Did you know using good data can influence your health and your life? One of the worst things said about poor health is this… “if I ignore it, it will go away.” We know the problems don’t go away… people’s health does. When you lose your health, it’s a hard thing to gain back… with David Korsunsky and Heads Up Health we go deep into WHY the data.

A 2018 study from Johns Hopkins found that more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors based on inaccurate information in their medical records. In fact, medical negligence is the 3rd largest killer behind heart disease and cancer in the US. As the doctor/patient relationship becomes increasingly depersonalized – we change jobs, insurance plans, and doctors; we consult with physicians through digital platforms; our care is spread across functional medicine doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths – we risk calamitous scenarios if we don’t take an active and informed role in maintaining our own medical records and understanding our medical history. But how?

Following his own alarming health scare, Dave combined his 15 years in industry-leading technology in Silicon Valley with his passion for health and wellness to create Heads Up Health, a mobile app and web portal that integrates all of the patient’s health records and syncs with pharmacies, clinics, and a wide range of popular health and fitness apps. Leveraging cloud computing, data analytics, and more than 20,000 points of integration, the platform enables users to monitor and manage their own medical records. Data access is empowerment and by enabling people to bring their health records into one place they can prevent a misdiagnosis when medical emergencies arise.
