Digital Health Records
Your complete medical history in one secure, encrypted record — accessible to doctors with your consent, available in emergencies.
Overview
What is it?
Digital Health Records is your complete, permanent medical history stored securely on IDFlow. It includes diagnoses, prescriptions, lab results, radiology reports, vaccinations, allergies, chronic conditions, and treatment plans.
What does it do?
Doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies access your medical records with your consent via ConsentPass™. In emergencies, critical information is available through Emergency Scan™. You never carry physical files again.
Why was it created?
Medical records are fragmented across doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies. Patients carry physical files that get lost. Doctors make decisions without full history. IDFlow was created to unify medical records securely.
Who is it designed for?
Patients, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, radiology centres, and medical aids.
Current Industry Problems
Medical records are fragmented — each doctor and hospital has a separate file
Patients carry physical files that get lost, damaged, or forgotten
Doctors make decisions without full medical history — dangerous
Lab results and radiology reports are delivered on paper — lost or delayed
No secure way to share medical records between providers
Patients must repeat their history at every visit
Allergies and conditions are unknown — leading to medical errors
Vaccination records are paper-based and incomplete
Medical aids can't verify treatment without paperwork
No patient control over who accesses their medical information
