## What is HealthScout?

WHY HEALTHSCOUT WORKS BETTER THAN GENERIC AI
Ask ChatGPT "What should I do about my headache?" and you'll get paragraphs covering every possible cause from dehydration to brain tumors. Ask HealthScout the same question and it does something different: it asks you follow-up questions first. Where is the pain? When did it start? What makes it worse? It uses your answers, along with whatever health records you've added, to provide an answer about YOU instead of a wall of possibilities.

This is how good healthcare conversations actually work. Understand the situation first, then advise. HealthScout was trained specifically to do this. Generic chatbots were not.

GET STARTED IN SECONDS
 My Added Records
 - Point your camera at any lab result, imaging report, or doctor's note
 - Upload from your camera roll, computer screen, or PDF
 - Start asking questions immediately

 Link Healthcare Providers
 - Connect through Apple Health to 10,000+ healthcare systems including Kaiser, Sutter Health, LabCorp, and Quest Diagnostics
 - Automatic updates whenever you have new visits or lab results
 - See trends across all your doctors and specialists
 - The more you connect, the smarter HealthScout gets

PRIVATE AND SECURE
 Unlike AI tools that train on your conversations, your health data stays encrypted and under your control.
 - Face ID/Touch ID protection keeps your records locked
 - End-to-end encrypted conversations
 - No email required, no account creation
 - We can't see your data and never train AI models on it

COMPLETE RECORDS, BETTER ANSWERS
Sometimes the health record your doctor looks at is incomplete or even incorrect. It might now show when you stopped a medication or is missing something from a doctor that doesn't use electronic health records. With HealthScout's "My Added Records" feature, you can note when you stopped or started medications, add symptoms you might not mention to your doctor, include lifestyle changes, or correct outdated information. Your corrections take priority over provider data, so HealthScout always works from your complete and corrected record.

PERFECT FOR
 - Understanding confusing lab results before your appointment
 - Asking as many follow-up questions as you need, without judgment
 - Preparing better questions for doctor visits
 - Filling out laborious medical intake forms
 - Staying informed about new treatments for your conditions
 - Juggling chronic conditions across multiple specialists

HealthScout is an educational tool, not a medical provider. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment decisions.

### 5/5 — Super useful app

*2026-06-10*

I really love HealthScout. It gives me plain language explanations of my personal medical situation. For example, I broke my ankle and had my 6 week checkup today. I didn’t understand the significance of the X-ray results. HS gave me a very clear explanation of how my healing is progressing.  It is much better than using generic AI since it uses your own health records, so it is personalized. But it’s not sharing your info with the big AI companies.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-12-02*

This app has really helped me with my lower back pain diagnosis. It has been very helpful alongside doctor’s guidance.

### 5/5 — Strongly Recommend this App

*2025-11-01*

By using HealthScout I have gained meaningful and helpful insights into my health that I didn’t have before. It’s fabulous how it provides such comprehensive and actionable answers to questions that I ask it and to questions that it comes up with, as though it’s reading my mind! I showed HealthScout to my doctor and she was also really impressed!

### 5/5 — Easy Update / Immediate Help

*2025-09-22*

I downloaded HealthScout and unfortunately my doctor’s office was not listed as a partner in Apple Health, so I just downloaded my last records from my health provider and uploaded them into HealthScout and it instantly read the records and immediately started giving me suggestions about my health.  It even asked me if I’d like it to provide me with a list of questions for my next doctor visit.  Very impressive so far!

### 5/5 — Actually felt confident with my doctor! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*2025-09-20*

Had a stubborn toe fungus for months and felt like my podiatrist wasn't listening. Used HealthScout to research my condition and prep questions before my next appointment. Game changer! For the first time I felt confident pushing back and having a real conversation about treatment options instead of just nodding along. Super easy to use and really helped me advocate for myself. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — great insight

*2025-09-18*

I love the way Health Scout gave me new perspectives on my medical tests and things to talk with my doctor about that he would have brought up. Super easy to use and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Finally, a health app that puts it all together!

*2025-09-18*

It's impressive how HealthScout considers your complete health picture. My "Wow!" moment came when HS  a medication I probably should have been taking for a while -- and now I am. Neither my doctor nor I had connected dots between various test results I'd gotten from different providers over time, but HealthScout spotted the pattern immediately. I contacted my doctor, he agreed it made sense, and I'm now on the med. HealthScout is exactly what you need when you're bouncing between different specialists who each only see part of your story.

As a developer, I really appreciate how HealthScout handles security. It pulls everything through Apple Health while keeping your data on your device, only sending encrypted snippets to AI when you ask questions. That architectural approach gives me confidence in using it with my health information.

## Frequently asked questions about HealthScout

### Is my health data secure with HealthScout?

HealthScout offers a monthly subscription for $7.99 and a yearly subscription for $79.99. Both plans include a 1-month free trial period.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-08

WATCH IT THINK
Start a new conversation and you'll see HealthScout's reasoning appear live, working through your labs, medications and history before it gives you an answer. That's what a purpose-built health AI model looks like when it works from your actual records instead of guessing at general advice.

SMARTER, MORE GROUNDED ANSWERS
We upgraded the AI model behind every response. Answers pull more precisely from your records, so what comes back is sharper and more specific to you.

FASTER EVERYWHERE
The send button responds faster and follow-up questions load quicker, so conversations move at the pace you're already thinking.

HealthScout is an educational tool, not a medical provider. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical advice.

### 1.3.4 — 2026-05-18

NEW: FORM ASSISTANT
You've been there. The receptionist at your new doctor hands you a clipboard with four pages of health history questions. Not only is this drudgery, but half the questions need dates you can't remember. HealthScout has the answers with the new Form Assistant feature! Photograph the intake form, and Form Assistant finds every answer from your records. If the form is online, you can even copy and paste answers from HealthScout.

NEW: PROVIDER RELOGIN REMINDER
Your provider can log you out of your connection meaning you won't get new updates.  If you hit refresh, HealthScout can now recognize that and prompt you to relogin.
