Cholesterol is a fatty or waxy substance found in the body that is essential for a number of metabolic functions including the formation of cell membranes, steroid hormones bile acids and vitamin D. We all need cholesterol however excessive amounts of cholesterol have been strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Levels of proteins that transport cholesterol (lipoproteins) such as LDL and HDL are also important.
Regular measurement and monitoring of lipids is an important preventive health measure and to simplify this process we have developed a recording and monitoring app for your phone.
Your Lipids is a convenient easy to use app that allows you to record, store and monitor your cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels. Results are automatically compared with current recommended levels and abnormal results are flagged and explained.
The app also allows you to use markers to identify changes to medication, diet, lifestyle or other factors which may influence cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The use of these markers on the charting facility clearly illustrates the effect of these changes.
The app can store and monitor results from multiple individuals with name and photo ID.
An explanatory illustrated text is included with detailed information on the various lipids and their role in normal metabolism. Information is provided on the association between these lipids and cardiovascular disease.
To make sure you never loose the cholesterol levels you have recorded on your phone, we provide the facility to store the results on your very own complementary electronic health record account with YourHealthRecord.com.
