Julie Cerrone: Patient case study - My data. My research. My results.

I have many different examples of data that I used to help crack the code of my autoimmunity. From my mom’s notes from when I was little, to keeping test results and surgery notes, to getting tests done and looking over them myself, to the ridiculously elaborate excel spreadsheets I kept on myself (I used to be a consultant, ok?) – there are many points that I can make about how using my own data truly helped me enhance my own health. Had I not kept my own files, tracked my own data, and been empowered to do so, I doubt I’d be in the health state I’m in today.

This presentation would talk about my health journey and how having access to my data, using my data, and fielding my “dream team” or doctor has helped me get to where I am today. My case study proves that we need precision medicine to combat these complex health issues. My main objective would be to show the Medx audience what I used to help tailor my plan, how each and every patient needs someone on their side to help them do the same and end with the thought of “How might we offer our patients this opportunity?”.
