Adding Records

How to Upload a Document

Add lab reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries, and more to your Vault - and let Elly read them for you.

Updated August 4, 2026 · 3 min read

Everything you add to Mediphant lives in your Vault - one organized, private home for your health records. Once a document is uploaded, Elly reads it, pulls out what matters, and adds it to your timeline. Uploading takes less than a minute.

What you can upload

Almost anything from your healthcare life belongs in the Vault. Mediphant accepts PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, photos (including iPhone HEIC photos), videos, and audio files - up to 100 MB per file and 10 files per upload.

Lab results

Blood work, imaging reports, pathology - PDFs or photos of paper copies.

Prescriptions

Medication lists, pharmacy printouts, or a photo of the bottle label.

Visit summaries

After-visit summaries, discharge papers, and referral letters.

Photos

Snap paper documents, insurance cards, or anything on paper.

Voice notes

Record what the doctor said while it's fresh - Elly transcribes it.

Text entries

Type a quick note directly, no file needed.

Uploading a document, step by step

  1. 1

    Open your Vault

    From the app, go to Your Vault - this is where all your files live, with Files and Integrations tabs at the top.

  2. 2

    Tap Add

    Tap the Add button in the navigation bar (or the Add New button above your file list). You can also start from Home: tap Add to open the quick actions sheet and look under Add to Vault.

  3. 3

    Choose how to add your file

    The Add Files sheet gives you options: record a voice note, add a document / image set, text entry, add photos, upload files, or add videos. To upload an existing file from your device, choose Upload files. To photograph a paper document, choose Add photos and use your device's camera from the photo picker.

  4. 4

    Review before uploading

    On the Review Files screen you'll see everything queued up. Rename any file with the pencil icon, remove one with the trash icon, or tap Add more to keep going. When you're happy, tap Upload.

  5. 5

    Let Elly do the reading

    After the upload finishes you'll see “We're on it!” - your files are being processed. Elly will read your files and notify you if there's anything she found worth mentioning. This usually takes a few minutes.

The Add Files menu - every way to get something into your Vault.

After the upload

Open any file in your Vault to see two tabs: Preview, which shows the original document, and View Text, which shows the text Elly extracted. Key findings from your documents also appear on your timeline, so the story of your health builds itself as you upload.
