Docsnap Launches Major App Update to Simplify Caregiver Access to Family Medical Records

FHIR-powered platform consolidates lab results, medications, and visit summaries across providers; introduces Patient DATA Bill of Rights.

ATLANTA, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, DOCSNAP announced a major update to its mobile and web-based health utility app, enabling patient-friendly access to personal and family medical records across healthcare providers using the modern data standard FHIR.

The update addresses a persistent challenge in U.S. healthcare: critical health information is often scattered across portals, PDFs, and systems built for clinicians rather than patients. Despite U.S. healthcare spending exceeding $4.9 trillion annually, families still struggle to access complete, understandable medical records, according to the American Medical Association.

Docsnap’s platform automatically consolidates key health information—including lab results, medications, allergies, immunizations, conditions, and visit summaries—into a single, easy-to-read view designed for everyday use. Access to up-to-date records is also made easy with the “Update Records” button, eliminating repeated logins and manual retrieval.

Why now: Each January, families reassess healthcare decisions—from insurance coverage and provider changes to caregiving responsibilities for aging parents and children. Yet access to complete medical records remains fragmented, even as healthcare costs and complexity continue to rise. As national efforts push for greater interoperability, patients are increasingly expected to manage and share their own health information. Docsnap’s update arrives at a time when families need practical tools that turn access to technical data into everyday clarity—without adding more portals or complexity.

“Access to medical history shouldn’t add stress to caregiving or care decisions,” said Anthony Mari, founder and CEO of Docsnap. “This update ensures patients and families—not portals—have a clearer, more complete picture of their health.”

Global health leaders have long cited data fragmentation as a barrier to effective care. The World Economic Forum has described healthcare data silos as creating a “fragmented landscape of vital health information,” limiting a comprehensive understanding of patient health journeys.

Docsnap estimates that once a user is onboarded, the clinical endpoints they aggregate can enable access to 75–80% of their medical history in one place, compared to roughly 40% typically available across disconnected systems.

Alongside the platform update, Docsnap introduced a Patient DATA Bill of Rights, affirming users’ rights to own, access, understand, and securely share their medical information—reflecting a broader shift toward patient-centered data access and coordination.

For clinicians, Docsnap maintains complete clinical-grade records in CCDA and FHIR formats while presenting a simplified, consumer-optimized view to patients, supporting more complete information sharing and fewer information gaps.

Docsnap is available via a web-based monthly subscription, with access through the Docsnap app on iOS and Android. Current users will receive the update automatically. New users can learn more at www.docsnap.com/press/docsnap-january-update
