I built a health platform for my family because nobody has a clue what is going on

Here's what I saw happening in my family:

My dad gets blood work done and sends a photo on WhatsApp.
My mom mentions a doctor visit two weeks after it happened.
I find out about an uncle's diabetes diagnosis at a family dinner.

Nobody has the full picture.
There is simply no transparency, no insights and no understanding.

So I built Kula. Upload lab reports (photo, PDF, or just forward them on WhatsApp), connect a wearable, and everyone in the family sees a shared dashboard.
It parses reports, tracks personal baselines over time, and you can ask it questions in plain language: "what's dad's cholesterol trend?" and get a sourced answer.

My family's been using it.
My parents actually told me they'd use it even without me on it just to have everything in one place before doctor visits. That surprised me and changed how I think about the product.

Do you feel the same way about health and family health in particular?

If you have a few minutes, would love for your feedback and thoughts on this. Would you keep using this?
Is there anything critical missing?
What would make you open it again tomorrow?

    The moment your parents said they would use it without you is the signal.

    That means this is not “AI for health data.”
    It is family health infrastructure.

    That is the stronger product.

    Most health tools are built for one patient.
    The real problem is shared context across people who are all partially responsible and none fully informed.

    That is why this feels stronger than symptom tracking or report summarization.
    You are not organizing records.
    You are reducing family-side medical ambiguity.

    That is the actual pain.

    Kula is warm, but probably too soft if this becomes serious longitudinal health infrastructure.

    If this keeps moving from “help my family stay informed” toward “shared health memory / family medical system,” Lyriso.com is the stronger long-term name.

      Thanks for your feedback. Not sure I understand what you mean by, "Kula is warm, but probably too soft..."
      I'm not sure I understand your reframing of the pain point either.
      Happy to discuss further
