Has short-term potential, but am I wasting my time?

I recently purchased this product (last couple of months), and I do see the developers work on fixing issues as they can. That bodes well for the future.

The negatives:

#1-Nothing in this program really “flows”.
You can kind of link some things, but not everything. I just feel like I am all over the place when I am trying to work inside the program.
For example: You can enter eyesight information, but the office visit you scheduled for the eyesight checkup (including doctor), can not link to anything you put in. The data is already there. Just link it. Little things like this occur all over the program. Some things you can link, many you just can’t.

#2-Exporting a CCR exports very little of the information you took so much time to enter.
For example, I recently created a Microsoft HealthVault account in addition to having MyMedical. My thought was to use MyMedical as the “tool” to enter information, and Microsoft HealthVault to actually store it and send it to physicians. I had previously entered in dozens of records for my daughter, but when I exported the file, there were only 3 records (1 of which was her name) exported in the CCR file. That means, if I want to use both programs, I have to manually add almost everything.

The positives:

-They really do have a lot of the possible medical situations covered as far as data you have to track.
-The DropBox integration seems to be working well. This has helped me tremendously!
-The app links to Calendar. This allows me to create the appointment in MyMedical, and then push it to Calendar. This has often helped remind me to ask certain questions and get certain information with his medical record open in front of me.

Overall, I like MyMedical. Like my rating suggests “It’s ok.” However, all it would take to get me to switch to a new program is one that “flows” better. Unless, of course, MyMedical improved theirs!
