Why we started with family history

A family's health history is scattered. Lab results sit in a clinic's system, prescriptions in a drawer, a photo of a discharge summary on someone's phone, vaccination cards in a folder. When a parent gets older or a child gets sick, the people who care for them end up reconstructing that history from memory, in a waiting room.

Arooqa is one private place to keep it: for you, your children, your parents, and anyone whose care you look after. It is built for the person in the family who ends up holding everything together.

What the Arooqa family-history app does

A private place to keep, find and share your family's history.

  • Family profiles

    One longitudinal history for each person you care for, from a newborn's first check-up to a grandparent's maintenance medications.

  • Health records

    Measurements, medications, conditions, allergies, visits, immunizations, and care notes. Each one carries the date it happened and where the information came from.

  • Scan and keep documents

    Scan with your phone, or import a photo or PDF. The original is kept next to any record made from it. On supported iPhones, tested printed lab and prescription fields can be suggested for review. Requests, clinical notes, diagnostic reports, vaccination cards, and unfamiliar documents use source-guided entry or remain findable references. Arooqa does not interpret scans or complete a narrative on your behalf.

  • A timeline that tells the story

    Everything in one history per person, sorted by when it actually happened rather than when you found time to enter it.

How the family-history app works

  1. Add the people you care for.

    Yourself, your children, your parents, a partner, anyone whose care you help manage.

  2. Record what happens.

    Keep the lab report before you leave the clinic, or type in a blood pressure reading, a new medication, a visit. When a record comes from a document, the original stays linked.

  3. Read from a document is never the same as checked by you.

    Anything read from a document says where it came from and says, plainly and without alarm, that you have not checked it. You are the source of truth, not a machine.

  4. Look back over the whole history.

    On your phone, offline, whenever a doctor asks "when did this start?"

The family-history app's commitments

  • Local-first, free to keep

    Your family's records live on your device and work without an account or an internet connection. Your core health history is free to keep. Always. Local use does not require an account or subscription.

  • Keeps the original

    Lab reports, prescriptions, and clinic notes are kept as the documents they came from. Anything derived from them points back to the source.

  • You check it, not a machine

    Saving something Arooqa read is not the same as saying it is right. Only you can say that, and Arooqa records exactly what you said you checked.

  • No ads, no data sales

    We do not sell health data and there are no ads. Document reading happens on your device. You choose what to export or share.

Arooqa is a record-keeping tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a healthcare professional. Read the privacy policy for the full picture.
