Create a living journal that talks back
HealthStory evolves private journaling with a living AI journal that talks back and asks thoughtful questions, helping you capture your experiences more deeply and prepare for better conversations with your doctors and care team.
Private by default. Journal entries never become blog posts or community posts.
It started with our family
When a child in our family developed an unknown illness, we faced the same questions so many rare families do: What is happening? Who can help? What comes next?
As the grandmother and uncle, we brought together our experience in healthcare and technology to create KnowRare—a place to find information, connection and new possibilities.
