Canadian health infrastructure

The record follows the patient.

MedUnity is the layer between the clinics, hospitals, pharmacies and labs that hold your health information — and you, the one person who was present at every appointment.

Your health record, wherever you go

You have answered the same questions at every appointment, because nobody can see what anyone else wrote down. You have carried your own history between offices — in a folder, on your phone, in your memory — and been made to feel difficult for arriving with printouts. Your record exists. You are just not the one who can reach it.

Your medications, conditions, allergies, results and visit history, in one place you can open. At a new specialist. In another province. At two in the morning when you cannot remember which dose changed in March.

You choose who sees it. You choose for how long. You can see everyone who looked, and you can take it back at any time.

Your record exists. It is just in pieces.

Canadian health records are scattered across clinics, hospitals, pharmacies and labs. Each one is an accountable custodian of a fragment. None of them holds the whole.

Roughly 29% of physicians can share patient information outside their own practice, and fewer than half of Canadians can reach their own record at all. Disconnected records are estimated to cost Canada $9.4 billion a year (CMAJ, 2026).

The layer in between

MedUnity is the trusted infrastructure between Canada’s health custodians and the patients whose records they hold. It is the Canadian-owned layer that lets a patient bring the fragments together and direct who sees what, for how long, and why.

Every access is refused unless the patient permitted it, and every access is recorded in a ledger nobody — including MedUnity — can alter.

Not a competing record. Not another silo. The rails, the consent, and the proof.

The longer plan

The patient record is the first stage. After it comes Canadian-owned health data infrastructure, and then a Canadian-built alternative to the foreign systems that hold most of this country’s clinical data.

The aim is to grow the Canadian-owned share of a market dominated by foreign vendors — not to compete with the Canadian health technology companies already in it.

Many fragments, one place

Each of these holds part of your history. None of them holds all of it, and none of them can see the others.

  • Medications

    What you take, what you stopped, and when it changed — from the pharmacy that dispensed it and the clinician who prescribed it.

  • Conditions and allergies

    Recorded once, by the professional who recorded them, and visible everywhere you choose to show them.

  • Results

    Lab and imaging results as the source issued them — the same values, the same reference ranges, the same wording.

  • Visits

    Who you saw, where, and when. The history you are asked to recite at every new office.

  • Documents and imaging

    The discharge summary, the requisition, the scan. Carried with the record rather than in a folder.

  • Your own notes

    A journal of symptoms and questions, in your words. Anything you mark private stays private.

Sharing, and then seeing who looked

This is the part that is different, and it is worth following to the end — because the last step is what makes the rest believable.

  1. You choose a person

    Find the clinician or clinic by name, practice address, city, institution, or MedUnity Number. We never ask for a health card number.

  2. You choose what, and for how long

    Category by category, with an end date. Medications but not your journal. Until Friday, not forever.

  3. They read it, and it is recorded

    Every read is written to a ledger in the same moment as the read itself. If the record of it cannot be written, the read does not happen.

  4. You see everyone who looked

    Not a summary. The list. Who, when, which categories, and under which permission — and the list cannot be altered afterwards by anyone, including us.

What we never do

Each of these is a property of how the system is built, not a policy we are promising to follow.

  • We never

    No interpretation

    MedUnity does not score, flag, rank or interpret clinical information. It shows you the source’s own values, ranges and wording, unchanged.

  • We never

    No administrator override

    There is no screen anywhere in this company that shows a patient’s record. Not restricted — absent.

  • We never

    No support backdoor

    If you need help with something, you grant us access yourself, for a set time. You can see it in your access log and take it back.

  • We never

    No selling, no brokering

    MedUnity earns nothing from your health information moving. There is no version of this business that does.

  • We never

    No data leaving Canada

    Not for storage, not for processing, not for a backup, and not for a convenient third-party tool.
