Why MediBrief?

We're building the simplest, most trustworthy way for Indian families to keep their medical records ready for an emergency — private by design, with a real person behind it. Here's what that means, and why it's different.

MediBrief exists for one reason: when a health emergency hits, the people you love shouldn’t be digging through folders and old WhatsApp messages for a prescription. We’re building the simplest, most trustworthy way for an Indian family to keep its medical records together and ready: private by design, with a real person behind the app.

That’s the whole promise. Here’s why we think it’s worth your trust.

The problem we couldn’t ignore

In India, your medical history is scattered. A prescription from one clinic, a lab report from another, a discharge summary in a drawer at home. It’s rarely in one place, and rarely with you when it matters most.

The people who feel that gap hardest usually aren’t the patients. They’re the caregivers: the daughter managing her parents’ medicines, the parent tracking a child’s condition, whoever ends up as the family’s unofficial record-keeper. They deserve a tool built for them, not a complicated app handed down from somewhere else.

What makes us different

  • Your data stays on your phone. Most health apps store your records on their servers. We don’t. MediBrief keeps everything encrypted on your own device, so privacy isn’t a policy you have to take on faith. It’s how the app is built. There’s no central pile of health data for us, or anyone, to lose.
  • A real person, no ads. We’re not building an advertising business on your health data, and we never will. When you need help, you’ll reach an actual human instead of a dead-end bot.
  • Built for caregivers. The whole app is shaped around the person juggling a family’s health, including those who aren’t comfortable with complicated technology.
  • Honest about where we are. We say we’re “built to align with” India’s DPDP Act and ABDM rules. We don’t say “certified,” because we haven’t earned that yet. On something this important, we’d rather under-promise.

What we’re not

We want to be just as clear about what MediBrief isn’t. It isn’t medical advice; it helps you keep and understand your records, not diagnose or treat anything. And it isn’t a cloud locker quietly holding your data on a server somewhere. If a health app’s privacy depends entirely on trusting the company behind it, that’s the thing we set out to avoid.

Where we are

We’re early, and we’re building in the open. The app is pre-launch, we’re incubated under SSIP and PIERC, and we’re putting the foundation first: privacy, trust, and an app that’s genuinely simple to use, before any flashy features.

If that’s the kind of health app you’ve wished existed, we’d love to have you with us from the start.

Frequently asked questions

Does MediBrief sell my data or show ads?

No. We have no advertising business model and we don't sell your data. There's nothing to sell, because your records stay encrypted on your own phone, not on our servers.

Where are my records actually stored?

On your device, encrypted. MediBrief is device-first by design, so your health data isn't sitting in a company database for anyone to breach or misuse.

Is MediBrief free?

MediBrief will be free for individuals during early access. If we add premium convenience features later, we'll be upfront about the pricing before you pay for anything.

Is the app available yet?

Not yet. We're pre-launch and building in the open. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to use it.
