"Family Healthware™ is a self-administered, interactive Web-based software tool that assesses a person's familial risk for six diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancer). It provides users with a ""prevention plan"" containing personalized recommendations for lifestyle changes and screening. For each person, the tool collects data about the following:+ Health behaviors (e.g., smoking and exercise);+ Screening tests (e.g., blood cholesterol and mammography);+ Health history among his or her first- and second-degree relatives.One set of algorithms in the software analyzes users' family history data and assesses their familial risk for each of the six diseases. A second set of algorithms uses the data on familial risk, health behaviors, and screening results to generate personalized prevention messages.The intended use is to utilize computerized family genomic data to increase disease risk perceptions and improve chronic disease management, thereby reducing the effects of these serious chronic disorders."
An application software program designed for the continual collection and aggregation of a patient's self-care data to promote communication between patient and healthcare provider, to facilitate a patient's self-care by using rules defined during use of the application, and/or to facilitate population monitoring. It is typically used to capture clinical (e.g., blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose), nutritional, and/or exercise information in the home, which may include medication administration information captured from enabled injection devices and data from wearable devices, providing care plan, journal, medication advice, and/or messaging functionalities.
