Would you like to have direct access and control over your own healthcare data? Debi Willis tells us why she created a program that helps patients do this at no cost at all. Debi is a software engineer and the CEO and Founder of PatientLink Enterprise. She and her team build software (MyLinks.com and MyPatientLink.com) that allows patients to link and share their data with their physicians and researchers. Healthcare is too fractured and our personal health data is spread across multiple healthcare systems. She believes the causes and solutions to many of our illnesses can be found among all those data points. Linking people to their data to give them a better view of their health - and also linking them to each other - will allow us all to help find cures, improving the lives of those we love and those who come after us. Giving a personal view of their health is the purpose of their consumer-facing MyLinks product!
