Plotline

Plotline is an open‑source personal health record application that lets users collect and carry their medical data in a single, portable format. By aggregating information from various providers, the app enables patients to present a complete health history at any appointment without having to repeat their story each time. The tool is designed to keep the data under the user’s control, aligning with legal rights in many jurisdictions to obtain and retain personal healthcare records in standardized formats.

Targeted at individuals who want a convenient way to manage and share their health information, Plotline aims to simplify interactions with clinicians and other care providers. Its development focuses on ease of claiming and transporting medical data, using encryption for email communications and offering an open‑source codebase for community contributions.

The project is currently in an experimental stage, inviting users and developers to follow updates via a mailing list and to get involved through the provided contact address.
