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.

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.
