Lifecard PHR 
Platform: Apple (iOS) and Android
Cost: Free

You can have your health information on hand through this app or via the Lifecard website.
Within the same app, you can:

  • Track measurements such as blood glucose and blood pressure
  • Set reminders for when to measure them
  • Keep a history of your health summary, medications and procedures
  • Store referrals, test results and medical reports.

You can also set up sub-accounts for your family members (for example dependent children or adults who cannot create their own). You can share information with others if they have a Lifecard account, such as your healthcare provider. They can also add information like reports or results directly to your account.

Other languages that work with Lifecard now include Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese.
