Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.
KeptWell calls itself "your family's medical binder, replaced" — you upload pathology reports, discharge papers, and lab results, and KeptWell's AI reads and flags what matters, then shares it with the family. As of November 2026, KeptWell positions itself as a layer above patient portals: import MyChart records, upload non-portal documents, and record audio from appointments. Its AI reads what you upload, flags findings, and lets everyone in the family circle see the same picture. KeptWell is free for families and has an iOS app.
Family Stork's model is one step earlier: give every family member a private email address shown on their record, and any clinic can send records directly. The binder fills itself. No uploading, no scanning, nothing for your clinic to learn. Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.
KeptWell is built for families navigating serious illness — a cancer diagnosis, an ongoing treatment plan, a loved one's complex care. You upload pathology reports, discharge papers, even voicemails from the oncology nurse. KeptWell's AI reads the whole thing, flags what matters (lab trends, medication changes, abnormal findings), and gives everyone in the family circle a shared view. It's genuinely useful when the document pile is overwhelming and you need AI to make sense of dense medical PDFs.
As of October 2026, KeptWell is free for families, has an iOS app (iPhone and iPad), and offers a live demo you can explore without signing up. Its homepage leads with oncology — reading pathology reports, tracking platelet counts, sharing findings across siblings in different cities. It connects to MyChart and Apple Health for portal imports alongside manual uploads. The foundational step is still you, gathering and uploading documents. Every record that reaches KeptWell arrives because someone scanned, attached, forwarded, or imported it from a portal.
Family Stork changes that step. Every person gets a private @familystork email address. When your child's pediatrician, specialist, or lab emails records to that address, they file into a searchable health timeline automatically. No upload. No portal login. The clinic already knows how to send email. Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use.

If you're searching for a MyChart alternative, you've probably hit the same wall: MyChart belongs to one hospital. A family with kids at one pediatrician, a parent seeing a cardiologist, and a grandmother at a different health system ends up with three separate MyChart logins — none of them talking to each other.
KeptWell's approach: import records from each MyChart portal into one hub. Upload everything else manually. The hub reads it all, flags trends, and shares the view across your family circle. It works — but the work of pulling records out of each portal is still on you.
Family Stork's approach: skip the portals entirely. Every family member gets a private email address shown on their record. The pediatrician, the cardiologist, the lab — each sends records to that address. They file themselves. MyChart becomes optional for routine visit records because the records arrive directly.

No. Your clinic or lab emails records to your child's private @familystork address. For paper documents, you can snap a photo and Family Stork's AI does the data entry. Either way, the goal is the same: records arrive without you hunting for them.
Yes — Family Stork's AI lets you ask anything the record contains. When did my son's pediatrician last note his peanut allergy? What vaccines does the school need? What were his growth measurements at 18 months? Ask the record; the record answers.
Many clinics already send visit summaries and lab results by email — the same email your provider uses to send appointment reminders. If your clinic prefers a portal, you can download documents from the portal and snap them into Family Stork. Ask your pediatrician about their preferred method for sending records — many are happy to email when you give them a direct address.
Yes. Family Stork is built around the family timeline from birth — checkups, growth charts, vaccine records, milestones, allergies. Every child in your family gets their own private email address and their own health story. Ask your pediatrician to send visit summaries to your child's @familystork address.
