Medical records apps, compared honestly.
Five apps that promise to keep your medical records in one place, side by side on the things that decide whether you will still be using one in a year: how records get in, whether an AI can actually answer questions from them, family profiles, export, privacy, and what it costs. Facts from each vendor's own site, checked November 2026.
App screenshotFour questions sort the whole category
Can records get in without retyping them? Portal connections (MyChart and the like), photo scans, PDF uploads and records requests are what make an app fill up; manual entry means it stays empty. Does the AI read your records, or just chat? An assistant grounded in your own labs, notes and prescriptions is a different product from a general chatbot. Can it hold a family? Most records are kept by the person caring for a parent or a child. Can you leave? PDF or spreadsheet export, and a plain statement about HIPAA and where data lives. The tables below answer those four for each app, in the vendor's own words where it counts. Our AI health assistant page explains how ours is grounded.

Straight answers
Is "RecordsAI" the same as My Medical Records?
People who search for "records ai" or "recordsai" often land here, and our app is listed in the App Store and Google Play as My Medical Records.ai. The domain recordsai.app shows a one-line placeholder page with no product, and no medical-records app by that name exists in either store as of November 2026. If you were looking for an AI that reads your own medical records, that is what My Medical Records does.
What about MedRecords AI, Health Narrator and medicalrecords.com?
They solve different problems. MedRecords AI is record review and chronology software priced per page for legal and insurance work. Health Narrator is a UK tool that builds chronologies from records for clinicians and medico-legal experts. medicalrecords.com is a request service that obtains your records from a US provider for a fee per provider and delivers a download; it is not an app that keeps and organizes them. None of the three is a personal health record app, so they are not in the tables.
Which app should a family caregiver pick?
One that holds more than one person's records and lets records in without retyping. In the tables that means My Medical Records or OneRecord; Google Health Premium syncs only your own records, and the two iPhone-only apps either lack family profiles or keep everything on one phone.
Does an AI health assistant replace a doctor?
No, and no app in this comparison claims it does. The useful question is whether the assistant answers from your own records (a lab trend, when a medication was started, what a note said) or only from general knowledge. Ours is grounded in your records; Google's Coach summarizes synced records and is labelled not for medical purposes.
