AIDS
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS was first reported in the United States in 1981, and since then has become a worldwide epidemic. The human immunodeficiency virus or HIV, is the cause of AIDS and it works by damaging or killing cells which control the body's immune system. It is a pervasive disease which continually destroys the body's ability to fight infections. Bacteria and viruses, which do not usually make healthy people sick, attack people with AIDS and cause them to get life-threatening diseases.
Because the immune system is compromised, monitoring vital signs is essential for someone with AIDS. You want to detect and treat any infection or virus as early as possible. PHDtoGo can help those with AIDS by giving you an opportunity to participate in your own health progress. Each day you sign onto our confidential site and record your vital signs; blood pressure, heart rate, temperature upon waking, and weight, and answer 10 questions relating to your condition. Within 120 seconds you can view your PHDChart. Your chart (click on the sample below) will show you whether or not your vital signs are running within normal limits. (Colored bands on the PHDChart, based on national standards of care, make it easy for you to tell.) Trends become apparent. Your general health and progress will be clearly defined.
If you desire, you can share the PHDChart with your doctor. Print a full color copy from the Internet at any time and take it with you on your next appointment, or email your personal PHDChart to your physician. If you give him access to your personal PHDChart ID, he can view your current vital data anywhere and anytime on the Internet.
This entitles you to 90 days PHDChart services. You must have an Authorization Code before you can Register on the PHDChart System.
