Good question, hkiely! There are a number of great products out there to help people manage medical data—those are certainly two of them. Our focus at PatientBank right now is on just one piece of that problem: making sure people don't have to request their medical records over fax or in-person. What that means is that our market often differs from folks who use a personal health record. Many of our users have been asked by their doctor, their insurance company, or a lawyer to gather and share their medical records—sometimes even from just one specialist or hospital—and they want help doing so.
