Ten years of hospital paper,
one search box
Photograph the folder you are already carrying. Parchi files every report, prescription and bill, then answers questions about them with the page it read attached.

Everything the folder is already holding
Lab reports are read value by value. The rest is dated, filed and searchable — never invented.
- Lab reports
- Prescriptions
- Discharge summaries
- Hospital bills
- Scan reports
- Claim forms
Three steps, and none of them is typing
Usually it is not the patient doing this. It is a daughter, a son, a spouse — holding the folder, booking the appointment, filing the claim. Parchi is built for whoever is carrying the bag.
- Step one
Photograph the folder
Empty the bag onto the table and shoot. Crooked, stapled, faded, out of order — all of it is fine. No typing, no naming files.
- Step two
It files itself
Every page is dated, classified and put in the right person's file. Lab reports go further: each value is lifted out along with the patch of paper it sat on.
- Step three
Ask in plain words
Ask the way you would ask a person. The answer comes back with the page attached, so checking it takes one look instead of one evening.
The report, in plain words
A lab report is written for the doctor who ordered it. Parchi keeps the sheet exactly as it is and adds the part nobody prints: what each test actually measures, in one sentence, and where your own number has been.
So you walk into the appointment knowing what you are looking at, and spend the ten minutes on the question you came with.
- What the test measures
- How much oxygen your blood is able to carry.
- The range on this sheet
- 13.0–17.0 g/dL, printed by Sunrise Pathology.
- Where your number has been
- 10.1 in Nov · 9.4 in Jan · 9.2 in Mar
- Who called it low
- The lab did. Parchi only carries the flag across.
Whether 9.2 is good news is a conversation with your doctor. Parchi does not have that conversation.
For everyone the paper passes through
It starts with whoever is carrying the folder. The same record is worth something to every person they hand it to.
- For families
One folder for everyone you look after
A parent, a partner, a child, and yourself — kept apart, searched together. Find the report from four years ago before the appointment ends, not on the drive home.
- For doctors
A decade of history, already in order
The patient arrives with everything sorted by date and by test, and the original page is one tap away. Nothing retyped, nothing summarised on the patient's behalf.
- For hospitals and labs
Reports that survive the journey home
The sheet you hand over stays readable years later, in the patient's own record. Fewer repeat tests ordered because the last one could not be found.
- For a claim
Every paper the insurer asks for
Bills, prescriptions and the discharge summary from one admission, gathered together instead of hunted down the week the deadline lands.
Every number keeps its address
A value that cannot be traced back to a patch of a page is thrown away before it is ever saved. That is a rule in the code, not a polite instruction to a model.
Reference ranges come from the same sheet the value did, because two labs across the road from each other do not agree on them. The low flag is the lab’s own. Parchi never adds one.
You should not have to trust us
Every company that ended up selling your records once promised it never would. A promise is not a mechanism, so here is what Parchi is built to make impossible rather than merely against the rules.
- Deletion
Delete destroys the key, not a row
Every record is encrypted under its own key. Deleting it destroys that key, which leaves every backup holding ciphertext nobody can open — not us, not whoever runs Parchi in ten years. It is not a flag on a row that a later migration can quietly flip back.
- Revenue
You pay for it, so nobody else has to
Records get brokered where there is a hole in the revenue. Parchi is a paid product with one customer: the person holding the folder. An insurer is not a customer and cannot become one, and there is no free tier underwritten by reading your history.
- Exit
Leaving costs you nothing
Full export, in an open format, whenever you want, without writing to anyone to ask. A promise is only worth what it costs to walk away from — this is what makes ours worth something.
What this does not solve: a report is readable for the few seconds it takes to read it at upload, and a court order is still a court order. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. The work is to keep the amount of your history that is legible to anyone but you as close to nothing as the job allows.
What Parchi will never do
- Parchi will not diagnose you, or anyone you are caring for.
- Parchi will not tell you whether a result is good or bad.
- Parchi will not warn you about drug interactions.
- Parchi will not read handwriting and guess at the rest.
- Parchi will not train a model on your records, or sell them.
