OurMemos Global Humanitarian Access Initiative
People’s Health Stories.
Connected Across
a Lifetime.
Accessible Across
the World.
OurMemos is building a people-centered way to preserve the health context that happens between visits — helping families, caregivers, clinicians, and communities understand the whole journey over time.
Patent Pending
Between visits
The Challenge
Health stories are fragmented. Families live the gaps.
Between appointments, life happens — and most of it is never written down.
- 01
Siloed information
Health records are scattered across providers, settings, and geographies — rarely forming one picture.
- 02
Context lost between visits
Families and caregivers hold critical context that often never reaches the people making care decisions.
- 03
Access barriers
Underserved communities need multilingual, low-friction ways to preserve and share their story.
- 04
Continuity matters
Longitudinal context can support continuity of care, research, and more equitable systems.
Our Approach
A connected pathway, built on permission.
OurMemos is designed to help capture longitudinal information between visits and make relevant context available to authorized participants — not to share data without restriction.
- 1
Patient / Family
Capture health moments between visits
- 2
Caregiver
Add observations, with permission
- 3
Clinician
See relevant, authorized context
- 4
Research & Community Insight
Governed, aggregate learning
A note on maturity. Capabilities may exist in different maturity states. Deployment scope is determined with each partner.
A different kind of health record
Imagine if a person’s health story didn’t disappear between visits, settings, or borders.
A family remembers.
What changed at home.
A caregiver observes.
What happened between appointments.
A clinician understands.
More of the journey, not only the visit.
OurMemos is designed to help connect those moments into a longitudinal story — with permission.
Global Humanitarian Access Initiative
Validate locally. Deploy globally. Build capacity within communities.
01
Platform Enhancement
Strengthen the platform for multilingual, enterprise-grade deployment.
02
Focused U.S. Validation Pilot
Generate early evidence in a focused, governed setting.
03
International Deployment
Launch with local partners in initial international settings.
04
Global Humanitarian Access & Evidence Network
Connect communities, partners, and evidence over time.
Phases are planned and sequenced with partners; scope and timing are determined jointly.
Deployment Priorities
Implemented with communities, not for them.
Local Partnerships
Trusted local organizations, NGOs, universities, health systems, ministries, and community leaders.
Multilingual Localization
Adapt platform, content, workflows, health literacy, and support for local languages and cultural contexts.
Local Hiring & Training
Build in-country teams and train implementation partners and community health workers.
Subsidized / Free Community Access
Free or low-cost access where appropriate for families, caregivers, and underserved communities.
Humanitarian Impact
Intended outcomes.
Program goals the initiative is designed to pursue and measure — not established results.
- 01
Expand access.
Longitudinal care support where continuity is hardest.
- 02
Support families.
Preserve the context they already carry.
- 03
Strengthen care.
Help authorized clinicians understand more of the patient journey.
- 04
Build capacity.
Support local implementation and training.
- 05
Generate evidence.
Learn responsibly across communities.
Governance & Safeguards
Humanitarian impact requires trust.
- Privacy and security by design
- Consent-centered participation and ethical data use
- Permissioned analytics rather than unrestricted data sharing
- Local governance and partnership
- Responsible use of de-identified / aggregate insights where appropriate
Guiding principles. These are guiding design principles. OurMemos does not claim completed regulatory certifications; compliance requirements are assessed with each partner and jurisdiction.

Our belief
Care is a story, not a series of snapshots.
About / Mission
The story happens outside the clinic.
OurMemos was created around a simple belief: the most important parts of a person’s health story often happen outside the clinic.
By helping people, families, caregivers, and care teams preserve and connect that context over time, we believe technology can support more continuous, equitable, and human-centered care.
