The tool, currently free to use, combines a Rails backend, React frontend, and Anthropic's LLM to help families manage complex medical situations.", "body_md": "My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.\n\nThat's both an overwhelming diagnosis but also an overwhelming flood of information, documents, appointments, options and questions.\n\nI needed a place to keep track of it all and also a place to ask questions, do research and help my parents and family do the same.\n\nSo, naturally, I built something.\n\nNot charging anything for it at the moment (and with as much AI as I've got layered into this, frankly it's gonna cost me a nice chunk of change to run it). Mostly interested in just making this as useful as possible to families going through long, complex and heavy situations.\n\nTech stack: Rails backend, Inertia/React frontend, Swift for iOS, Anthropic for LLM bits.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48322833](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48322833)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-built-an-ai-medical-records-hub-after-my-mom-s-cancer-diagnosis", "canonical_source": "https://keptwell.org/", "published_at": "2026-05-29 13:25:55+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-29 13:47:38.832674+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-startups"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Rails", "React", "Swift", "iOS", "Hacker News", "Inertia"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-built-an-ai-medical-records-hub-after-my-mom-s-cancer-diagnosis", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-built-an-ai-medical-records-hub-after-my-mom-s-cancer-diagnosis.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-built-an-ai-medical-records-hub-after-my-mom-s-cancer-diagnosis.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-built-an-ai-medical-records-hub-after-my-mom-s-cancer-diagnosis.jsonld"}}
