MyGNUHealth PHR: GNU / HEALTH Personal Health History App
In some past opportunities we have addressed the importance, usefulness and contributions of Free Software, Open Source and GNU / Linux in terms of Health and Medicine.
And specifically, we have already spoken a couple of times about the GNU / Health project. That is why today, we will comment a little more about a new app that said project has been developing and perfecting, called "MyGNUHealth PHR".
GNU HEALTH: Now with new patch 3.6.2 to start 2020
And since, it is very timely to remember or be clear that it is the GNU / Health project, we will cite a brief excerpt from our past related publications, which we recommend reading in depth after the end of this publication:
"GNU / Health is an excellent Free Hospital and Health Management System. Therefore, it is intended for health professionals, health institutions and governments. In addition, this system has experienced outstanding growth in recent years and actively contributes to improving technology, associated with the world of Free Software, Open Source and the GNU / Linux ecosystem." GNU HEALTH: Now with new patch 3.6.2 to start 2020
“GNU Health has been developed by Thymbra, a company with experience in the areas of administration, medical informatics and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) based on FOSS. In 2011 Thymbra makes GNU Health a part GNU Solidarity, a non-profit organization in charge of expanding free software as a measure to seek equality in access to this system, promoting GNU Health as a project that promotes improvements in medical information, offering benefits to patients and health professionals."

MyGNUHealth PHR (Personal Health Record)
What is MyGNUHealth PHR?
According to official website of this project, it is described as follows:
"MyGNUHealth is GNU Health Libre's personal health registry. This application can be used on desktop computers and mobile devices. MyGNUHealth is a desktop and mobile application that helps you take control of your health. As a Personal Health Registry, you will be able to record, evaluate and act proactively on the determinants of the main spheres of health (bio-psycho-social). MyGNUHealth will be your health partner. You can connect with your healthcare professionals and share the health data you want with them in real time. MyGNUHealth puts you in the driver's seat as an active member of the healthcare system."
Importance of an application like MyGNUHealth
The developers and members of the GNUHealth Community express that the need for a Free Personal Health Record that respects the freedom and privacy of the individual is more and more essential in these modern times.
"There are Personal Health Record apps on the market, but MyGNUHealth is unique. MyGNUHealth is a Free program that respects your freedom and privacy. By Free we mean that the source code of the application is available; the user can modify it if he wishes, and interact with the community to improve the application. You are in control of the application. Unlike other closed source health apps, you can be sure that your health information will not be leaked or sold to anyone."
