This is a great take.

If you were long, among other reasons.

Thanks for the kind words, tkiley! There are a number of great products out there to help people manage their medical data. But that's a big problem to tackle, and we're focused on one small piece of it—requesting medical records. In fact, our market often differs from folks who use a personal health record. Many of our users have been asked by their doctor, their insurance company, or a lawyer to gather and share their medical records and they just want help with that process.

Good question, hkiely! There are a number of great products out there to help people manage medical data—those are certainly two of them. Our focus at PatientBank right now is on just one piece of that problem: making sure people don't have to request their medical records over fax or in-person. What that means is that our market often differs from folks who use a personal health record. Many of our users have been asked by their doctor, their insurance company, or a lawyer to gather and share their medical records—sometimes even from just one specialist or hospital—and they want help doing so.

Thanks for the comment, kumarski! Excited to see a lot of awesome work being done here.

Great question! In the case that something happens to PatientBank or we go under, we guarantee that we'll continue to host users' medical data. It's also worth noting that we already make it really easy to export your medical records from PatientBank.
