, means that just looking after the physical and educational needs of our children is already a full time job.  If anyone was to ask me about my children’s detailed medical or immunization history, I would be pretty lost. All I can remember, is playing “doctor” with them, and helping them overcome the fear of medicine!

With so many medical histories and appointments to worry about, it would be great, If there is some form of free detailed assistance to help us parents. Currently, if information is needed, I look through the children’s  medical booklets, and flip through to pages to gather the information needed. The situation is worse, if I was being asked about my wife’s medical history, as we lived in a time where there are no medical booklets. 🙂  However, with the advent of technology things are changing.
