NigehbanFamily medical records, kept togetherIn development

Your family's medical papers, in one safe place.

Prescriptions in a drawer, lab reports in WhatsApp, a discharge summary somewhere at home. Nigehban (نگہبان, guardian) is being built so a family can photograph or import those documents, keep the originals safe and private, and give each person exactly the access they need.

Reading documents automatically: in development

Scan a document

01 — Problems it solves

The problem, and how Nigehban answers it

Records are scattered

Paper, PDFs, phone photos and hospital portals each hold part of the story. Nigehban gives each family member one place where every document lives.

One person looks after everyone

Usually one family member keeps track for parents and children. Nigehban lets them manage several people, and bring in siblings or other caregivers with access of their own.

Medical papers are private

Health documents are among the most sensitive things a family keeps. Every document is encrypted, every action is recorded, and nobody sees a profile unless the family grants it.

Papers and photos get lost

A photo in a gallery disappears with the phone. Documents saved to Nigehban keep their original file, and are removed only deliberately, with a chance to undo.

02 — What it does

Built in development; not yet released

A profile for each person

Create profiles for yourself and the people you care for with just a name and relationship. Children are managed by a guardian, and an adult can later take over their own records.

Caregivers with the right access

Invite another caregiver to a profile and choose what they can do. Remove them at any time without losing records. Every action appears in the profile's history.

Scan or import documents

Scan multi-page papers with the phone's camera, pick photos and PDFs, share files in from other apps, or drag them onto the website. Uploads carry on after a lost connection.

Sealed on arrival

Each document is encrypted before it is stored and kept byte for byte as uploaded. Files are checked for what they really are, and harmful ones are refused before anything is shown.

A list that works offline

The Android app keeps an encrypted list of each person's records to look through without internet. Opening the documents themselves offline is still being built. If someone's access ends, their phone's copy clears the next time it connects.

Sign-in without passwords

Sign in with a one-time code or a passkey, see your signed-in devices and remove any of them. Account recovery uses a second verified contact.

04 — Work ahead

Open problems we're still working on

01Reading documents reliablyHandwritten prescriptions and varied lab formats need a document-reading model running on our own servers, and a test set to prove it works. Nothing is read automatically until that is measured, and a person will always confirm what was read.

02Sharing with a doctor, safelyOn the website, sharing with a doctor is built in development: a share expires, the doctor must verify before seeing anything, every view is logged, and you can end or extend it. A link on its own reveals nothing. Sharing from the Android app and a final review of the wording come next.

03The legal footingQuestions about identity documents, how long data is kept and when support may act for a family are with legal counsel. No real records are accepted until they are settled.

04Proving it on real phonesScanning, notifications and the phone-lock sign-in have been tested on emulators and in automated checks. Testing on real, low-cost Android phones comes before release.

Questions

Can I use Nigehban now?

Not yet. It is in development, and no real medical records are accepted until the security, legal and release checks are complete. Leave your details to hear when it opens.

Does Nigehban give medical advice?

No. Nigehban keeps and organises your family's documents. It does not diagnose, interpret results or replace your doctor.

Who can see my family's records?

Only the people that a profile's owner or guardian grants access to. Our support staff see account states, not document contents, and every exceptional access is recorded.

Where will the data be stored?

The plan is to host it in Pakistan on infrastructure we run. We'll state where data lives before the app opens, and tell users before any change.

Interested in Nigehban?

We'll write once, when Nigehban opens. If you look after someone's care, a few lines on how you keep their records today helps us build the right thing.
