Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.
Every app below handles some piece of your family's health records. The right one depends on who you're keeping records for and how you want them to arrive.

Most health records apps ask you to do the work — download PDFs from portals, photograph paper records, type in details manually. The record is only as complete as your effort.
Family Stork works differently. Every person in your family gets a private email address shown on their record. Give it to any clinic, lab, or hospital. The clinic emails visit summaries, test results, and vaccine updates to that address. The timeline files them automatically. The clinic doesn't install anything or learn a new system — they just email, which they already know how to do.
That's the difference between a vault you fill and a timeline that fills itself.
Built for families managing records across generations. A child from birth, yourself, or a parent you help care for — each person gets their own private @familystork email address and health timeline. Clinics send records to that address; AI does the data entry. Snap paper records and they file too. Ask the record questions and get answers. Helpers (nannies, sitters, grandparents) see only what the family chooses. The record goes with the person — from their first heartbeat and beyond.
Best for: Families who want one record per person that works with every doctor, not one portal per hospital.
MyChart is free, familiar, and available at most large hospitals. The catch: each hospital has its own MyChart. Three hospitals means three logins, three inboxes, three sets of results. Records stay in the hospital's system. If you switch providers or move, you start over. MyChart belongs to the hospital — not your family.
KeepMD pulls records from providers through FHIR connections (the same technology Apple Health uses) — and as of October 2026, it ranks #1 in search results for personal health record app queries. If your provider supports FHIR, records sync automatically. Their KeepMD Intelligence AI analyzes your chart history, and visit transcription captures appointments in real time. If your providers don't support FHIR — and many smaller practices, urgent care clinics, and specialists still don't — you're back to manual uploads. Strong and growing technology, but reach depends on your particular doctors.
KeptWell is designed for people managing serious illness — cancer, chronic conditions, complex diagnoses. Upload documents (pathology reports, imaging, discharge papers) and their AI extracts key information. Strong for someone navigating treatment decisions with a stack of PDFs. Less suited for routine family record-keeping where the goal is having everything arrive automatically.
OneRecord connects to existing patient portals and pulls records into one view. Focused on adults managing their own health. If you're looking for a personal health record and your providers support FHIR, it's a solid option. Doesn't extend to managing records for children or aging parents in the same way Family Stork does.
FamilyVitals focuses on documenting family health history — conditions, medications, risk assessments across relatives. Useful for understanding hereditary risk. Not a clinical records repository: you type the information manually, and it doesn't connect to clinics or portals.

MyDigiRecords (MDR) lets you digitize paper medical records, store them in one place, and track health parameters like vaccinations and vitals. The app covers individuals and families, and a separate clinic product (MDR PRO) helps practices go digital. Records arrive through manual digitization or clinic upload — useful if your providers are still on paper. For clinics already sending electronic records, Family Stork's email address works without the clinic installing anything.

FamGenix maps family health history as a family tree — useful for genetic counseling and understanding inherited risk. It's a specialized tool, not a day-to-day records keeper. If your doctor asks "does anyone in your family have X?" FamGenix helps you answer that. For ongoing records from checkups and labs, you'll need something else.
Start with one paper. Family Stork does the rest. The first-year schedule is ready before the first visit. School forms, daycare forms, camp forms — all from one record. Held for them, then handed to them.
Your parents' records are scattered across every doctor they ever had. Bring them together. One record for every doctor, every sibling, every hospital stay. Discharge papers, medication lists, the emergency card.
One health story for a new doctor, a second opinion, a move, a new insurer. Your record, your timeline, always ready to hand over.
The family invites you. You see only what the family chooses. The emergency card is always there. Helpers never own or manage the record.
It depends on how you want records to arrive. If you want clinics to send records directly to a private email address that files them automatically, Family Stork is built for that. If you prefer syncing through FHIR connections, KeepMD covers 40,000+ providers. For complex medical care with document AI, KeptWell is strong. The "best" app is whichever one your family will actually use consistently.
Yes. Family Stork gives every person a private email address shown on their record. Give it to any clinic, lab, or hospital. They email visit summaries and test results to it, and the health timeline files them automatically. The clinic doesn't need to install anything — email is something every medical office already knows how to do.
Family Stork covers a child from birth, yourself, or a parent you help care for — each person gets their own record and private email address. FamilyVitals and KeepMD also support multiple family members, though both use different record-collection methods (manual entry and FHIR syncing, respectively).
Free forever to organize your family's records. The full service — where Family Stork does the work — costs $99 per year, or about $10 a month.
MyChart belongs to the hospital. Each hospital has its own MyChart — three hospitals means three logins and three separate record sets. Family Stork belongs to your family. One email address works with every clinic, and every record lands in one timeline. Connect supported portals too — many hospitals, one record.
Give any clinic your family's private @familystork address. They send records; the timeline builds itself. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn.
$99/year — or about $10 a month.
