The PHRAlert service enables HealthAssist to connect to and synchronize data from selected 3rd party databases. For instance, your existing PHR (personal health record) such as Microsoft Health Vault, your Prescription Benefits Manager, Your Healthcare Payer, may all provide value to either instantly setup data in HealthAssist for you, enable you to have HealthAssist submit your refill request to your pharmacist, or alert you when your prescription medications are ready to be picked up or put in the mail.
In the event of a health emergency, your healthcare provider can access PHR information, provided they are supplied with the username and password to access the account.
Sharing your Personal Health Information
A key value to HealthAssist is the ability to share your health information or aggregate your information with others to provide you with the ability to better manage your health, giving you access to:

General Information
HealthAssist Companion Website: http://assist.wellcaretoday.com/
To improve the useability of HealthAssist, we have created a companion website that allows for access through your PC. You can access the companion website at https://assist.wellcaretoday.com. Using the same username and password, you can setup any or all of the features of HealthAssist, but through the convenience of using a large PC screen and keyboard. You can also access the CouponAlert feature, providing you with condition-related coupons that you may print-at-home or in some cases add to your loyalty card or store digitally on your smartphone.
HealthAlert:
HealthAlert will provide you with "condition-related" links to Clinical Trials, social networks for condition-related chat rooms, disease management information, best practices, best outcomes and new treatments and, thereby, easily connect you to information that can help you improve your health. You can turn off the HealthAlert Service at any time in the settings section of your application.
CalendarAlert:
Taking your medication timely has a direct correlation to your health state and associated healthcare costs. HealthAssist will help improve your Medication Adherence by providing reminders through CalendarAlert once you set it up.
CalendarAlert may also be utilized to remind you to schedule a condition-related or age-related preventative exam, such as an annual physical, lab test, flu-shot, colonoscopy, mammography, eye exam or other preventative exams which are important to maintain your health.
RefillAlert:
Through RefillAlert you now have the ability to be reminded when it is time to refill your prescription. Certain versions of this software will also enable HealthAssist to submit refill requests to your Pharmacy. You can turn off RefillAlert at any time in the settings section of HealthAssist.
GoFetch:
Select from weather, horoscope, stock symbol or local sports scores and GoFetch will retrieve that information and post it for you to see, each time you receive your reminder to take your meds.
CouponAlert:
CouponAlert provides you with access to up to six (6) coupons for over-the-counter products you are likely to purchase.
PHR (Personal Health Record)
We will store your medical history, which can be easily made available to healthcare providers in the event of an emergency should you encounter such a need in the future. Additionally this service will enable you to link and synchronize healthcare data stored by your various healthcare providers. You may store and save information and edit/add other information that becomes available to you.
Opt-In
In essence, all of the foregoing features and services are opt-in, meaning they are functional only if you setup and complete the required information. Additionally, HealthAlerts and RefillAlerts can be turned off at any time via the settings section within HealthAssist. That said, the more information you enter, the better HealthAssist can support you because it is that very information that enables HealthAssist to connect you with articles and information that can assist you in managing your condition, receive relevant discount coupons, be invited to condition related seminars and clinics, have easy access to support systems or personnel, or save you time by submitting your prescription refill requests for you. Since information stored in HealthAssist is private, a username and password must be used to access that information. A username and password is required to access all information.
