The free Medelinked app is now available for Android devices in the Android Market on Google Play.

The app enables users to record a range of medical details such as allergies, conditions, immunisations, medications and tests. Individuals can also store images of scans and x-rays as well as insurance and other documentation.

Ian Gallifant, founder and CEO of Medelinked, said: “We are now seeing a dramatic shift in healthcare – individuals have a heightened interest in their own wellbeing and are increasingly interacting with person technology to manage their lives.

“Personal electronic health records are the way forward for effective healthcare in the future. It starts with past health information being stored in an easily accessible way but offers the prospect of future health scenarios being generated through predictive analytics from large databases of information including lifestyle data, as well as medical intervention choices.”

The medical records of users are stored using the Medelinked Health Cloud system, with the user having sole control over the information that is stored and whether they wish to share it with healthcare professionals. Users can also choose information they wish to password-protect.
