# Patient-Centered Data Control #### Health Throve empowers patients by putting them in complete control of their medical data. Unlike traditional systems where data is often scattered and controlled by various healthcare providers, patients on Health Throve can manage who accesses their records and for how long. They can easily share or revoke access with a few clicks, allowing them to protect their privacy while ensuring their data is accessible when needed for treatment. This decentralized control ensures transparency and strengthens the trust between patients and healthcare providers. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
