What Sift is

A reading desk for your health history.

Sift is intended to help people and their authorized caregivers make sense of fragmented records without hiding the original source.

It distinguishes documented information from possible explanations, unresolved questions, and contradictions—and keeps consequential decisions with qualified healthcare professionals.

Who Sift helps

Built around the person whose record it is.

For patients managing complex histories, families supporting care with permission, and reviewers evaluating clear integration boundaries.

01

Patients

Understand records, changes, and questions without needing to decode every clinical term alone.

02

Authorized caregivers

Participate through explicit authorization, with the acting person kept distinct from the patient.

03

Integration reviewers

Inspect patient consent, interoperability standards, intended data access, and unverified controls.

You authorize access at your healthcare organization.
