Your health record, in your hands.
MediBuddy is a decentralized electronic health record platform. Patients own and control their medical file, and share it securely with the doctors they choose — protected by blockchain and supported by AI.
From records held about you to a record that's yours.
Centralized health records
- Patients have limited control over their own data
- One central store creates security vulnerabilities
- Hard for different providers to share information
MediBuddy, decentralized
- The patient sits at the centre and controls access
- Decentralized storage with strong encryption
- Interoperable, so records move with the patient
Everything a patient-centred record needs.
Patient ownership
You hold your medical file and decide who can see it — and for how long.
Blockchain security
Records are kept on decentralized storage, with no single central database to breach.
Robust encryption
Medical data is encrypted to protect it in storage and when it is shared.
Direct patient–doctor communication
Talk to your doctors directly about the records you've shared with them.
AI-derived insights
Artificial intelligence offers preliminary insights to help patients understand their data.
Interoperable
Built on interoperable communication protocols so information flows between providers.
The architecture behind MediBuddy.
The platform's design rests on four building blocks described in the research.

Better for patients. Easier for doctors.
For patients
One secure place for your whole medical history, under your control.
- See all your records in one app
- Decide exactly who can access them
- Carry your history to any doctor
For doctors & clinics
Faster access to the information you need, shared with the patient's consent.
- Complete history, shared by the patient
- Direct communication with patients
- Less time chasing records between providers
Shaped by real user testing.
The research reports lessons from initial user testing and the challenges met during development — and MediBuddy is designed around them.
What we're delivering
- Greater patient control over records
- Stronger security for health data
- Better access to information
- Direct patient–doctor communication
What we take seriously
- AI insights are preliminary and support, not replace, medical advice
- Lessons from user testing guide ongoing design
- Development challenges are addressed openly as the platform grows

Frequently asked questions
What is MediBuddy?
A decentralized electronic health record platform that gives patients control over their medical file and lets them share it securely with their doctors.
Who owns my health record?
You do. MediBuddy is designed so patients control their records and decide who can access them.
How is my data protected?
Records are kept on decentralized, blockchain-based storage and protected with robust encryption, avoiding a single central database.
What does the AI do?
It provides preliminary insights from your health data to help you understand it. These insights support — and never replace — advice from your doctor.
Can my doctor see everything?
Only what you choose to share. You can grant and remove access to your record.
