Medical facilities in the West are breaking down at the very time the Western 'baby boom' are need them. Additionaly, with the breakdown of the former Soviet Union nearly 300 million people are facing poor or no medical care. This will strain Western facilities even further.
If you are fortunate and gain entry to a facility, you will find the staff to a burdered. The care administered will be below what you and I expect.
This is a frustration to all of us, because the world is geared for and expect us to be fit / healthy. When you lose your health, you lose control to the areas you currently dominate be it at home, work, leisure, etc.
Feeling healthy, or feeling fit, is a personal thing. For the 1st time you can now document, or profile. that feeling in private.
For years we've been going for medical care with no records, only our memory of events (a memory that usially was not functionins because we were ill). Now you can enter a medical facility with a track record of your health and a diary showing when your fitness began to fail.
Our software and its interface withe the heart rate monitor was developed with a medical doctor. The effort was extensive. It took a team of professional 19 months to create.
People
respect and follow those who are in control and who look healthy.
You can meet these expectations and feel good doing it. |
