Aetna on Tuesday launched an interactive personal health record that provides its members with online access to their health data and sends personalized messages to members and physicians, United Press International reports.
The PHR uses the CareEngine System by Aetna's stand-alone firm ActiveHealth Management. The system matches members' health data and claims information with "highly respected sources of medical literature," and it alerts members and physicians "about possible urgent situations" and ways to improve their health care, according to United Press International.
The online PHRs can be updated by members to include information, such as hereditary diseases or conditions and over-the-counter prescription drugs that they take, according to Aetna (Gilcrest, United Press International, 10/3).
