In an article titled “Tracking your family health history“, Dr. Lori Wiviott of Harvard Medical School suggests that it’s not only important to keep track of your own medical history, but also to create a medical history of your family, since many diseases are genetic.
The article contains a simple guide on how to create a medical family tree. This seems like the logical extension from the importance of keeping personal medical history information. I wonder if the My Life Log includes a place for family history?

I agree with you when you say its important to track your family medical history. The doctors always ask if things run in your family. I saw my mum had alot of medical problems and i feel they will be passed onto me.
