Health Vault & Profiles: Track Your Family's Health Over Time

A single lab result tells you very little. A hemoglobin of 12.8 g/dL is either perfectly normal or a significant drop, depending entirely on what it was six months ago. Medicine is longitudinal. Health is a story over time. Medyra's Health Vault is built on this idea.

With the Personal and Family plans, you can now create health profiles for every member of your household, track key biomarkers across months and years, and walk into every appointment with a complete, structured history, automatically included in any doctor summary you generate.

What is the Health Vault?

The Health Vault is a private, encrypted store of longitudinal health data for you and your family. Each time you upload a lab report, Medyra reads the values and stores them against your profile. Over time, it builds a timeline, a visual chart showing how each biomarker has moved, with reference lines marking the normal range.

The eight biomarkers Medyra currently tracks automatically are:

Medyra reads these values directly from uploaded reports. You can also add values manually if you have a printed result and want to include it.

What are Health Profiles?

A Health Profile is a named record for one person. Each profile has its own timeline, its own biomarker history, and its own colour code so you can tell them apart at a glance. You can set the relationship, Myself, Partner, Child, Parent, which helps Medyra contextualise the data.

Here is how profiles work by plan:

How to use it, step by step

Why longitudinal data changes everything

Most people interact with their health data exactly once, when they receive a result and panic, or receive a result and ignore it. Neither response is particularly useful. Context is what turns a number into information.

Consider a ferritin of 18 µg/L. It is technically within the normal range (15–150). But if your ferritin was 85 µg/L last year, a drop to 18 is a significant trend worth discussing. Your GP may not notice this unless they have access to the previous value, and in Germany, where patients often switch between practices or see multiple specialists, that continuity is frequently lost.

With the Health Vault, Medyra surfaces this automatically. If your ferritin has dropped more than 10% since your first recorded reading, you will see a warning in the insight box below the chart:

That kind of contextual alert does not happen when you read a PDF in isolation. It requires memory. The Health Vault gives Medyra, and you, that memory.

Managing health for a whole family

The Family plan supports up to five profiles. In practice this is designed for households where one person, usually a parent or caregiver, manages the medical administration for everyone.

Common uses:

• Parent tracking a child's iron levels, common in families with children on restrictive diets or with diagnosed anaemia
• Adult child managing an elderly parent's health, uploading their lab reports and generating structured German summaries before GP appointments
• Couples tracking chronic conditions together, one partner with diabetes, one with a thyroid condition; each has their own profile
• Anyone who attends appointments with a family member, having the history at your fingertips means you can answer questions on their behalf accurately

Privacy and data security

Health data in the Vault is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM field-level encryption. This means that even if our database were compromised, the data would be unreadable without the encryption keys. We do not sell, share, or use your health data for advertising. It is yours.

You can delete a profile at any time. Deletion removes all associated biomarker history permanently. Read more in our data security guide.
