Connecting with Others on Mediphant
Build your care circle - invite family and friends, choose what each person can see, and manage roles over time.
Updated August 4, 2026 · 3 min read
Health is rarely managed alone. Your care circle is the group of family and friends who help you stay on top of it - and Mediphant lets you decide exactly how much each person sees. Connections start small and grow only when you say so.
Finding people
From Home, tap the + in “Your care circle” to open the Connect with Others sheet. You'll see up to four tabs:
Search
Look people up by name, @handle, email, or phone number - or scan their QR code.
Suggested
“People you may know,” based on mutual circles. Connect with one tap.
Invite
Family not on Mediphant yet? Send up to five email invitations at once - when they sign up, they automatically get a connection request from you.
Your Link
Share your personal QR code or invite link - perfect for connecting in person or over text.
Making a connection, step by step
- 1
Find them
In the Search tab, enter a name, @handle, email, or phone number and tap their result to open a preview of their profile.
- 2
Invite them to your circle
Tap Add to your circle and then Send Invitation. They join as an Observer once they accept - the most limited role, so nothing sensitive is shared by default.
- 3
Or ask to join theirs
Sharing goes both ways. On the same preview, tap Request access under “Access to their circle” to ask to see their updates. Each direction is a separate, explicit approval.
- 4
Adjust their role
On the Manage Circles page, find them under Circle Members, open the ⋮ menu, and tap Change Role to give them more (or less) access at any time.
The three roles
Observer
Can view basic health updates and posts. The default for every new connection.
Inner Circle
Can view detailed health records and post updates. For your closest caregivers.
Admin
Can manage circle members and has full access to health records. Reserve this for the person who truly runs point.
When someone wants deeper access - say, to view your timeline - they can request an upgrade from within the app. You'll see it under Pending Requests on your Circles page, where you can review and approve or decline.
