It is a medical and health online application developed by eClinicalWorks LLC. Users can use it to obtain the data of all medical providers in one place. One of its functions is to collect information from many electronic health records. Users can also transfer data between medical providers and browse medical records. In addition, the app has appointment and prescription management functions.
Next, the use of telemedicine has increased after the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, healow is also one of them. Along with providing essential primary care, telemedicine can also be an effective way to control the spread of various diseases. Wearable personal IoT devices can track vital signs. However, in countries with high medical costs, it is important to ensure that telemedicine is covered by health insurance. Telemedicine also requires a certain level of tech literacy and good networking to make it happen. Because healthcare is one of the most regulated industries, doctors can often only provide care to patients who reside in the same jurisdiction. The emergence of healow just solved the problem mentioned above.
All in all, this app as a whole is still very useful, and you can track your numbers regularly to watch the trends change and share your progress with your doctor. I think it’s available to anyone in need.

In the latest update, the application has mainly made efforts in two aspects of function enhancement and bug fix. The latest version of healow is nice and stable. Authentication is consistent and reliable.
To be honest, the app overall is fairly easy to use, and I like having access to all my medical records in one place. I also like that I personally can see my blood tests in a good detail so I can be more involved through my appointments. Most of the time the app is easy to navigate. At first it was slightly annoying, but the more you use it, the easier it is. It makes it easier for refills and getting messages to your doctor. And you can message your doctor when you need it, review your test results in detail, and see all your medications and other things you need.
Pros

2. The app is easy to use, and has records you used to have to call the Dr. Office to get right in the palm of your hand.
3. It allow users go back and see their history of visits and even communicate with their Doctor.
4. Users can enter personal medical records into the app, connect healow with fitness trackers, and use healow to make appointments with doctors in hospitals.
5. Re-authenticating is faster than it used to be and the app doesn't just dump the in progress message like it used to.
6. You can manage multiple accounts and access your and your family's medical information through the app.
Cons
1. Frequent crashes and refusal to log in even when the account password is entered correctly have made many users very distressed and angry recently.
2. The ability to add other accounts to the main account has always been difficult and ineffective.
