Arbor Medicus was founded by Jayne Messina RN and Edmund Messina MD. They found that in their neurology clinic, most new patients came with very little helpful information about their general medical history. They began developing automated history taking programs in the 1980's which helped them evaluate their patients. These programs were brought online as the Internet grew in popularity.

In the past decade, as a public service, they began making their programs available online to the general public, free of charge, not only to their own patient population but to anyone wishing to use them. Over that time, their technology continued to advance and thousands of patients began using their programs. As time passed, the same technology was applied to medical education, and they produced numerous online physician education programs.

The program is now useful to all adult patients who wish to take their history for their primary doctor or specialists.

The different programs such as FloBase GenMed™, the FloBase MyMedicalStory™ series, Headaches Defined™ and the FloBase Learning Bank™ were consolidated under the general title Arbor Medicus™ and the concept of bringing together patients and healthcare professionals was born.

In addition to the initial development team, Arbor Medicus has a growing number of professional and lay contributors and reviewers.
