A Personal Health Record (PHR) is a digital tool that allows individuals to manage and store their health information in one place. It typically includes details such as medical history, medications, allergies, and test results. PHRs empower patients to take an active role in their healthcare by providing easy access to their health data. PHRs can be maintained by patients themselves or through healthcare providers. They may be linked to electronic health records (EHRs) used by hospitals and clinics, enhancing communication between patients and their healthcare providers. This accessibility can lead to better health outcomes and informed decision-making.
