FamilyVitals is a health tracker for the whole household — symptoms, medications, vitals, even pets. Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline for your family — checkups, vaccines, allergies, growth, milestones, all searchable from birth. Both want to be where your family's health lives. They get there from different directions.
FamilyVitals is built around day-to-day health monitoring. You log symptoms, track medications, record vital signs, and scan medical documents. It covers multiple family members — including pets — and syncs with hospital portals. An AI assistant helps surface patterns and reminders. Data stays on-device via iCloud.
Family Stork is built around the health record itself. It starts at birth and keeps going: checkup summaries, immunization records, allergy histories, growth data, milestones, and specialist notes flow into one searchable timeline. Records arrive from clinics via a dedicated email inbox, from paper via photo scanning, and from manual entries. Ask the timeline a question — it answers from your child's full history.

FamilyVitals earns its name. The daily tracking experience — symptoms, vitals, medications — is built for people who check in with their health every day. The shared family calendar is useful for coordinating appointments across a household. And tracking pets on the same platform is a smart touch for families that consider the dog part of the family (most families).
The AI assistant surfaces patterns you might miss: recurring symptoms, medication timing, trends in vitals over weeks. For families managing chronic conditions or active care across multiple people, that monitoring layer adds real value.
The privacy model — iCloud-based, on-device — is genuinely strong. Your data stays on your hardware. That matters to parents who are wary of cloud services touching medical information.
FamilyVitals is organized around what's happening now. Family Stork is organized around everything that's ever happened. One is a dashboard. The other is an archive.
Today's symptoms, this week's medications, the family's upcoming appointments. A health dashboard for the household, including the four-legged members.
Every checkup from birth, every vaccine, every allergy reaction, every growth measurement — on one searchable timeline. Ask it when the last tetanus shot was. It knows.
You want a daily health dashboard for your whole household — symptoms, medications, vitals, pets. You prefer iCloud-only storage and like the idea of an AI assistant monitoring patterns across family members in real time.
You want a single, searchable health record that starts at birth and lasts through adulthood. You want records to flow in automatically from clinics and paper scans — not just manual logging. And you want to ask the record questions and get answers from years of history.
Checkups, vaccines, allergies, milestones — one timeline from the first heartbeat and beyond.
