MyParentHQ is an iPhone app that helps adult children organize a parent's medications, allergies, appointments, and emergency contacts in one place — ready to hand to a nurse when it matters. Family Stork takes a different approach: every person gets one private address clinics already know how to use. Visit summaries, discharge papers, and lab results arrive from any provider and file themselves — no gathering required. Both serve adult children caring for aging parents. The difference is who does the work of collecting the record.
MyParentHQ is a caregiver command center. You (or a sibling) enter your parent's medications, allergies, conditions, appointments, care notes, and emergency contacts. Done carefully, it becomes a single source of truth you can hand to a nurse or share with a sibling. Hospital Mode shows it in large text in the ER. The Emergency Packet assembles the essentials in one tap. It's thoughtfully designed for the moment of crisis — but the record only contains what someone in the family put there.
Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline built around a single mechanic: every person gets one private address — the private Family Stork address shown on the person's record. Give it to any clinic, hospital, or lab. When they send a visit summary, discharge paper, or lab result, it files into the timeline automatically. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn. Records arrive from every provider — the small primary care office, the specialist across town, the hospital system across the state — without anyone in the family lifting a finger to collect them.
Every person in Family Stork gets one private address — the private Family Stork address shown on the person's record. Give it to your parent's cardiologist, primary care doctor, hospital, and physical therapist. Each one sends visit summaries, test results, and discharge papers to that address as they always would by email. Every document files into the timeline automatically.
"Your parents' records are scattered across every doctor they ever had. Bring them together." Start with the first piece of paper — snap it with your phone and the AI handles data entry. Ask the record a question: "When was Dad's last cardiology visit?" "What did the discharge summary say about his medications?" The record answers from real data.
Always consult your doctor for medical decisions. Family Stork is an organizational tool, not a medical service. Call 911 for emergencies.
The hard part of caring for an aging parent isn't usually the day-to-day — it's the moments when you suddenly need the right information and don't have it. What medications is she on? Did the discharge summary say anything about that follow-up? Which cardiologist was it — the one in the city or the other one?
MyParentHQ is designed for exactly those moments. If a family member has carefully entered medications, allergies, and emergency contacts, Hospital Mode can show a nurse exactly what they need from a phone screen. For families committed to maintaining that record by hand, it's a well-considered tool.
Family Stork addresses the same urgency but starts upstream: the problem isn't just retrieving the information in an emergency — it's having a complete, current record in the first place. When your parent's primary care doctor sends a visit summary to the private Family Stork address shown on your parent's record, it files automatically. When the cardiologist sends lab results, they file automatically. When the hospital sends discharge papers, they file automatically. No one in the family has to gather, transcribe, or update anything. The record is as current as the last appointment, always.
For medical decisions, consult your parent's healthcare team. Family Stork is an organizational tool. Call 911 in emergencies.
Every doctor, every hospital stay, discharge papers, medication list, emergency card — one record every sibling can see. Start their record. Give the first clinic the private address. Records arrive from there.
Every child gets their own timeline from birth — checkups, vaccines, growth, milestones. School and camp forms ready in one tap. The record goes with the child when they turn 18.
One health story for a new doctor, a second opinion, a move, or a new insurer. Your whole history, organized and ready. Ask it anything.
The family invites helpers and controls exactly what they can see. The emergency card is always accessible. Helpers never own or manage the record — the family does.
MyParentHQ is a thoughtfully designed tool for families committed to maintaining their parent's medical information by hand. If your family has a disciplined person ready to keep it current — entering new medications after each appointment, updating the allergy list, adding new providers — it can be a genuinely useful emergency reference. Feature details are based on publicly available information as of November 2026 and may change.
Family Stork is built for families who don't want the burden of collecting records manually — and who want a complete record, not just the essentials they remembered to enter. Every person gets one private address. Every clinic sends records to it. The timeline builds itself from every provider, forever. "Your parents' records are scattered across every doctor they ever had." Family Stork brings them together — automatically. One health story per person. One email address every clinic already knows how to use.
Yes. Some families use Family Stork to build the full record as clinics send documents, and separately maintain quick-access emergency info in another tool. Family Stork also includes an emergency card — medications, allergies, emergency contacts — that's printable, shareable, and always current because it draws from the record itself. Ask your doctor what combination makes sense for your situation.
Yes. The email mechanic works with any clinic that can send an email — which is every clinic. The small primary care practice, the specialist across town, the hospital system across the state — if they can send a visit summary by email, it files into the timeline. No shared EHR system required, no portal integration needed.
Yes. The family controls access. Siblings and designated helpers can see the record — documents, medications, emergency card — based on what the family chooses to share. Nothing is visible by default; access is an explicit family decision. Hired caregivers and home aides can be given limited access.
$99 per year, or about $10 per month. Your entire family — children, aging parents, your own record — is covered in one plan. See pricing details.
Family Stork is a web-based app — it works on any device with a browser. The private email address mechanic works from any device or no device: clinics send records to the address the same way they send any email, and the timeline builds regardless of which device your family uses.
Give any clinic the private Family Stork address shown on your parent's record. They send records; the timeline builds itself. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn.
