Keep Track Of All Your Medical Information
I need a better way to keep my medical information organized. It seems like I can never remember my kids' vaccination history or provide my doctor with an accurate listing of when I've had any of my many accidents. That's why I'm going to give HealthFile from WakefieldSoft a try.
Features include:
� PC companion software for convenient adding and editing on your desktop PC (Plus version).
� Quickly determine when you last went to the doctor
� Carry a vaccinations list for all family members with you
� Define your own providers(physicians), pharmacies, locations, and other master lists
� Comprehensive list of fields for each medical and health topic
� FREE updates and upgrades within the same version number
You can download a free demo version of HealthFile or buy the full version (including PC companion software) for $29.99 from the Handango site.

Why so expensive??
Thirty bucks?!? 8O No way. It's a great idea, though, and I'm going to copy it by creating a ListPro list with all the same information.

Concur, I keep track of my blood sugar levels with Pocket Excel. Thirty buck seems a bit much.

Wow! My thoughts exactly. Right when I read this, I thought to myself, isn't that just a limited database program?

I agree that you can get a lot of this capability via something like HanDBase, but I've never found/built a template that can really capture all that I need it to.
Let me ask this, then...If this were available WITHOUT the desktop application and was less expensive, would you be interested then?

Nope. It's reinventing the wheel, and any DB or listing program already on one's PPC could do just as well in keeping track of this information.

Dang, $30 is insane for this kind of program. As everyone else has said, it'd be really easy to emulate with a note or a database. I think this program would be more reasonably price if it sold for around $20.

Maybe, if < $5, but I'd probably just use eWallet.

I agree. Pocket Excel or any general DB program can accomplish the same thing and more. Why are people trying to make all these purpose specific DB programs? They are all too limited and just take up more space on a PPC.

To be fair there are alot of people out there don't what to have to setup a general DB program to make it work for them.
Still $30 does seam pretty steap. One thing that might make it more worth wile (assuming they would work right) would be the ability to remind you when to take a med.
