Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. You can request a copy of your data or request complete data removal at any time.
