Best Self Hosted Alternatives to Apple Health Records

Fasten Health is a personal health record (PHR) you run yourself to aggregate and view your medical data in one place. It connects to supported provider portals/APIs (FHIR) to import clinical records and presents them in a unified, searchable timeline.

Key Features

• Connects to healthcare systems using FHIR to import patient records
• Consolidates data from multiple providers into a single patient-centric view
• Browsable medical timeline (encounters, conditions, medications, immunizations, labs, etc., depending on source)
• Local database for storing normalized health resources for faster browsing
• Web UI for exploring and filtering your medical history
• Containerized “on-prem” deployment workflow (Docker-based)

Use Cases

• Maintain a unified record when you visit multiple clinics/hospitals
• Track medications, immunizations, and lab results over time
• Export/consult your history when changing providers or preparing for appointments

Limitations and Considerations

• Data availability and completeness depends on each provider’s FHIR implementation and what they expose
• Initial setup requires provider connectivity and may vary by supported institutions

Fasten Health is suited for individuals who want a consolidated view of their health records without relying on a third-party PHR vendor. Its core value is pulling FHIR-based records into a single local interface for longitudinal browsing across providers.
