What Gwen’s Doctor Missed
An early HealthScout user, Gwen*, discovered something alarming about her health: her kidney function had declined 30% in seven months, yet the doctors reviewing her labs saw nothing concerning.
Why did HealthScout catch what the doctors missed? HealthScout had Gwen’s complete health story — across providers and time. Her new doctor couldn’t see her older labs. In addition, HealthScout connected her medication use to lab changes and flagged trends impossible for her primary care physician to see.
The Question Elena
Didn't Know to Ask
As an early HealthScout user, Elena* was intrigued when a question card appeared asking: “Could your Vitamin D level of 27 ng/mL be affecting your energy?” She had been struggling with fatigue for months but had never connected it to her recent lab results.
HealthScout's Question Cards are generated from your actual health data, surfacing insights you might not discover on your own. It knew that Elena's specific vitamin D level was insufficient and could impact energy production — giving her the perfect question to explore with her doctor at her next appointment.
As an early HealthScout user, Mark* was concerned about his high Lp(a) — an uncommon but dangerous marker for heart health. When he asked his cardiologist what else he could do besides taking statins, the doctor said to just keep taking them and monitor the numbers.
But when Mark asked HealthScout the same question, it suggested Ezetimibe, a newer drug that can be used alongside statins to improve outcomes for people with elevated LP(a). HealthScout knew about treatment combinations and newer research that gave Mark valuable options to discuss at his next cardiology appointment. His doctor looked at the evidence and agreed it could reduce Mark’s risk, so now thank’s to HealthScout Mark is on Ezetimibe.
The Treatment Mark Never Heard About
The Easy Way To Answer A Hard Medical Question
As an early HealthScout user, Maya* was filling out a medical form that asked for her prior surgeries. She knew that she'd had two tibial plateau fracture repairs, one on each leg, years ago, but couldn't remember the exact dates for each leg. Searching through old paperwork and calling doctor offices would take forever.
Instead, Maya simply asked HealthScout: “When did I have my tibial plateau fracture repair surgeries?” Within seconds, it provided surgery dates, which leg was involved, and the specific procedures performed. HealthScout turned a frustrating search through fragmented medical records into an instant, accurate answer.
