We have developed iHealthNY with the goal of supporting:
• Insanely quick access to personal health information
• Insanely simple yet secure ways to share the record with
other providers and family/friends
• Easy availability of additional web resources to satisfy
information needs that arise based on the information in
the patient record

3. Key Innovations
• A ground-breaking Natural Language based search
interface to allow consumers to quickly find information
in their medical record
• One-click navigation design for viewing, sharing and
receiving updates in the patient portal
• Simplified access control specifications to make record
sharing easy
• Provide audio rendering of medical terms
as pronunciation aides
• Innovative integration of web search results to provide
additional information based on what the user is
searching for in the portal

6. Dashboard (Screen Shot)
Powerful search driven
information retrieval that
pulls information from the
PHR and relevant info from Quick links based PHR navigation
the web
to essential functions

7. Search (Screen Shot)
When users type in
their query, matching
results pulls up in their
PHR section. For eg.
“WBC count”
Users are looking for more
information on their
condition and medication
besides what’s in their
records. Our PHR
integrates that step in the
UI by providing “Both” and
“Web” option in the
user’s search criteria

8. Sharing Record log (Screen Shot)
Users can grant (other individuals
and providers) access to their
records by either searching
providers name or using their User can revoke access to
email
their records by simply locking
the record (locked access
shows up as a red dot)
Partial access granted
(yellow dots)
Users can also link accounts of
their family members
Full access granted
(green dots)
Connections are mapped out based
on the user and provider location.
For eg., access linked from Syracuse
NY to Dansville, NY
