When confronted with a shockingly high number during a routine cholesterol check at work, the author realized that he knew nothing about his own health metrics. The experience led him to develop a tool called HealthCard to address the questions, “How do I become an informed and empowered patient?” and “How do I [as a patient, nurse, doctor, or proxy] make quicker, more accurate decisions?” This presentation traces the evolution of HealthCard and speculates where it might lead.
