Galen

Patient-owned health record: the patient grants and revokes who can see their chart

What it does

Galen is a patient-owned health record, part of the Docuity suite, built for patients juggling several caregivers whose chart would otherwise be locked inside one clinic's system. Every chart belongs to a patient, not a clinic: a caregiver or doctor gets in only with the patient's own access code, and the patient can grant full write access, visit-logging-only access, or read-only viewing, and revoke any of it at any time.

A photo of a paper chart becomes a structured draft note in seconds using Claude's image reading, but it stays a draft, out of the real timeline, until a person reviews and publishes it. Longer stretches of notes get an AI-written daily recap and trend view, clearly marked as AI-authored. Caregivers cannot end a visit without leaving a handoff note, anyone can raise an alert that stays pinned until marked handled, and a home-care agency can staff its schedule around a patient without ever seeing the clinical record. A chart exports as a proper clinical PDF or as spreadsheets of medications and vitals for an outside doctor or hospital.

One Docuity account currently holds one Galen role at a time, patient or caregiver, not both. Like the rest of the suite, Galen makes no HIPAA-certification, SOC 2, or Business Associate Agreement claim, and anything sent to Claude for its AI features is not used to train models.
