User

A person aged 13 or older who registers for an account using a valid email and accesses Primary Record through their mobile phone or website at primaryrecord.app. A User can be a Profile Organizer or a Collaborator.

Profile Organizer

A User is designated as a Profile Organizer when they create their first Medical Profile to share. Each Primary Record User can be the Profile Organizer of one Medical Profile for free. A Profile Organizer can subscribe to add up to six Medical Profiles. As a Profile Organizer, the User also handles billing, sharing, transferring, and updating Collaborator permissions of Medical Profiles for viewing and editing.

Collaborator

A User who is invited to access a Medical Profile created by a Primary Organizer. Collaborators can view, edit, and/or comment on the Medical Profiles they are invited into. There are no limits to the number of Collaborators invited to a Medical Profile, and a Collaborator is not required to be a paying User.

Medical Profile

A Medical Profile is a digital binder or file folder for storing and organizing medical records for oneself or a family member in one place. In a Medical Profile, an Organizer can add health information, connect to patient portals, invite Collaborators to view or help keep the Medical Profile updated, and add Notes.

Homebase

A bottom menu feature that lets a User filter and see recent activities for selected Medical Profiles. Homebase acts as an activity feed, helping Users stay updated. It also offers a search to find when medical information was added or edited in selected Medical Profiles. A User or Collaborator can click on the activity message in Homebase to view further details and leave a comment.

Notes

A bottom menu navigation feature that allows Users to capture something being said or given to them quickly. Notes can capture text, images, and files and can be organized with tags such as 'Care Plan,’ 'Financial,' 'Legal,' 'Research,' or 'Symptoms’. Notes in this area of Primary Record are only visible to the User but can be moved to a Medical Profile to keep information organized and accessible to Collaborators who may need to view or comment on them.
