Lab tests and medical reports
Blood tests and medical reports for the whole family, in one place.
Photograph the pages or import the lab's PDF: Pediary reads them on your phone and suggests the results, values and collection date, which you check before saving. Then you find every value with its history, for a child, for yourself or for a relative.
100% Free, No Ads
From version 3.3, on iPhone and Android.
Loose sheets, PDFs in your inbox, and the pediatrician's questions
Lab results arrive on paper, as a PDF by email or in a hospital or lab portal. The ultrasound is in a drawer, the discharge summary in another folder, and on the day of the visit you have to put it all back together.
"What was the ferritin at the last check? When was the last ultrasound? Do you have the report with you?"
You don't need to remember everything: you need one place to keep every document, with the values it contains.
An archive that transcribes, without judging
Pediary is a free app for iPhone and Android, with no Pediary account and no ads, that keeps lab tests and medical reports for children and adults, reads the pages of Italian and English reports on the phone, and shows how values change over time.

What it looks like in the app
Real Pediary screens, with fictional documents, people and labs.
Photograph, check, saveThe results read from the pages arrive in a list to check: uncertain ones are marked "to check", and none goes into the diary without your confirmation. 
Every value with its historyEach result has its own chart over time, with a shaded band for the range given by the lab in the latest test. 
All results at a glanceThe "Results" tab shows the latest value of every result, marked "outside the range given by the lab" where it applies. 
Read on your phoneScan the pages, choose photos or import the PDF. "The pages are read on this device: nothing is sent anywhere to read them." 
Ultrasounds and discharge summaries tooMedical reports keep the pages, the text read and "In brief", with the doctor's conclusions taken from the document, and link to visits. 
Ready for the pediatrician"Share PDF" sends the pages of the lab test or report, and the diary PDF always includes them.
Features
What Pediary does with lab tests and medical reports
The value as the lab printed it
Value, unit, range and flag
Each result keeps name, value, unit, reference range and lab flag exactly as they are on the page, even when the result is a word like "Negative". Pediary never adds ranges of its own.
Outside the range, without alarms
Flagged in red, no judgement
When the lab added a flag or the number falls outside the printed range, the result is shown in red with the words "outside the range given by the lab", and repeated at the top of the test.
How values change over time
A chart for each result
The chart lines up the values with the same unit, with the band of the range given by the lab in the latest test. Values without a number, such as "Negative", stay in the list.
Reports linked to visits
11 categories, plus your own
Ultrasounds and X-rays, discharge summaries, emergency room, certificates and more: each report links to one or more visits, and opens from the visit with one tap.
Everything can be found
Search and sharing
"Search lab tests and results..." also looks in the text read from the pages. "Share PDF" and "Share text" prepare what the doctor needs.
Three steps, from paper to diary
1
Photograph or import
From the "+" button choose "Lab test" or "Medical report", then scan the pages, choose photos or import the PDF.
2
Check
Pediary reads the pages on your phone and suggests the results. Check every value against the pages before saving: uncertain results arrive switched off.
3
Find
In the "Diary" open "Lab tests" or "Medical reports", follow how each result changes and share the PDF with the doctor.
Frequently asked questions about lab tests and medical reports
Is Pediary free?
Yes: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Lab tests, medical reports, charts and PDFs are all included.
Do I need an account?
No, you don't need a Pediary account. If you want to sync another phone or turn on automatic backup, you use your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.
Where do the photos of my reports go?
Into the app's database on your phone, protected on iPhone and encrypted on Android. They don't leave the phone to be read. They leave only if you turn on sync, which is encrypted and works between phones with Pediary 3.3.0 or later, or backup to your own cloud, which is the same ZIP as the export and is not encrypted.
Does it read reports in other languages?
Results are recognized automatically in Italian and English reports. For reports in other languages the pages stay attached and you type the results by hand.
Does Pediary interpret the values?
No. It transcribes value, unit, range and flag as the lab printed them, and marks in red those outside the range given by the lab. Pediary stores your lab tests and medical reports and helps you find them: it does not interpret them or give medical advice. To understand what they mean, talk to your doctor.
Can I send them to the pediatrician?
Yes: "Share PDF" sends the pages of the lab test or report, "Share text" sends its details, and the diary PDF always includes lab tests and medical reports.
Does it work for adults too?
Yes, for every profile in the family, child or adult: each one has their own lab tests and medical reports.
Can I add reports downloaded from my health portal?
Yes, if the file is a PDF: "Import PDF", up to 10 pages. Digitally signed .p7m files and password-protected PDFs can't be opened. There is no direct connection to any portal.
