AI patient advocacy for families

Families are handed a medical chart without an interpreter.

Myrrh Health reads the labs, test results and doctors’ notes, explains them in plain language, flags what changed, and helps you ask the care team the right questions.

Working prototype in development, not yet open to the public. Educational only, not medical advice.

What it is

You cannot advocate for treatment you don’t know about.

Whether it’s a parent in the ICU or a spouse managing care from home, families are expected to push for the best possible care at the worst moment of their lives. Nobody teaches them what to ask. Myrrh interprets the chart so you walk in with understanding.

In the hospital

For families advocating for a loved one who has been admitted. The stakes are highest and the time is shortest.

Outpatient

For patients and caregivers managing ongoing care between appointments, specialists and test results.

  1. 1

    Upload the chart

    Labs, test results, doctors’ and specialists’ notes. Upload files or paste text.

  2. 2

    Get the brief

    What it all means in plain language, what changed, and what published guidelines say about care.

  3. 3

    Walk in with questions

    Specific questions for the care team, and the understanding to ask them.

The app

From a chart you can’t read to a brief you can.

Everything in one place: the records, the timeline, the trends, and an alert when something needs attention, like a critically low glucose result.

  • Add health details. Upload files or paste labs and notes.
  • Analyze. See the whole picture in plain English.
  • Standard of care. Compare current care with typical and optimal care.
  • Get help. Patient and surrogate rights, and a briefing you can bring to the team.

Below it: a toggle between Outpatient and Hospital - Admitted, then cards for Add Health Details, Analyze, Standard of Care and Get help, and tiles for Timeline, Records, Trends and Family observations.

What the prototype does

Working prototype. Real charts. Real data.

The prototype works today and is being tested on a real hospital chart: thirty-one documents analyzed, thirty markers tracked. It isn’t open to the public yet.

  • Reads labs and notes

    Upload PDFs and photos or paste text: labs, test results, doctors’ and specialists’ notes. Lab values are pulled out and organized for you.

  • Explains in plain language

    A short, jargon-free summary of the whole picture across all of the records, with any medical term defined in the same sentence.

  • Flags what changed

    Highlights what is new, worsening or newly inconsistent compared with older records, and scans for mismatches between the patient’s condition and the care documented.

  • Tracks trends

    Follows lab markers over time and alerts you when a trend moves, so a slow drift doesn’t get lost between shifts.

  • Questions for the care team

    Specific questions tied to the value, date or note that prompted them, plus a briefing you can copy and share with the team or family.

  • Standard of care

    Compares the care in the records with widely accepted standards: current care versus typical versus optimal.

  • Get help

    Plain-English patient and surrogate rights, including second opinions, ethics consults and grievances, plus a lookup for your state and federal elected representatives.

  • Timeline and observations

    Every record and event on one timeline, with a place to log what the family sees at the bedside.

Why I built it

Built at a bedside.

I’m Brad Marsh. I’ve spent close to twenty years in technology and marketing analytics at companies like Google, Yahoo! and Publicis Groupe, and more recently I’ve been building AI products.

Then my mom spent months in the ICU. I sat at her bedside using AI to read her labs and her doctors’ notes, so I could understand what was happening and push for better care. The chart was a secret language, and no one had built an interpreter for families.

So I built Myrrh, so the next family going through this has that help too.
