BTW, only about 20-25% of existing registered users have a shared health

When 17million more are added that will drop immediately to about 9%
Most of the data in a myhr will be old and unreliable, assuming there's
any there in the first place.
That's a valid point, too. What is the life cycle of health information?
What is relevant when you're 2 versus when you're 13 (puberty, folks),
18 (majority), middle aged and then older? Do records fall off the back
end once you reach an age? Which information is valuable at which stage?
When you end up with a (guessing) 5000 page PDF health record, what does
the provider need to pay attention to? How do they find it?
Just a collection of data is useless if it's not accurate (which some of
it clearly is not), valid for the question, and undiscoverable.
Too many questions/problems to trust this thing blindly, leaving aside
the privacy and confidentiality problems.

fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
