If you want an app for consolidating records from multiple doctors, the “best” option depends on whether you care most about official records access, manual storage, or sharing with providers. Here are the strongest patient-facing options:

Best overall for official record aggregation

1) Apple Health / Health Records

Best for: iPhone users who want to pull in records from many hospitals and clinics.
Pros:

  • Can import clinical records from participating health systems
  • Aggregates labs, medications, allergies, immunizations, and visits
  • Secure, built into iPhone
  • Easy to view and share Cons:
  • Works best only if your doctors’ systems participate
  • iPhone only

2) CommonHealth

Best for: Android users or people who want a standalone health records app.
Pros:

  • Designed to aggregate records from multiple providers
  • Supports clinical data import from participating organizations
  • Lets you keep a portable health record Cons:
  • Coverage varies by provider network
  • Not as universally known as Apple Health

Best for broad patient access and sharing

3) MyChart

Best for: People whose doctors use Epic.
Pros:

  • Very common in U.S. health systems
  • Easy access to labs, imaging reports, messages, appointments, and visit summaries
  • Good for viewing records from multiple clinics if they’re on Epic Cons:
  • Usually tied to specific health systems
  • Not a true universal aggregator across all doctors

4) FollowMyHealth

Best for: Patients with doctors using athenahealth, Allscripts, or certain other systems.
Pros:

  • Can consolidate data from multiple linked providers
  • Helpful for viewing labs, notes, and medications
  • Works on web and mobile Cons:
  • Availability depends on provider participation

Best for manual upload and document storage

5) Microsoft HealthVault-style alternatives / general document vault apps

Examples: Notion, Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Apple Notes Best for: Storing PDFs, discharge summaries, imaging CDs, insurance letters, and home-tracked health logs.
Pros:

  • Works with anything you scan or download
  • Flexible organization
  • Easy sharing with family or caregivers Cons:
  • Usually not structured medical data
  • Less useful for lab trends or medication lists

Best for personal health tracking plus records

6) Healthie / CareClinic / MyTherapy / Bearable

Best for: People who want to combine records with symptoms, meds, and health tracking.
Pros:

  • Medication reminders, symptom tracking, journaling
  • Useful for chronic conditions
  • Can store documents or notes depending on app Cons:
  • Not primarily an official medical record repository
  • Data import from providers is limited

My practical recommendation

  • iPhone: Start with Apple Health
  • Android: Start with CommonHealth
  • If your doctors use Epic: Use MyChart as your primary portal
  • For everything else: Keep a secure cloud folder or document vault for PDFs and scans

What to look for in any app

  • Ability to import records from multiple providers
  • Support for lab results, meds, allergies, imaging reports
  • Export/sharing options
  • Strong privacy and encryption
  • Easy PDF upload for records that can’t be imported electronically

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a ranked list by iPhone vs Android,
  2. the most privacy-focused options, or
  3. a setup strategy to combine 2–3 apps for the best results.
