Frequently Asked Questions

About MedicalHistory.app

What is MedicalHistory.app?

MedicalHistory.app is a web application that helps you upload medical records, extract lab results from documents, and track biomarkers over time in one place. Learn how to track your medical history end to end.

Who is MedicalHistory.app for?

MedicalHistory.app is designed for people who want to keep their medical records organized and understand their health data over time. It can be useful if you receive lab test results from different clinics, want to track biomarkers such as cholesterol or glucose, keep personal copies of medical reports, and prefer having your health information in one place.

Can I upload PDF lab reports?

Yes. You can upload PDF lab reports and other medical documents. The app analyzes the document, extracts lab values, and organizes them into a structured timeline.

Is MedicalHistory.app a medical service?

No. MedicalHistory.app is not a healthcare provider and does not provide diagnosis or treatment. The platform helps organize medical records so users can review their data before consulting healthcare professionals.

Biomarker tracking

What is a biomarker in a blood test?

A biomarker is a measurable value in a lab report that reflects a biological process, such as glucose regulation, lipid transport, iron status, or kidney filtration.

How does biomarker tracking work?

When lab results are extracted from your documents, the app organizes biomarkers such as HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, glucose, or ferritin into a timeline so you can monitor how values change over time.

Why should biomarkers be tracked over time?

Single results are snapshots. Repeated measurements show direction, stability, and change patterns, which usually provide more useful context than isolated values.

How often should blood biomarkers be tested?

Testing frequency depends on the marker and your clinical context. In general, consistency matters: compare values using similar testing conditions and review trend direction with your clinician.

Can lab results from different clinics be compared?

Yes, but comparison is more reliable when units are standardized and reference ranges are recorded. Differences between labs can affect interpretation, so trend review should include source context.

What is the difference between a lab result and a biomarker trend?

A lab result is one measurement at one point in time. A biomarker trend is the pattern formed by multiple measurements over months or years.

Data and privacy

Is my medical data secure?

MedicalHistory.app is designed to store your medical records securely and give you control over your own data. Documents are processed only to extract structured health information, and access to your account is restricted to you. Read more in the Security section of our Privacy Policy.

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes. You can delete individual documents at any time from your dashboard. To request a full export of your data or complete account deletion, email [email protected] from your account's email address — we confirm and complete these requests within 30 days. See Your rights in our Privacy Policy for the full list of rights you can exercise.

Who sees the documents I upload?

The content of documents you upload is sent to Google's Gemini API to extract lab values, and stored using our database and file-storage provider, Supabase. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising, and we don't share it with anyone else. See Who we share data with in our Privacy Policy for the full list of service providers we use.

Is MedicalHistory.app HIPAA compliant?

MedicalHistory.app is not a HIPAA-covered entity — you upload your own records rather than a healthcare provider sending us data on your behalf, so HIPAA doesn't directly apply. We still use industry-standard security practices to protect your data. See Security in our Privacy Policy for details.

Is there a minimum age to use MedicalHistory.app?

Yes. You must be at least 18 years old to create a MedicalHistory.app account. See Eligibility in our Terms of Use and Children's data in our Privacy Policy.
