Health Wallet: Patient-Controlled Medical Records

The Problem

In today’s healthcare systems, medical information is often scattered across hospitals, labs, and clinics, making it difficult for patients to access their complete health history. Sharing information with doctors requires manual steps, printed documents, or slow data requests. This fragmentation leads to delays in care, redundant testing, and a poor patient experience.

‍

Solution

Life Value developed developed a mobile-first medical records app for patients, putting them back in control of their electronic health data. By integrating with Fasten Health and supporting FHIR-based EHR systems, Health Wallet gives users a clean, intuitive timeline of their medical history and the ability to share selected records instantly with any Fasten-connected provider.

• Privacy First: By leveraging the HL7 FHIR standard on our HIPAA and GDPR-compliant infrastructure, we ensure all medical records remain under the patient’s direct control and are only shared with explicit consent.‍
• Unified view of medical history, including lab results, interventions, allergies, medications, and more ‍
• Granular sharing controls: patients choose what to share, with whom, and for how long‍
• Real-time sync: automatic updates from linked health systems

The entire app was developed and delivered in just two months, allowing us to begin early pilot testing with users and healthcare providers. This fast turnaround reflects our commitment to speed without sacrificing compliance, quality, or usability
