MedKid is an end-to-end encrypted family health records app built in Europe, with EU data residency and AI-powered search across your stored documents. Family Stork takes a different approach: one private email address per child, so clinics can send records directly and the timeline builds itself — no uploads, no manual entry, no clinic integrations required.
MedKid is a secure storage app. You take control of your family's health data: end-to-end encryption, local processing for AI features, EU data centers compliant with GDPR. You upload the records — photos, PDFs, prescriptions, lab results — and MedKid stores and searches them privately. Family sharing lets household members access records across devices.
Family Stork is a self-populating health timeline. The central mechanic is the email address: every family member gets a private @families.familystork.com address. Any clinic, lab, or hospital can send records to that address — the same way they already send emails to patients — and the health timeline builds itself. No uploads. No clinic has to learn a new system. The record grows automatically as care happens.
End-to-end encryption. E2E encryption with device-local private keys — MedKid cannot read your data. Built on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
EU data residency. All data stored in GDPR-compliant EU data centers. Important for families in or moving to Europe.
AI-powered local search. Search across text and photos using on-device AI text recognition — no cloud processing for AI features.
Family sharing (Family+). Instant sync across family devices with secure key exchange.
iOS and Android. Native mobile app for both platforms.
Automatic record intake. Clinics email records to your child's @families.familystork.com address — they file themselves. No uploads needed.
Lifelong timeline from birth. Checkups, vaccines, growth, allergies, milestones, specialist visits — one continuous record across every provider.
AI data entry from paper. Snap paper records — dates, measurements, and details are extracted automatically.
Ask the record questions. "When was her last DTaP?" "What did the allergist say in 2024?" Answers from the actual timeline.
Transfers at 18. The health story becomes theirs when they're ready.
US-based. Purpose-built for the US clinic ecosystem and its workflows.
MedKid gives you tight control over what enters the record. That's a meaningful advantage for families who want to be deliberate about what data they store and where. If you prefer to curate your child's health data manually, with strong cryptographic guarantees about who can see it, MedKid's model makes sense.
The trade-off: you have to upload everything. Every document, every visit, every lab result has to be photographed, scanned, or downloaded and added to MedKid manually. That works — but it requires consistent effort across years and dozens of provider encounters. And if you don't upload it promptly, it slips.
Family Stork's email mechanic removes that friction. The clinic sends the record the same day as the visit, the same way they'd send any other patient communication. It files itself. The timeline stays current without a parent having to remember to upload anything.
MedKid was built for a European context: EU data residency, GDPR compliance, and a team based in Poland. For families based in the EU — or who want their child's health data stored under EU law — that's a genuine advantage.
Family Stork is designed for the US healthcare ecosystem. The email mechanic works with how US clinics and labs already communicate with patients — standard email, no technical integration required on the clinic side. For families in the United States, Family Stork's network effects compound over time: the more US clinics email records, the more complete the timeline becomes.

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.
Start your child's record — freeMedKid is primarily a clinical decision-support tool — pediatric calculators, dosing references, and growth charts used by healthcare providers. While parents can access some features, it's designed for clinical use rather than personal health record management.
MedKid is a reference tool, not a personal health record. It doesn't receive records from your child's clinics or maintain a longitudinal timeline of your child's actual health history. Family Stork does: every visit summary, vaccine record, and lab result arrives automatically when providers email your child's private @familystork address.
MedKid answers clinical questions ("what's the normal weight range for a 6-month-old?"). Family Stork answers personal ones ("what did my child weigh at her 6-month checkup, and what did the pediatrician note?"). One is a reference. The other is the record.
Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month. It holds a complete health timeline for every child in your family, from birth through adulthood, with records arriving automatically when clinics email your child's @familystork address.
