Abstract :
In this paper we propose the Electronic Multimedia Health Fascicle (EMHF), a truly new software system for the very large number of available electronic health records. It allows the physician to see at a glance the patient´s clinical biometric measurements and biologic parameters, so as to be able to link any alarming physical status to his recent medical history. Web based, accessible from any mobile device, and easy to use by both physicians and patients, the system facilitates patient-medical interaction. Using the system can also promote better adherence to medical guidelines by the physicians and to medical prescriptions and advice by the patients.
