Health Record

I can never remember what the doctor actually said.

Keep your family’s health story together. Patches turns letters, photos and spoken notes into a dated record, organised by person—ready for the next appointment.

Keep the record

Start with your own details. Share when you choose.

Meet Alice, Finn and Robin Page. Three fictional stories showing how a family health record can help in different moments.

01 / CATCH THE DETAILS

Less to remember.
More remembered.

The letter on the kitchen counter. The detail you meant to write down. Give them a home.

Photograph a letter, say a quick note, or connect a health folder in Google Drive or OneDrive. Patches reads the details into your health timeline, with documents filed alongside the entries they belong to.

  • Save a thought while it’s fresh, with voice or a photo.
  • Bring the health documents you already keep into your record.
  • Open the original when you need the exact wording.

THREE WAYS TO KEEP THE DETAILS

  1. 1

    Snap the letter

    Capture the appointment letter or result in front of you.

  2. 2

    Say the small things

    Log a symptom, an update or a question for next time.

  3. 3

    Connect your folder

    Google Drive or OneDrive. Your documents become a useful timeline.

Choose whichever fits the moment.

02 / ALICE’S STORY

Remember the whole story.
Not just the last visit.

Alice’s asthma is usually controlled. Her record keeps the quieter months and the flare-ups together.

A summer flare-up, a GP visit, then symptoms settling. At her twice-yearly chest-specialist review, Alice can look back at what happened, when it changed and the medication notes alongside it.

The useful part is the history between appointments.

03 / FINN’S STORY

The everyday records.
Ready when you need them.

Finn has no ongoing health condition. There’s still plenty worth keeping.

His vaccination history, the last GP visit and a note that an earache settled. When school asks for a record, his family knows where to look.

  • Choose Finn to find his history without everyone else’s notes.
  • Browse vaccinations, appointments and other categories.
  • Add tags such as “school” to group records for your own needs.

04 / ROBIN’S STORY

Keep track when
there’s more going on.

Robin is waiting for a biopsy result. The blood report has arrived, and the follow-up is booked.

The first concern, the referral, the biopsy and the reports belong to one investigation. Keeping them together makes it easier to see what has happened and find the questions for the next appointment.

See the next date in the record and turn on reminders. Robin’s biopsy result is still pending in this fictional example.
