Mission
DYSmd helps you by translating the seemingly complicated medical language, enabling you to understand the risks of illness and your choices for disease prevention and treatment. Making you aware of what might be interfering with your well-being, and directing you towards conscious health decisions is DYSmd’s highest goal. In the end, you are the primary person influencing your health, and the more you know, the better your health choices will be. DYSmd.com aims to bring your doctor-patient relationship to a new level by guiding you toward becoming a better-educated patient. The first step is putting medical record management into the hands of patients. Thanks to DYSmd’s Complete Medical Chart you can assemble information from all your doctors and your entire medical history in one place. The details you enter allow DYSmd to provide personalized medical information to you from our large archive of medical data.
History
The idea for DYSmd.com was conceived by a New York City physician as a result of the changing demands he closely experienced with his patients. Practising internal and sports medicine as well as acupuncture for more than 25 years, Dr Jeffrey Delson began to see how relocation and ever-changing health insurance made it challenging for his patients to keep their medical records up-to-date. Shortened doctor’s visits and an over-abundance of web and media-based medical information only add to the difficulty. Today, DYSmd offers an extensive and easily understandable personal health record and one that will move with you from doctor to doctor and from city to city. Dr Delson’s strong belief in preventative medicine led to DYSmd.com which strives to partner with you in the pursuit of mental and physical well-being. Thanks to its anonymous and secure format, DYSmd treats your personal information with utmost confidentiality; allowing you to concentrate on one single issue: your health.
Content
To ensure our users are offered only the most reliable and up-to-date medical information, DYSmd considers only the latest medical findings published in peer-reviewed medical journals. The information provided on DYSmd.com is meant to complement, not replace, the relationship between a patient and his/her physician. In short, DYSmd makes available as much scientific evidence as possible to help you navigate your medical journey. The goal is to remain objective, despite the awareness that even evidence-based medicine can be contradictory. To help you understand your health situation, DYSmd will present you with studies that alert you to symptoms and risks for various diseases and both the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of medications. Remember, whether the presented evidence is relevant to you and your specific health situation, only you and your doctor can decide.
