A shared patient record for outpatient care

From paper prescriptions to a shared patient record.

MedFile connects patient history, digitised prescriptions and follow-up. Doctors keep writing on paper. Patients leave with clear instructions and reminders.

Works alongside your hospital’s existing systems.

The problem

A consultation that begins from memory.

When records live on separate slips, prescriptions and reports, each visit starts with rebuilding the history. A shared record helps the next care team pick up where the last one left off.

Scattered records
Patient history is spread across registration slips, prescriptions and reports. The next doctor has to put it back together.
Ongoing care
People living with long-term conditions need continuity across visits, departments and care teams.
Missed follow-ups
Once a patient leaves, paper alone cannot show whether medicines were taken or a follow-up was completed.
How a visit works

One visit. A shared record.

The doctor keeps writing on paper, exactly as today. MedFile works before the consultation and after it.

One record, two sides

A hospital workspace for staff. A phone app the patient owns.

The hospital side
The history is ready before the patient sits down

Doctors open a verified snapshot — allergies, current medicines, conditions, recent results — the moment the patient grants access. It runs in a browser, on the phones and computers the hospital already has.

The record goes home as structure, not as paper

A structured medication list, clear times and reminders travel home with the patient. Records remain available offline and sync when the connection returns.

Consent, privacy, compliance

The patient holds the key. The system keeps the log.

Patient consent for every access. A doctor reaches a record only through a code the patient's own phone issues — and sessions expire on their own.
Revocable at any moment. The patient can end a doctor's access from their phone, mid-visit, with one button.
A full audit trail, visible to the patient. Every access is recorded and shown in the patient's own app.
Administrators cannot open patient records. Not a policy — a structural property of the system, unless the patient permits it.
Verified clinical access. Doctor verification requirements are reviewed for each deployment.
Consent and accountability by design Local requirements are reviewed with each pilot partner.

Founding pilots

Start with one department. Agree the plan together.

For hospital leaders, department heads and care teams. There is no cost to evaluate a pilot, and personal use is free. We agree the scope, duration and review criteria with your team before starting.

  1. Share your workflow

    Tell us the department, typical patient volume and the person we should contact.

  2. Agree a focused pilot

    Choose a clinical or administrative lead. Together we set the duration, setup needs and measures of success.

  3. Try it, then review it

    Your team tests the workflow and shares feedback. We review record completeness, follow-up use and staff experience together.
