Your own, or a dependant you manage from the same phone.

What the record holds

Five kinds of record, one place

Everything a patient captures, and everything a practitioner reads when it is shared. Scroll the panel, or pick a scope. The record shown is an example, not anyone's data.

    01 Vital signsCaptured at home or in clinic

    Numbers that only mean something next to a range: what was measured, when, and whether it sat inside the normal band. A home device and a clinic machine both land here the same way.

    • 3measures today
    • 25 Auglast taken
    • 1above range
    • 1practitioner can see them
    Blood pressure118/76mmHg ● In range ref 90–120 / 60–80 mmHg · recorded 25 Aug
    Heart rate72bpm ● In range ref 60–100 bpm · resting
    Body temperature38.4°C ▲ Above range ref 36.1–37.2 °C · recheck in 4–6 hours

    The practitioner sees the same numbers with the same ranges, and the flag before they prescribe.

    02 Symptom trackerWritten between visits, in your own words

    What you felt, on the day you felt it, in your own words. Tags turn a run of separate entries into something searchable, so a pattern shows up as a pattern instead of a memory.

    23 Aug · 21:40 Mild headache from late afternoon

    Eased after water and rest. Slept normally.

    HeadacheMildEvening
    19 Aug · 07:05 Slept badly, warm overnight

    Woke twice. Took paracetamol at 05:00.

    SleepFever

    A practitioner reads the pattern that was actually kept, not what is remembered in a ten minute consultation.

    03 Diagnosis and medicationWhat was found, and what was prescribed

    What a clinician found, and what they prescribed for it, kept together so the drug never sits on the page without the reason for it. Every line carries the name of the person who entered it.

    • 1medication current

    Current diagnosisChest congestion ● Under review entered by Dr. A. Otieno · 14 Mar 2026
    Amoxildose 2 ▲ Unit missing a bare number is not safe to act on: tablets, capsules or millilitres?

    Where the record is incomplete it says so, rather than presenting a number as if it were a full instruction.

    04 Diagnostic tests and analysisScans, labs, bloods, genomics, pathology

    Results that arrive as documents rather than numbers you type: imaging, laboratory work, bloods, pathology and genomics. Each keeps the lab that issued it and the date it was taken, and each is shared on its own.

    Sharing is per file. A practitioner opens what was granted and nothing else.

    05 Past medical historyWhat came before this year

    The things that stay true after the episode ends: allergies, operations, conditions that resolved, and the day the record itself opened. This is the part a stranger treating you in an emergency needs before anything else.

    History travels with the person, not with the clinic that happened to write it down.

    Our journey

    Where we are coming from

    Four years of building a record that belongs to the patient, not the building they happened to walk into. Every entry is something the platform shipped.

    1. 2022

      The platform is built

      Health profile, medical folders, symptom diary, appointments and the practitioner side ship.

      since May 2022
    2. 2023

      Care goes remote

      Video and chat teleconsultation, referrals and dependant records join the same file.

    3. 2024

      Chat reaches the patient

      Messaging opens on the patient side, so a conversation stays attached to the record.

    4. 2025

      The medical folder

      Folders, a practitioner directory and measured values such as BMI on the health profile.

    5. 2026

      Rebuilt around the record

      Patients, clinicians and facilities working from one entry, on a rebuilt platform.

    What our users say

    Patients, clinicians and founders on what changes when the record belongs to the person it is about.

    I have over time come to learn of MyRekod, an app that allows patients to keep their health info in one place. This saves lives and prevents misdiagnosis. Kaa rada na afya yako!

    Last year I started my life day 1 without my vocal cords. As I move forward I recognise why it is imperative I use my life to better inform medical innovation and demand a change in systems.

    There is a mismatch between what kills people and where the health industry invests its money. A system that starts from you is the system that closes it.

    Access is granted per file, never in bulk, and withdrawing it takes effect immediately. Your dependants' records sit under your account, not a stranger's. The ledger above is an example of the panel you get once you have a record.

    Read the privacy policy

    Start with one record

    Upload a single prescription, or log one symptom. The rest builds itself from there, and it is yours from the first entry.
