Why this exists
Right now, your health story lives in text messages.
You roll an ankle at practice. You text a parent a photo. Two days later it still hurts, and nobody can say exactly when it started, what it looked like on day one, or whether the swelling got better or worse. By the appointment, the story is a guess.
myhelp.health is the step before the clinic. You talk it through in a chat the moment it happens, come back with short updates as it changes, get plain-language self-care guidance, and — when you choose to — turn the chats you pick into a personal medical record (PMR): one summary, or a QR code, that a parent or provider can read in ten seconds.
Chat it through
What happened, where it hurts, how bad, what you notice.
Follow it
Come back over days. Your chats build a timeline.
Make a PMR
Pick the chats to include, then share a summary or QR code.
Built for 13 and up
Thirteen is when many states let you hold parts of your own health record, and when your body starts changing fastest. That's the right moment to learn the habit of observing and documenting — the same skill that makes you a clear communicator in every appointment for the rest of your life. Schools can fold it into health and PE; providers can read it instead of a clipboard.
Where this is going
Every record system today starts the moment you become a patient. A medical health record (MHR) is the chart an institution keeps about you. We think the more important record starts earlier — when you're still just a person noticing something. That's the personal medical record (PMR): built from your own chats, holding the observations, patterns, and lifestyle context only you can see, and controlled by you rather than by a clinic.
Do that for a few years starting at thirteen and something compounds. You learn what your body does under stress, before a season, after a bad week of sleep. You get ahead of patterns instead of explaining them in hindsight. Your pediatrician gets ten seconds of real history instead of a clipboard. Your parents get clarity instead of a cliffhanger text. That's the whole vision: health cognition, owned by the person it belongs to.
Words we use
- Personal Medical Record (PMR)
- The record you own and build yourself, out of your own chats — what you felt, when it started, how it changed. You decide what goes in it and who ever sees it.
- Medical Health Record (MHR)
- The chart a clinic or hospital keeps about you. It starts the moment you become a patient, and the institution controls it. Your PMR comes before that, and stays yours.
- Sentient
- A person learning their own health and wellness patterns so they can act early and speak clearly to a provider.
- Caregiver
- A parent or other adult supporting a sentient or patient — here, the person you share a summary with.
- Health care provider (HCP)
- The pediatrician, dentist, allergist, or nurse who reads your summary instead of reconstructing it from memory.
