How MedStory Works

MedStory turns the medical paperwork you already have — lab reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries, scan reports, photos of handwritten notes — into an organized, searchable health record. No re-typing, no manual filing, no waiting for a hospital's app to catch up. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.

The short version

Upload a document. MedStory reads it and pulls out the medical details — test names, values, dates, diagnoses, medications — and turns them into structured data. That data lands in your personal vault, organized by date and by type, and you can search or filter it instantly. If you're managing care for a parent, partner, or child, you can link their vault to yours so their records show up alongside your own, without merging the two into one account. That's the whole mechanism. The rest of this page walks through each part in more detail.

Step by step

From upload to organized history

1

Upload Any Document

What counts as a document

If it's medical paperwork, MedStory can take it — lab reports, radiology/imaging summaries, prescriptions, discharge summaries, vaccination records, consultation notes — as a PDF, scan, or phone photo. You don't need to convert or clean anything up first. Handwritten prescriptions and slightly crooked phone photos are expected, not edge cases.

What happens on upload

The document is stored securely in your vault the moment you upload it, exactly as you gave it to us — the original file is always kept, so you're never relying on MedStory's interpretation alone. From there, it's queued for parsing.

MedStory Reads and Structures It

From PDF or photo to structured data

MedStory's AI reads the document and extracts the medical content — test names, results and units, reference ranges, dates, diagnoses, medications, dosages — and converts it into structured, chronological data. A blood report you uploaded becomes a set of values you can track over time. A prescription becomes a medication entry with a name, dose, and date.

Works no matter where the report came from

MedStory doesn't depend on your provider using any particular digital system. It works directly from the document you have, regardless of whether it came from a large hospital chain, a neighborhood clinic, or a lab you visited once. If you can get a PDF or take a photo of a printed report, MedStory can read it.

Everything Lives in Your Vault, Organized

Once parsed, a report takes its place in a vault that's built to be searched — and owned only by you.

Chronological and searchable

Once parsed, a document is placed on your health timeline automatically — no manual sorting, no naming conventions. Search across every document and extracted value: every cholesterol reading you've ever had, every prescription from the last year, every report from a specific doctor, in seconds.

Your vault, your ownership

This vault belongs to you. It isn't a shared family account everyone can see into by default, and it isn't a copy of your data sitting somewhere MedStory can repurpose. See Personal Vault for how that ownership model actually works.

Optional: Link a Family Member's VaultOptional — skip anytime

Linked, not merged

A lot of health record-keeping in India happens on behalf of someone else — a parent, spouse, child. Each person keeps their own individually-owned vault; you can link a family member's vault to yours (with their consent) to view and help manage their records from your own account. Linking is reversible and visible — not the same as merging two people's medical history into one account.
