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.

Most family health records apps start the same way: download the app, create an account, then start scanning, uploading, or typing. Vaccination cards. Visit summaries. Lab results. Growth charts. Allergy test results. One by one, document by document, you build the record yourself.
Some apps have gotten smarter about this. FHIR-connected apps like MyDigiRecords and KeepMD can sync with major hospital systems — Epic, Cerner, and thousands of large providers. That's a real step forward. Records from those systems flow in automatically.
But here's what most families discover: not every provider is FHIR-connected. The small pediatric practice across town. The urgent care you visited on vacation. The allergist your insurance assigned. The school nurse's office. The dentist. These providers have one thing in common — they all have email. And that's the gap.
Family Stork takes a different approach. Every person in your family gets one private @familystork email address. Give it to any clinic, lab, or hospital. They email records to it — visit summaries, test results, vaccine updates — and the timeline files them automatically.
No portal logins. No uploads. Nothing for the clinic to learn. Email is the one technology every medical office already uses, from the largest hospital system to the solo pediatrician working out of a converted house on Main Street.
One address per person. It stays the same through every move, every provider change, every school.
"Can you send visit summaries to this email?" Every clinic knows how to do this. There's nothing to download, no portal to join.
Visit summaries, lab results, and vaccine records land on the timeline. AI reads dates, values, and details. You don't type anything.
Not everything comes by email. The vaccine card in the kitchen drawer. The rash photo lost in the camera roll. The allergy action plan the school nurse handed you at pickup.
Snap it. Family Stork's AI reads the document, extracts the data, and adds it to the timeline. No manual data entry.
And then you can ask the record questions. "When was her last flu shot?" "What did the allergist say in March?" "Is she due for a booster before school starts?" The timeline answers from your child's actual records — not generic medical information.
Apps that use FHIR to sync with hospital systems are doing real, valuable work. If your family's providers are all in major health systems — Epic, Cerner, and the like — FHIR sync is seamless. Records appear automatically.
But FHIR availability varies by provider, region, and platform. The smaller the practice, the less likely it's FHIR-connected. And families don't choose providers based on which app their records sync with — they choose the pediatrician they trust, the specialist their insurance covers, the urgent care that's open on Saturday.
Email doesn't have a provider directory. It doesn't require enrollment. The @familystork address works the same whether you're at Johns Hopkins or a two-doctor practice in rural Montana. That universality is the point.
✓ All your providers are in major hospital systems
✓ You want records on-device with no cloud dependency
✓ You're managing one person's records (fewer providers to track)
✓ Your family sees a mix of providers — big systems and small practices
✓ You move between states (the email follows the family, not the provider)
✓ You manage records for multiple children across different providers
✓ You want one timeline from birth through adulthood — $99/year or about $10/month
Many parents today aren't just managing records for children — they're also helping aging parents navigate health systems. The same scattered-records problem that hits your kids' pediatrician visits hits your parents' cardiology appointments.
One @familystork address per person means your mother's cardiologist and your daughter's pediatrician both send records to the same kind of inbox. Different timelines. Same system. One place to look when a provider asks "what medications is she on?" or "when was his last echocardiogram?"
Only paper records that didn't arrive by email — old vaccine cards, handwritten notes, printed forms. Snap a photo; the AI handles the rest. Digital records from clinics arrive and file themselves through the email address.
Most clinics can also email visit summaries. Ask the front desk to CC your @familystork address. You still have portal access — Family Stork just gives you one timeline across all of them. See Family Stork vs MyChart for details.
No. Family Stork organizes your records. It never gives medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Always talk to your pediatrician or doctor about health concerns. If it's an emergency, call 911.
FHIR apps sync with supported hospital systems (availability varies by provider and region). Family Stork uses email, which every clinic already has. If all your providers are in FHIR-connected systems, either approach works. If you see a mix of providers, the email mechanic catches everything. See our comparisons with KeepMD and MyDigiRecords.
The record transfers to them. Their health history, their hands. A whole life, kept — from first heartbeat and beyond.
$99/year — or about $10 a month.
The @familystork address moves with your family. Your new pediatrician, the new school nurse, the new specialist — they all email to the same address. No records to transfer, no forms to re-request. See our back-to-school hub for state-by-state health form requirements.
Yes. "When was her last flu shot?" "What did the dermatologist say?" "Is she up to date for school?" Answers come from your child's actual records — grounded in the data, not generic information.
Give any clinic your child's private @familystork address. They send records; the timeline builds itself. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn.
