How to organise your family's medical records

1. One place per person

Give each family member their own folder or record. Mixing everyone's papers is how a parent's report ends up in a child's file.

2. Keep these first

• Allergies, long-term conditions and current medicines (one page per person).
• Blood group, ABHA number and insurance details.
• The last two years of lab reports, discharge summaries and scan reports.
• Vaccination records for children and older adults.

3. Digitise and name files clearly

Photograph or scan each paper and name it with the date, the person and the test, such as "2026-03-14 Papa HbA1c". In CuraVault, upload the photo: it reads the values, you check them, and each one is explained and tracked over time.

4. Share safely

Share only what a doctor needs, for as long as they need it. QueroCura share links need a PIN, expire on their own and can be switched off; a hospital sees nothing until you say yes.

5. Make it a habit

Add every new report the day you receive it, and review each person's one-page summary before a visit.
