PediaPal helps parents track vitals, medications, and symptoms for pediatrician visits. Family Stork holds the lifelong record underneath — every provider, every year, one timeline. Here's how they differ.
PediaPal is a child health monitor designed to help parents walk into every pediatrician appointment fully prepared. It tracks vitals — height, weight, head circumference, temperature, heart rate — manages medication schedules with reminders, and logs symptoms so you have a clear picture to share with the doctor.
Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline. It holds records from every provider, every clinic, every specialist your child has ever seen — paper records, portal exports, emailed summaries — all on one searchable timeline that starts at birth and transfers to your child at 18.
Vital tracking. Log height, weight, head circumference, temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen. Spot trends over time.
Medicine management. Record standalone doses, set schedules for ongoing prescriptions, and get clear reminders before a dose expires.
Symptom logging. Track symptoms as they appear, update severity, and add notes to share with your pediatrician.
Visit preparation. Walk into appointments with a detailed, accurate history of what's been happening at home.
Designed for parents. Simple interface focused on the things parents need to track between well-checks.
One timeline, all providers. Records from every clinic, hospital, and specialist — not just what you logged manually. The full picture across years and moves.
Paper + digital. Snap a photo of the vaccine card, the growth chart from the old clinic, the school physical form. AI reads dates, values, and details — no manual entry.
Records-inbox email. Give the address to any clinic. They send visit summaries; the timeline files them automatically.
Ask questions. "When was her last flu shot?" "What allergy was flagged at the specialist?" Answers grounded in your child's actual records.
Emergency card. One tap — shareable, printable, revocable. Allergies, medications, key contacts.
Ownership at 18. Your child walks into adulthood carrying their full health history.
PediaPal does something useful: it captures the details that happen between doctor visits. The fever that spiked at 2 AM, the medication dose you almost forgot, the rash that showed up Tuesday and was gone by Thursday. That granular, between-visit tracking makes the next appointment more productive.
Family Stork is after a different target: the records that accumulate over years. The immunization history from the pediatrician you left when you moved. The allergy test results from the out-of-network specialist. The growth measurements from three different clinics. The documents you need when a new provider asks "what's their medical history?"
One is a close-up lens on this week's health. The other is the wide-angle view of your child's whole story.
PediaPal is currently available on iPhone. If your co-parent or caregiver uses Android, they can't access the data directly.
Family Stork works in any browser. Both parents, a grandparent, and a babysitter can access the record from whatever device they have.
PediaPal relies on parents to log vitals, doses, and symptoms manually. Family Stork's AI reads photos of paper records and incoming clinic emails — and files the data without you typing it.
PediaPal and Family Stork solve different layers of the same challenge. PediaPal is excellent at day-to-day vitals and medication tracking — the details you bring to the pediatrician. Family Stork is the lifelong record underneath: every provider, every year, every document, searchable and owned by your family. If your concern is "I need to track this week's symptoms," PediaPal may help. If it's "I need one place that holds everything, forever" — that's Family Stork.
Every person in your family gets a private @families.familystork.com email address. Give it to your pediatrician — they send records to it, and the health story builds itself. Checkups, vaccines, growth, allergies — all filed automatically.
PediaPal provides pediatric reference content — growth percentiles, developmental milestones, and health education for parents. Family Stork is a personal health record system: it holds your child's actual clinical data — vaccine records, visit summaries, lab results, allergies — received automatically from the clinics that treat your child.
No. PediaPal is a reference and tracking tool; records are entered manually. Family Stork works differently: give your child's pediatrician a private @familystork email address once, and every visit summary arrives automatically. No uploads, no portal logins, nothing for the clinic to change.
Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month. It covers every child in your family on a single timeline, from birth until they're adults and ready to take ownership of their own health record.
Yes. PediaPal's reference content and growth tools complement Family Stork's clinical record-keeping. Many families use reference apps for educational context and Family Stork for the actual medical history — the record that follows the child from provider to provider, school to school, and year to year.
