FileVile
A cross-platform medical database so patients can keep files, labs, notes, prescriptions, and insurance in one place — and optionally contribute anonymized data for research.
A card-catalogue chest of five drawers beside a phone dock: each drawer (files, labs, notes, prescriptions, insurance) opens in turn, its front card lifts out and is carried into a single file box, and a row appears on the docked phone as each record lands.
Medical records, unified — with opt-in pattern analytics
Why it exists
FileVile started in hospital waiting rooms in India while a grandfather declined from pancreatic cancer diagnosed too late. Records were scattered across labs, hospitals, and pharmacies. Hours vanished reconstituting a history that should have been one file.
The product is a direct strike at that mess: patient files, lab results, hospital notes, prescriptions, and insurance in one cross-platform app, Android and iOS, with near-perfect compatibility as a design constraint — not a nice-to-have.
What it does
Patients store medical files for easier access by healthcare providers. Opt-in analytics can surface trends across health data so families and clinicians can see patterns earlier than a stack of paper would allow. Anonymized data can support large-scale research when the user chooses.
The origin story is on the About page. The promise is the product: give families and doctors a fighting chance the next time the system is fragmented.
