About HealthLynk

Your health history should be easier to keep.

Medical information has a habit of ending up everywhere — prescriptions in a drawer, results in an email, receipts in WhatsApp, and details of an old visit somewhere in memory.

HealthLynk gives you one private place to organise the health information that matters — for yourself and the people you care for.

A calmer way to keep health information together.

The problem

Health information becomes scattered surprisingly quickly.

A single person's health history may be spread across paper documents, email attachments, WhatsApp conversations, photographs, prescriptions, laboratory results, receipts, discharge documents, different doctors and facilities — and the things we simply try to remember.

It becomes even more difficult when you're also keeping track of information for a child, parent, partner or another dependant. HealthLynk was created to make that everyday problem simpler.

What HealthLynk helps you do

A useful history, built one record at a time.

Keep records together

Store visits, prescriptions, tests, receipts and supporting health documents in one organised place.

Build a health timeline

Keep related records connected over time instead of searching through disconnected files.

Capture now, organise later

Save something while you have it, then add more context when it is convenient.

Manage people you care for

Eligible plans support separate profiles for family members and other people whose records you help manage.

Share when necessary

Use authorised access flows when another trusted person needs appropriate information.

Take your information with you

Export supported records and files when you need a copy for yourself or elsewhere.

Why this matters

Health records aren't only useful when you're sick.

Visiting a new doctor

Have previous tests, prescriptions or treatment history available for context.

Managing your child's records

Keep school forms, visits, vaccinations, prescriptions and documents together.

Helping a parent or dependant

Make the responsibility of keeping information organised easier to share.

Preparing for an appointment

Return to your history without searching through several places.

How it works

Start small. Build useful context over time.

  1. 1

    Create your profile

    Start with your own HealthLynk profile.

  2. 2

    Add your records

    Capture visits and upload supporting documents as you go.

  3. 3

Eligible plans also let you create and manage separate profiles for people you care for.

Privacy and trust

Your health information is personal.

HealthLynk is built around the principle that your health records should remain private and only be available to people who have authorised access. No online service can responsibly promise perfect security, so our approach focuses on clear permissions, secure authentication and ongoing protection.

Clear boundaries

What HealthLynk is — and isn't.

HealthLynk is

A personal health-record organisation platform that helps people capture, organise, preserve, access and share their own health information.

It isn't a doctor

HealthLynk does not diagnose conditions or recommend treatment.

It isn't a hospital or medical aid

It stores and organises information; it does not provide medical care, insurance or medical cover.

It doesn't replace professional advice

Healthcare decisions should still be made with appropriate healthcare professionals.

Who it is for

For individuals, families and care organisations.

For you

Keep your own health information organised and available over time.

For your family

Manage separate records for people you care for where your subscription supports it.

For care organisations

HealthLynk Care is being built to support organisations that need structured, authorised ways of managing records for people in their care.

Our story

Why we created HealthLynk.

HealthLynk started with a simple observation: important health information often belongs to the patient, but keeping that information organised over a lifetime is surprisingly difficult.

People change doctors. Families move. Documents get misplaced. Messages disappear into old conversations. Parents manage information for children, and adult children sometimes begin helping their own parents.

We believe people should have a practical place to maintain their own health history alongside the healthcare services they use. HealthLynk is being built in South Africa around that idea.
