Last year I got dengue and spent a few days in hospital. My wife was home with the kids, parents were abroad. The doctors were excellent — but there's a specific kind of lost you feel when different doctors rotate through your room, each running tests, explaining things in terminology you half-understand, and then leaving. Nobody stitches the picture together for you.
I used ChatGPT through most of it. It helped — explaining results, looking up what to expect. But every conversation started from scratch. I kept re-explaining my situation, my numbers, what the doctor said that morning.
That bugged me enough to build something.
What it does
Nurse Chapel is a health companion with memory. You can:
- Upload lab reports (PDFs or photos of printed results) and get a structured breakdown.
- Talk about symptoms, medications, sleep, diet — whatever's on your mind.
- Come back days or weeks later and it remembers everything.
- Track trends across reports over time.
- It builds a health profile from your conversations. So when you say "my knee is hurting again," it knows about the last time, what you tried, what your doctor said.
What it is not
Not a diagnostic tool. Not a medical device. It won't suggest medications or write you a treatment plan. It's closer to a personal health notebook that talks back and never forgets.
Named after Christine Chapel from Star Trek, because of course.
Where I'm at
About 15 users, zero revenue, a few days old. Figuring out who the real audience is. People with chronic conditions who track labs regularly? Parents managing health for aging parents and young kids at the same time? People who just want one place that holds their full health picture? I don't know yet.
If you try it, I'd genuinely love to hear what's missing or broken.
Happy to answer questions about the build, the approach to health data privacy, or why the world needed another AI wrapper. (It's the memory. That's the whole point.)
