Lawyer and Health Tech Entrepreneur, Arvind Raichur, Predicts Consumers will Pay More Attention to their Valuable Health Data in 2024

Health tech entrepreneur, Arvind Raichur, has closely watched the evolution of healthcare data over the years as consumers primarily overlooked it.

He predicts that lackadaisical approach to healthcare data will drastically change in 2024 as more consumers become aware of their medical records and want to own it. 

Studies estimate up to 70 percent of health records can contain errors or inaccurate patient information. These errors can lead to wrong prescriptions, expensive diagnostic tests or worse - a misdiagnosis of a disease. 

Raichur founded DrOwl – a secure mobile health platform - as a way for consumers to securely track and protect their healthcare records. Since then, DrOwl has established connections with the country’s largest health record systems as well as The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs, enabling consumers to bring all of their health records into one location on their phone.

“You want to know if there is a mistake in your credit report, so why wouldn’t you want to know if your medical records contain an error that could lead to a dangerous misdiagnose,” said Raichur. “For patients with chronic health conditions like diabetes, the information is critical. There is no margin of error when it comes to our health and prescriptions.”

In 2021, Congress enacted a section of the Cures Act that gives all patients the right to aaccess their records through the app of their choice. Up until that point, it was extremely difficult for patients to acquire or review their health records from hospitals or doctors offices.

A 2023 study from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology suggests consumers are becoming more aware of their health data. The government agency found more consumers are logging into their health portals and reviewing their medical records on mobile apps like DrOwl. The report also found the share of consumers accessing their online medical records or patient portal more than doubled between 2014 and 2022.

DrOwl is a free medical platform that allows consumers to download all of their medical records into one place. The mobile health platform contains a personalized patient portal that translates medical jargon and codes into an easy-to-understand language. 

Navy veteran Tim Quinn is one of those consumers who got on board with owning his health records. He had voluminous medical records from all over the world after he served in Iraq, and connected all of his medical records with DrOwl. 

“You don’t have to be tech savvy to understand DrOwl. It’s very simple to use,” said Quinn, who is from Louisiana. “I was also able to better understand my medical history by using their personalized search engine that was customized to my personal health records. I feel like I am able to better understand my health now.”

Findings from HealthIT Report

The study from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology found about 3 in 5 adult Americans accessed their online medical record or patient portal in 2022. That represents a 50 percent increase since 2020.

It also found more healthcare providers and insurers are offering online access to the patient’s medical records. Roughly 75 percent of all respondents said their healthcare provider or insurer offered them online access to their medical records, representing a 24 percent increase over the last 3 years.

“It’s important for consumers to pay attention to these health records,” said Raichur. “In the ER, seconds matter. Physicians and nurses are moving 100 miles an hour and will refer to your medical records for quick decisions, and many times without talking to you. Your medical records stay with you for life. You should know what’s in there.”

Consumers can download DrOwl on iOS or Google Play.

Brooklyn-based Alarm Company, Safe Blue Security, Announces New Year Referral Program that Gives an Automated Light to Customers for Referring them to Neighbors

The Brooklyn-based alarm company, Safe Blue Security, has announced a new year referral program that will give customers a free automated indoor or outdoor light for referring the home security company to neighbors.

The automated light is connected to the Safe Blue Security mobile app, allowing customers to turn a light on or off while they are away. It provides an extra layer of protection by bringing more activity to the home.

“Our customers are always telling me how they recommend Safe Blue Security to their neighbors. This referral program is a way to say thank you to our loyal customers who are helping us grow by word-of-mouth,” said David Quintero, founder of Safe Blue Security.

Safe Blue Security was founded in 2020 by David Quintero after he spent more than 20 years working with Brinks and Alarm.com. He says he realized he could bring a more affordable home security system to friends and neighbors by branching out on his own. Many of his first customers are from the Bushwick and Bed Stuy areas in Brooklyn.

Safe Blue Security has since expanded to all five NYC boroughs as well as Long Island, Rockland and Westchester Counties. 

The home security system is consistently more affordable than competitors ADT and Brinks. Quintero has vowed to beat competitors’ prices on new home installations across New York City. Safe Blue Security has offerings starting as low as $49/month. Customers can get a free customized quote by calling David directly.

How Safe Blue Security Referral Program Works
 
No codes are needed to take advantage of this referral program. 
 
If a new customer signs up with Safe Blue Security, they should tell the name of the person who referred them to Safe Blue Security. After the new customer signs up, Safe Blue Security will contact the current customer and install a new indoor or outdoor light. 

The home security industry is changing rapidly with the help of technology. 

Safe Blue Security already installs cameras, smart locks and smart displays that are integrated with a consumer friendly mobile app. The entire home security system allows consumers to check on their home when away, and receive alerts with any unexpected activity.

Leading Mover Portland Move Expands Service Area Across Portland Metro

Beaverton, OR Portland Movers, the fastest-growing moving company in Oregon, has officially announced expansion plans to cover the Portland Metro area. Thus allowing it to bring its industry-setting standards to clients in new parts of the state.

The Beaverton-based Portland Move, founded in 2019, has quickly become the go-to choice as it provides high-quality and efficient moving services across Multnomah and Washington Counties, including the cities of Beaverton, Tigard, Portland, and neighboring cities.

Their services include local, long-distance, and cross-country moves for both residential and commercial clients. Labor-only moving and packing services are also key priorities for the Portland team.

The company’s overall goal is to provide a professional, hassle-free and affordable move. Their skilled team is licensed and insured and committed to efficiency, attention to detail and affordable prices.

While moving can often be a mix of excitement and trepidation, local moves still come with their own set of challenges, distinct from cross-country relocations.

For one, moving within the same city may seem straightforward, but it demands meticulous planning, especially when transferring heavy furniture or fragile items through bustling streets.

Inter-county moving, on the other hand, could introduce you to new regulations or transportation concerns. Lastly, moving to a nearby bigger city in Oregon could entail adjusting to a different pace of life or infrastructure.

Navigating these local moves becomes substantially easier when Portland Move are involved. They have a reputation for excellence in local moving services, and the team is well-equipped to handle the nuances of each of the mentioned scenarios.

When it comes to embarking on a long-distance move, it can be an adventure filled with anticipation and challenges. But Portland Move has developed a smooth and efficient service that is primed to offer a smooth experience.

Rather than opt for a DIY long-distance move, Portland Move can be utilized and help save on time and cost and a multitude of other tasks: such as packing, loading, driving, unloading, and then unpacking. “We can take the mental stress of coordinating everything out of the equation on a long-distance move,” said a company official.

Utilizing a service such as Portland Move can also avoid injuries when heavy lifting is involved, help a long-distance relocation adhere to federal and state regulations, and be cost-effective and efficient when factoring in rental truck costs, fuel, tolls, packing materials, and potential hotel stays.
