Connecting with Your Guardian

Link your doctor's office to Mediphant so you can share records, message your care team, and get more informed care.

Updated August 4, 2026 · 3 min read

In Mediphant, a Guardian is a healthcare professional - a doctor, nurse practitioner, or clinic - with a verified presence on Mediphant. Connecting with your Guardian lets them see the health story you've built, send you documents securely, and provide more informed care.

Three ways to connect

Open the account menu (your avatar, top right) and choose Manage Circles, then tap Share with Guardian. The Add a Mediphant Guardian sheet gives you three tabs:

Search by handle

Enter the @handle shared by your clinic, doctor, or care provider.

Scan QR code

Point your camera at a Mediphant Guardian QR code - often on a poster or card at the front desk.

Invite a doctor

Doctor not on Mediphant yet? Enter their contact info and we'll reach out to enroll them.

Connecting, step by step

  1. 1

    Find your Guardian

    In the Search by handle tab, type the @handle your clinic gave you. Their profile appears with their photo, address, and a Verified Guardian badge - so you know you've found the right practice.

  2. 2

    Review what they'll see

    Before you connect, the profile spells out exactly what access means under “What this means” - what your Guardian will and won't be able to see. Read it; you're always in control.

  3. 3

    Request the connection

    Tap Request connection. Your request shows as Request pending until the clinic accepts. If your clinic invited you first, you'll see Accept invitation instead - one tap and you're connected.

  4. 4

    Start collaborating

    Once connected, their profile shows Message Guardian and, for many clinics, Book Appointment. Your Guardian also appears on your Circles page under Guardians (Healthcare Professionals).

What your Guardian can - and can't - see

They can see

Your Vault, Dashboard, Timeline, and the insights generated from your health data. They can also securely send you medical documents, lab tests, and more.

They can't see

Your Calendar, Feed, Circle, or your chats with Elly. Those stay between you and the people you choose.

Got a link like mediphant.com/guardian/your-clinic from your doctor's office? Just open it - it takes you straight to the clinic's page with a Connect button, and walks you through sign-up if you're new to Mediphant.

Common questions

Yes, at any time. Open the Guardian's profile and tap Remove connection. They immediately lose access to all information they have about you, and reconnecting would require your approval again.
Use the Invite a doctor tab: enter the clinic name, your doctor's name, and their email or phone. We'll reach out, invite them, and help get them enrolled as your Guardian.
No - Guardians are healthcare professionals. To share with family and friends, add them to your care circle instead: see Connecting with Others on Mediphant.
