Family Health History & Personal Health Records

5AM Solutions offers a tool that advances the standardized collection of family health information for the use of patients, individuals at high risk for genetic and common diseases, clinicians and, by extension, the PHR and EHR systems that they rely on.

My Family Health Portrait and Family Helix

5AM developed the Surgeon General’s My Family Health Portrait, an open source, standards-based web solution for tracking a person’s family health history – one of the common indicators of disease risk. We can customize the tool to integrate and interact with EMRs, nonprofits, PHRs, and risk assessment tools. My Family Health PortraitWe’ve built a web service to store the HL7 Family History model (the standard that underlies the tool) into the Microsoft HealthVault PHR, and have built a colorectal cancer risk assessment web service and a BRCAPro web service that integrate with the tool to provide additional risk assessment functionality.

Family Helix

5AM Solutions also supports Family Helix, a nonprofit organization that promotes awareness, communication, collaboration, and use of family health history to impact scientific research, medical treatment, and patient health. It does this in two ways, by providing a secure, easy-to-use online tool for people to track Family Helixtheir family's health, and by providing a community forum for medical professionals, geneticists, researchers, and others who are interested in the issue of family health history.
