Medical History App for Families

Why your family needs one health app — not five patient portals.

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.

In short

The average family juggles 3–5 separate patient portals — one per hospital system — each with its own login, its own records, and none of them talking to each other.
A medical history app for families puts every family member's records on one timeline: children from birth, yourself, and an aging parent you help care for.
Family Stork gives each person a private @families.familystork.com address. Any clinic, lab, or specialist emails records to it. The timeline builds itself — no portal logins, no uploads. $99/year for the whole family. Start free →

How did families end up with five portals?

Patient portals were built for hospitals, not families. When your child's pediatrician is part of one health system and the allergist is part of another, you get two portals. Add an urgent-care visit at a third system and a specialist at a fourth, and suddenly you have four logins before you've even counted your own doctor. Each portal holds a fragment. None of them hold the story.

Now multiply that by the number of people in your family. Two kids and two parents can easily generate eight or ten separate portal accounts — each with its own password reset, its own app, and its own set of records that can't be exported to each other.

What breaks when records are scattered?

The problem isn't just inconvenience. It's gaps.

The new doctor gets an incomplete picture. You switch pediatricians, and the new one doesn't see the allergy test from the specialist or the ER visit at the children's hospital across town.
School forms take three phone calls. The school wants immunization records, the physical form, and the vision screening — and each one lives in a different portal (or in a drawer).
Nobody remembers the antibiotic from last February. Which kid had the ear infection? What was the dosage? It's buried in a portal you haven't logged into since February.
The ER at 2 a.m. gets what you can remember. Allergies, current medications, the name of the specialist — no parent should need to recall all of this under pressure.
Aging parents add a whole second layer. Your mother's cardiologist, internist, ophthalmologist, and physical therapist each have their own portal. She's given you the passwords on a sticky note. Siblings text each other asking who has the latest medication list.

What does a medical history app for families actually do?

A real medical history app for families does three things patient portals cannot:

One timeline per person, every provider. Not one portal per hospital. One record per person, holding everything every doctor has ever sent — pediatrician, specialist, urgent care, lab, hospital, dentist.
Every family member in one place. Each person has their own timeline, but the parent sees them all. When a child turns 18, the record goes with them — held for them, then handed to them.
Records arrive automatically. The app shouldn't require you to log in to five portals and manually download PDFs. It should receive records from the source — the clinic sends them, the app files them.

How does Family Stork replace five portals?

Family Stork gives every person — every child, yourself, every parent you help care for — one private email address at @families.familystork.com. You give it to the pediatrician, the specialist, the lab, the hospital. They email visit summaries, test results, and immunization updates to it. The timeline files everything automatically.

No portal logins. No uploads. Nothing for the clinic to learn — they already know how to send an email. Paper records from the kitchen drawer go in via photo; the AI handles the data entry.

One family. One plan ($99/year or about $10/month). Every person, every doctor, every record — from first heartbeat and beyond.

What about MyChart?

MyChart belongs to the hospital. Each hospital has its own MyChart instance. If your child sees doctors at three different health systems, you have three separate MyChart accounts with three separate sets of records. Family Stork connects them into one timeline — and holds the records from the clinics that don't use MyChart at all.

What if I also care for an aging parent?

The same plan covers your parent. Create their record, share access with siblings, and give every one of their doctors the private Family Stork address. Discharge papers, medication lists, specialist reports — everything lands in one timeline instead of scattered across five portals and a group text.

Frequently asked questions

Is a medical history app for families the same as a patient portal?

No. A patient portal shows records from one hospital system. A medical history app for families holds records from every provider — every hospital, every specialist, every lab — for every person in the family. Portals are silos; a family health app is the bridge between them.

Can I use Family Stork for just myself?

Yes. One plan covers you, your children, and aging parents. If you just want to organize your own records — for a new doctor, a second opinion, or a move — your own timeline works the same way. Your own record →

What about nannies, sitters, or grandparents?

Family Stork lets you invite helpers who see only what you choose — an emergency card, allergy list, or current medications. Helpers never own or manage the record. What helpers need →

Does the clinic need to install anything?

No. The clinic sends records to your child's private Family Stork email address — the same way they'd email a referral letter. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.

How much does Family Stork cost?

$99/year — or about $10/month — for the whole family. Children, yourself, and an aging parent, all on one plan. See pricing →
