MotherKnows' original intention
The average American adult sees 18.7 doctors, but in the process of going to the doctor for many years, the medical records of childhood are easily lost, such as what information is often needed to know the relevant vaccine records in adulthood due to certain circumstances Can't find it. An app called MotherKnows hopes to help parents better preserve their children's medical information.
People need a safe place to keep their children's health information and access it anytime, anywhere, such as in the event of an emergency. Vaccinations and past medical history are also required when children enter school or register for summer camp.
MotherKnows can digitize the user's medical information and upload it to the online platform at the first time. Users only need to sign a consent form and provide the child's name and date of birth, and MotherKnows will then collect the child's original medical files from family doctors, hospitals and other medical institutions in the name of the parent, within two days to two weeks. You can receive a digital file of your child's health history. After that, parents no longer have to rush to find information, fill in medical history, medical records, etc. over and over again. Through the Internet, you can enjoy the convenience brought by digital medical records, including quick access, time cost savings, the most complete data collection and the safest data storage.

融资情况
据美国科技博客TechCrunch报道，2011年7月，MotherKnows获得了170万美元的种子资金，这笔融资将用于开发Web端与手机端产品和对公众开放服务。本轮投资由First Round Capital牵头，风投机构Giza Ventures、Charles River Ventures、The Band of Angels和前谷歌健康产品经理曼尼诗?阿若拉（Maneesh Arora）等天使投资人跟投。
MotherKnows如何保证数据的安全
MotherKnows收集整理的数据是经过256位的医院级别加密的，并保证不会分享这些健康数据。
MotherKnows是类似于银行的应用程序。它允许账户持有人通过电话进入自己的医疗健康记录的帐户。
The MotherKnows team said the company has been working with medical advisory groups to ensure services are conducted in a safe and orderly manner, including ensuring data is accurate, obtaining medical clearances, and ensuring that the site is secure and fully compliant with federal HIPAA and HITECH Act regulations.
Development Plan
There are 25 million mothers in the United States. MotherKnows is the first to focus on the mother market and is currently focusing on the children's market, while other competitors have not yet targeted this segment. Company founder Kutscher pointed out that MotherKnows is mainly to meet the needs of parents, rather than a general product. He believes that the needs of 90-year-olds and 5-year-olds are completely different.
MotherKnows wants to work with as many institutions as possible, and the company's long-term goal is to build the largest database of children's health information in the United States.
How to understand privacy protection in electronic medical records
MotherKnows believes that if we are happy to use Facebook-like social media to record our life and growth history, why can't we keep a convenient record of potentially life-saving health information? Yes, health is private and privacy is equally important, but the immediate benefits far outweigh the risks. If we trust digitized banking information, why not store and record our health information? Remember that banking information is much more than health information.
