Glenner Alzheimer's Family Centers has teamed with Seqster to provide access to its health data platform in order to improve the Glenner Centers' care coordination and decision-making, reports Healthcare IT News . The platform allows individuals to aggregate and control all of their available health information, including electronic health record, wearables, ancestry, and genomics data. The idea is to enable participants and their families to better navigate healthcare treatment and share valuable personal and family health data with providers and researchers. The platform connects with more than 1,000 healthcare provider organizations made up of more than 2,000 hospitals and clinics across the United States. Users employ the platform by connecting via a website or mobile app to healthcare organization patient portals, wearables accounts, ancestry services accounts, and genomics services accounts by picking the organization or service and then inputting account credentials. The platform pulls together the data from all the organizations and services into a single database, allowing providers, researchers, and relatives access to the information on the person with Alzheimer's. Through the platform, the Glenner Centers offer participants and families an extra benefit and service that improves how they navigate their care experience, including instantaneous access to medical record data alongside fitness, wellness, genomics, and ancestry information.
