Care3 CEO David S. Williams III, MBA was a featured speaker at this past weekend’s International Metabolic Conference focused on Fatty Acid Oxidase Disorder (FAOD). The focus of his talk was how real-world health information and technology can work together to help people with FAOD live better each day while helping researchers learn more about the condition.

One key excerpt from his talk included the following:

“It is important to quantify your experience to know your condition better and how it impacts your life:

  • Visualize your experience over time to understand the ebbs, flows, and triggers

  • Share this information with those who care for you or your loved one

  • Improve care from doctors and other care providers because they know what is happening when you are not in an office or healthcare facility

  • Contribute to medical research to improve treatments for FAOD. This data can only come from you, and it’s not in EMRs

[Care3] helps you achieve all of these.”

As a summary, each member receives an FAOD Daily Journal/Timeline and can be shared with family.

  • Each Daily Journal specifically for FAOD includes reminders to add and track fat content throughout the day.

  • Care3 creates real-time charts so you can visualize your experience every step of the way.

  • Each Journal is shareable to facilitate communication and real-time data sharing with family and care providers.

  • Care3 creates reports based on experiences captured to illustrate what works. Reports can be shared at doctor visits and accessible via mobile device in any emergency.
