Mere Medical is a self-hosted personal health record (PHR) web application that aggregates and syncs medical records from multiple patient portals into a single timeline and summary interface. It is designed to be local-first and privacy-focused so core functionality can work offline and data can be stored and controlled by the user.

Key Features

  • Aggregates and syncs records from many patient portals and major EMR vendors, including Epic, Cerner, Veradigm, OnPatient/DrChrono, and VA sandbox integrations
  • Timeline view and quick summaries to browse clinical encounters, medications, labs, and documents
  • Local-first, offline-capable architecture with optional server-side components for syncing and multi-device use
  • OAuth2-based integrations requiring provider client credentials for secure API access
  • Docker-ready deployment and local development using an Nx monorepo and TypeScript stack
  • Privacy-first defaults and user control over data storage and sharing

Use Cases

  • Consolidate a patient's scattered medical records into a single, searchable timeline for personal use or clinical review
  • Maintain a portable, local-first PHR for visits, second opinions, or transitions of care
  • Automate periodic syncing from multiple hospital portals to keep records up to date without relying on third-party services

Limitations and Considerations

  • Connecting to many EMR providers requires registering OAuth client credentials with each vendor and configuring environment variables; setup can be technical
  • VA production access and some provider integrations may be limited or require sandbox credentials; feature availability depends on provider APIs
  • Not a turnkey HIPAA compliance solution out of the box; deployment, hosting, and operational controls determine regulatory compliance

Mere Medical is aimed at users who want a privacy-conscious, self-hosted PHR with offline capabilities and broad portal coverage. It is actively developed and geared toward technically comfortable users or administrators who can manage OAuth client setup and containerized deployments.
