The main purpose is for making statistics.

Statistics is one of the most powerful tools available to doctors and science today.

The Health Record is a statistical record of your life. Doctors can read it and easily see if there is a recurring problem. This makes it possible to faster be able to get to the bottom of a problem. It makes the doctors visitation much more efficient.

Statistics as in your health record is not only usable for you alone.

It can be cross-referenced with other members of your family to indicate hereditary diseases or conditions.

It can be cross-referenced with other people in your area to indicate specific problems in the area.

It can be cross-referenced with the entire population of your species to indicate special hereditary problems thereof.

Cross-references might be of great help when trying to find out about certain conditions there are no immediate medical, physiological or even psycological explanations to. (Not limited by these alone.)
