The problem
Your medical history is scattered across clinic portals, PDFs, photos of paper reports, emails, and your own memory. None of it talks to any of the rest of it, and most of it lives in systems you cannot export from.
The idea
Niori — A home for your own medical history.. One place to collect your own records, understand what is in them, and walk into an appointment with a clear history instead of a folder of scans. Yours to keep, in a format you can take with you.
I am writing the whole thing up as I go: what I decide, what I get wrong, and why. That is what the build log is.
The constraints I am designing against
- You own the data. Export is a first-class feature, not a hostage negotiation.
- Offline and local first. A medical record should not stop working because a server is down or a subscription lapsed.
- Dull where it counts. Nothing clever decides what your medication list says. I would rather be boring and correct.
- Readable in ten years. Plain files, documented formats, no lock-in.
Where it is
Early days - design and prototypes. Nothing to download yet. There is nothing to download yet — when there is, it will show up here and in the build log.
Follow along
- The build log — progress, decisions, and dead ends.
- All posts — the same thing, by date.
- About — who is writing this.
