HealthSteward
AI care coordinator · consumer app in development

Nobody on the clinical side owns the coordination work. HealthSteward does.

Every specialist has their own chart. None of them talk to each other. HealthSteward is being built to hold the whole picture for you and turn it into what to bring up at the next appointment.

Open-source v1.0 is available today. The consumer app is not released yet.

The Problem

Fragmented care comes with a second, unpaid job.

Remembering what each specialist said. What changed since the last visit. Which labs are still pending. What you're supposed to bring up next time — across providers who don't share a health system and often don't share information at all. Anyone juggling more than one provider ends up doing this work; it's just unavoidable once you're seeing more than one specialist who won't see each other's notes.

That work falls hardest on people managing multiple chronic conditions, who are almost always stuck in this kind of fragmented setup — and hardest of all exactly when they have the least capacity to carry it: mid-flare, mid-crisis, mid-diagnosis. Things get missed — a follow-up nobody rebooks, a lab result nobody connects to a new symptom, a medication change one specialist doesn't know another one made.

Most tools treat this as a records problem: store the documents, make them searchable, maybe chat with them. HealthSteward treats it as a coordination problem — ingest what providers give you, track what's changed and what's still open, and turn that into something concrete for the next appointment.

Personal Note

Why this exists

I couldn't find a tool that did what I needed, so I built one.

Becoming a first-time parent took a harder toll than I expected. Mental health worsened postpartum, and managing my chronic conditions was the first thing to go — medications, blood tests, follow-up appointments, all quietly abandoned. Nobody flagged the silence. No provider reached out. The gap that opened in those months took far longer to close than it took to form.

The underlying problem: my care was split across multiple specialists — different practices, different systems, none of them talking to each other. Every appointment started from scratch. I was the only person with the full picture, and I was the least equipped to hold it.

I started building HealthSteward in December 2025 for myself: a way to hold together a medical system that asks you to track too many providers, records, and follow-ups in your own head. After sharing it with others navigating similarly fragmented care, it was clear the need went well beyond me — so that first version is public, GPLv3, free to use, fork, or build on. I'm now building the consumer app.

If something here is wrong, could be better, or you just have thoughts, I'd genuinely like to hear them.
