Both give you an email address for medical records. That's where the similarity ends. Patientic asks you to forward emails into it. Family Stork gives clinics an address they email directly — no forwarding, no setup, nothing for you to remember to do.
Patientic gives you a forwarding address at @inbox.patientic.app. When you get a lab result in your regular inbox, you forward it to that address and Patientic files it. That's a real improvement over manual filing — but you still have to take an action every single time a record arrives.
Family Stork gives your child one private @familystork address. You hand it to your pediatrician, your allergist, the urgent care — once. After that, when the office finishes a visit, they email the summary to that address. It files itself. No forwarding. No inbox-checking. No remembering.

Patientic's approach works — but it requires you to be the connector between your clinic's email and your record. When the pediatrician sends a visit summary to your Gmail, you forward it to Patientic. When the lab sends results, you forward those too. Every record requires a deliberate step from you.
Most parents are good at this for a week or two. Life happens. A result arrives on a busy Tuesday. You mean to forward it later. Six months later, your child's record is missing three lab results and a specialist visit.
Family Stork removes that step entirely. The clinic has your child's address. They send directly to it. Whether you're traveling, at work, or just having a hectic day — the record files itself.
You're an adult managing your own records and are comfortable setting up forwarding rules. You have a small number of providers and a manageable volume of incoming medical email. You prefer to review and approve every record before it files.
You're managing health records for one or more children — with pediatricians, specialists, dentists, and urgent care all in the mix. You want a timeline that builds itself from birth. You want the clinic to be the sender, not you. You want to ask the record questions and get real answers.
Yes — Patientic allows you to add family members, including children, under your account. The difference is that managing a child's records still requires you to forward each document you receive. Family Stork is designed around the clinic-direct model from the start, with a separate @familystork address per person and a timeline built for pediatric milestones from birth.
Family Stork takes this a step further. The @familystork address isn't a forwarding inbox you fill from your Gmail — it's the address clinics email directly. You give it to your pediatrician the way you'd give them a phone number. They put it in the system; records come to it without any action on your part.
Most clinics can email records — it's a standard function in any EHR system. If a specific provider won't, Family Stork also lets you photograph paper records and upload portal exports manually. The @familystork address handles the majority; the manual path handles edge cases.
No. Every person in your family gets their own @familystork address and their own timeline — children, adults, aging parents. One account, one dashboard, everyone's story in one place.
$99 per year — or about $10 a month. That covers your whole family.
Give any clinic your child's private @familystork address — once. They send records; the timeline builds itself. No forwarding. No uploads. Nothing to remember.
