Although taking control of one's own healthcare is not a novel aspiration, it is rarely practised in real life. In the current system, most people's healthcare are managed by doctors and hospitals. Such a system has its flaws. It discourages us to be active participants of our own healthcare, thus raising the risk of mismanagement and error. It has been estimated that one-third of the US healthcare funds are spent on medical misdiagnosis.

The causes of misdiagnosis are varied. They range from financial limitations, where the patients cannot afford state-of-the-art lab tests to accurately identify the source of illness, to malpractices where doctors misdiagnose diseases due to ignorance and incompetence. Perhaps the most common source of misdiagnosis is the lack of effective patient-doctor communications. Most patients generally have little medical knowledge on the diseases associated with their symptoms. As a consequence, patients are not prepared to ask inquisitive questions when visiting doctor's office. Doctor's initial diagnoses are often passively accepted without questions and challenges. In the absence of critical discussions, the doctors are easily induced to complacency. The rate of misdiagnosis rises accordingly.

We must play a more active role in our own healthcare in order to avoid becoming the next victim of being misdiagnosed.

iHomeMD offers features to assist our users in this endeavour. In addition to providing medical reference information on diseases and conditions, treatments, drugs and supplements, iHomeMD has implemented a software that performs online medical diagnosis (iDiagnosis), electronic medical records management (iRecords), and generate summary reports of users' health conditions (iReport). Built on a proprietary technology, iDiagnosis employes a sophisticated algorithm based on a statistical model that makes personalized medical diagnosis by incorporating information from a variety of sources, including users' symptoms, medical history, health profile, and a disease profile database. The diagnoses produced by iDiagnosis help users finding medical information relevant  to their health conditions before visiting doctor's office. The summary report is produced by iReport contains information about users' health conditions and potential strategies to treat their illnesses. Most significantly, iReport also lists a series of specific questions related to the users' illnesses. The iReport helps users to engage in active discussions with their doctors during hospital visits, thus reducing the potential of being misdiagnosed.
