Sync.MD connects to patient portals and health networks to pull your medical records into one app. Family Stork gives every person a private email address — clinics send records to it, and the timeline builds itself. Both aim to centralize your health history. Here's how they differ.
Sync.MD is a record aggregator. It connects to supported patient portals — including MyChart — using your login credentials, then pulls available documents into the app. You can also scan paper records with OCR. The optional Sync.Sense AI can summarize and search your collected documents.
Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline. Every person gets one private @familystork email address. Give it to any clinic, lab, or hospital. They email records to it — visit summaries, test results, vaccine updates — and the timeline files them automatically. No portal logins, no credentials to manage, nothing for the clinic to learn.
Portal aggregation. Connects to MyChart and other supported patient portals to pull records automatically.
OCR scanning. Scan paper documents and search their contents.
AI summaries (Sync.Sense). Optional AI that summarizes complex medical documents and helps prepare for appointments.
Selective sharing. Share specific records with doctors, family, or caregivers.

One timeline, all providers. Records from every clinic, hospital, and specialist — not just portal-connected ones.
Built for families. Parents manage children's records. Ownership transfers at 18.
Paper + digital. Snap photos of paper records; the AI files dates, values, and details.
Ask your record. "When was her last flu shot?" Answers grounded in actual records.
Emergency card. One tap — shareable, printable, revocable.
Sync.MD is built as a personal health record — one person, one app. Managing records for multiple children means managing multiple sets of portal credentials, pulling from each child's separate portal accounts.
Family Stork is built for families from the start. Each family member gets their own timeline and their own @familystork email address. A parent manages all of them in one place. When a child turns 18, ownership transfers — they walk into adulthood carrying their full history.
The email approach also means no credentials to juggle. The pediatrician's front desk adds the @familystork address once. After that, records flow in automatically — no parent action required at each visit.
Both Sync.MD and Family Stork exist because health records are fragmented across providers, portals, and paper files. Both aim to put everything in one place. They just take different paths to get there:
Connect your portals, enter your credentials, and Sync.MD retrieves what's available. You're the one initiating — the app reaches out to each system on your behalf.
Give any provider your @familystork address. Records arrive as email — visit summaries, lab results, referral notes. The timeline organizes them without you lifting a finger after the initial setup.
Sync.MD is strong if you want to aggregate what patient portals already hold — especially if your providers are on supported networks like Epic's MyChart. Family Stork takes a different approach: one email address per person, records flowing in from any clinic that can send an email, a lifelong timeline built for families. If you're tired of managing portal logins for yourself and everyone you love, Family Stork organizes records for you automatically.
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.
