Patients can now view their lab reports online

General
April 3, 2020
By:

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our patient portal. Your laboratory results are now at your fingertips. With our patient portal, you may view results directly from Flow Health. 

At Flow Health, we strongly believe in patient empowerment. This is the first of many planned patient facing experiences to help patients take charge of their health. This is a foundational step of aligning Flow Health with patients by creating a longitudinal health record of objective biomarkers that can guide data-driven medical decision-making. 

To access the Flow Health Patient Portal, you will get a text message the first time your results are available on Flow Health. Please wait at least seven days after we report the lab test results to your doctor before looking for your lab test results online. This will give your doctor time to review your results and provide the necessary interpretation and action plan. If you already have an account with Flow Health, login in here to view all of the results.

Long COVID: An Autoimmune Disease?

I will throw out a hypothesis: one could almost say that Long COVID or as I call it “Post-COVID-19 Syndrome” is an autoimmune disease where the antibodies that develop after an acute infection target the body instead of the virus. It's a scary thought I know, what is scarier is for us to ignore the possibility that this virus is here to stay, but perhaps in different forms of other diseases.
