Health records study

MIT faculty, staff and students may be eligible to participate in a study of a new technology that lets users control their health and medical information using a highly secure web-based lifelong health record model. The technology, called IndivoHealth, is being deployed at MIT under a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention health promotion project and is being evaluated by investigators from Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Participants in the study will be entered into drawings for gift certificates to Best Buy. To learn more about this study and about eligibility, visit mit.indivohealth.org or contact Maryanne Kirkbride at 617-253-5240 with questions.
