GuineaFAMILY FAQ

What is GuineaFAMILY?

As a medical student, I am always encountering patients who are unable to communicate (for one reason or another). All too often I end up relying on family members for much of the relevant medical history of the patient. Unfortunately, I often find families unprepared to answer many of my questions dealing with medications, previous hospitalizations, and even the name of family member's primary care physician.

Now, using GuineaFAMILY, it is possible to keep accurate medical records on each family member. Then, when the need for urgent medical care arises, important information is only a few taps away. With GuineaFAMILY, you can assist your loved one's physicians by providing a detailed medical, surgical, social, family and psychiatric history in the event that they cannot provide such information themselves. GuineaFAMILY also stores information regarding laboratory tests and medications, including dosages and frequency of administration.

What features for GuineaFAMILY offer?

GuineaFAMILY offers the following features:

  • GuineaFAMILY was written by a medical student who interviews families on a daily basis. As a result, you can be sure that the important information you need to have on hand is stored in your Palm.
  • Store your entire family's medical histories. While many programs only allow you to store information on yourself, GuineaFAMILY is a complete database permitting as many entries as you Palm's memory can store.
  • Capability of beaming medical records to other GuineaFAMILY users. This enables you to fill out your own, and then beam the information to your spouse... and vice versa!
  • Store multiple blood pressure readings. Great feature for showing physicians blood pressure trends in hypertensive patients.
  • Features a Diabetes Management section with information on specialist visits, recent blood glucose readings, and insulin regimen.
  • Ability to set a reminder alarm for each family member. You can now be reminded to set up that important appointment with your loved one's physician! No more missed appointments or missed screening tests.
  • Demo version is fully-functional. There are no crippled or disabled features in GuineaFAMILY. So you can feel comfortable entering all of your important data now and decide within thirty days if you wish to register.

How do I install GuineaFAMILY?

Easy.  Download GuineaFAMILY from OUR SOFTWARE page and simply unzip it.  Install the single prc file onto your Palm, and you are ready to go.

Can I run Palm Hacks while using GuineaFAMILY?

You can try.  But if GuineaFAMILY begins acting odd, turn your hacks off and try again (this applies to any and all software, not just the GuineaSOFT line of products).

If I register, will I lose all the data I've entered already?

No.

A WORD OF CAUTION:

The GuineaFAMILY demo is a 30-day demonstration program.  This means that the program will cease to function 30 days from the date you installed it on your Palm and you will be unable to access your data.  You should decide within this 30 day period if you wish to register GuineaFAMILY.  Hesitating to do so may mean that the information will not be accessible at a time when you need it most.  Also note that the data you enter is not deleted at the end of the trial period.  Registering the software will enable you to re-access the data you stored during the trial period.
