Kaizen Health is a family medical records organizer based in San Francisco. You upload lab results, visit summaries, images, and notes; their AI assistant Kai reads the documents, answers questions in plain language, and shares updates with family caregivers. It's useful when the paperwork is already in your hands. Family Stork's model starts one step earlier: every person gets a private email address, and any clinic, lab, or hospital emails records directly to it. The timeline fills itself. Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.
Kaizen Health describes its core idea this way: "Why upload medical records? Your medical records should help you make better care decisions." They're right about the goal. Their solution is a document vault plus AI — you upload lab results, visit summaries, images, and recordings; Kai summarizes them in plain language, flags what matters, and gives you sharper questions before the next appointment. For family caregivers managing a parent with complex health needs, that's genuinely useful when the paperwork has already accumulated.
Kaizen Health is available as an iOS and Android app, is based in San Francisco, and targets family caregivers — especially adult children coordinating a parent's care across multiple providers. Their family-sharing feature lets you give siblings and other family members access to the same records. You track "the latest records, kept with the right person" — but getting records there still requires someone to upload or scan them first.
Family Stork changes the first step. Every person gets a private @families.familystork.com address — the private address shown on each person's record. When your parent's cardiologist, primary care doctor, or hospital emails records to that address, they file into a searchable health timeline automatically. No upload. No scanning. The clinic already knows how to send email. Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.

Yes. Family Stork's AI lets you ask questions directly about any person's health timeline. What vaccines did my daughter get last year? What was my father's blood pressure reading at his last cardiology visit? What medications is he currently on? Ask the record; the record answers — drawing on everything that has been emailed or added to that person's timeline.
Each person has a private address shown on their record. When your parent's cardiologist emails a visit summary or lab result to that address, it files automatically into the health timeline. No action needed on your end. Ask your parent's doctors to use the address on the record when they send visit notes — most clinics that already send email to patients are happy to use a direct address.
Yes. You can invite other family members — siblings, a spouse, a trusted helper — to see a person's record. Each invited person sees only what you choose to share. The private email address stays with the record; helpers don't own or manage the account.
No. Family Stork is built for every person — a child from birth, yourself, or a parent you help care for. Every person gets their own private address and their own health story. A parent caring for young children and an aging parent can have separate timelines for each family member, all in one place. Always consult your doctor for any health questions; Family Stork is for keeping and organizing records, not for medical advice.
