Why Backpack Health

Take charge

Guess what? Your health information actually belongs to you. You have a legal right to it, and we want to help you manage it in a way that makes the most sense for your life. But we understand that health and medical info can be confusing and even intimidating, so don't worry if you can't remember every past detail or aren't sure – just include what you think you know and then, if you want, discuss it with your provider and/or support system, you can all come to a better understanding together.

Keep things simple

All of the bits and pieces of scattered health stuff come together in one coherent system with Backpack Health. It’s organized and owned by you, the one it impacts the most. So, whether you need to keep track of mom’s medication list, view your chiropractor’s reports, or have your kids’ immunization records ready for school, you can do it all from Backpack Health.

Roam freely

No more three ring binders, no more filing cabinets, no more thumb drives (yes, those are still a thing). You can carry all of your health info and your loved ones’ info with you and access it wherever you go, even without an internet connection. Traveling in Spain? Hiking Annapurna? We’d like to go with you.

Be better together

When it comes to digital sharing, sometimes it’s unclear what’s being shared and with whom. For health information, it’s important that you know who’s seeing what. Backpack Health gives you control over how you share your info – share your full health story with a new provider, your last doctor’s notes with your acupuncturist, your kids’ medications and allergies with the babysitter, or your emergency info with your loved ones so that it’s there when you need it most. Whatever it looks like for you, Backpack Health lets you share in a meaningful and useful way.
