Be heard, seen and believed
 

 About

Pictal Health is a patient-owned small business located in Vermont.

We believe…


Patients are experts

When it comes to your own life and body, you are the world’s best expert. 


You own your story

Right now, your health data is locked away in health records. You should be able to own your story, update it anytime, and control who has access to it. 


Your story needs a safe, trustworthy home

Security and privacy are always top of mind for us. We don’t ever sell your data or share it without your written consent. Our business is supported by your membership, not by selling your stuff.


Seeing is believing

Those with invisible illness are often not believed. When you can show people what you’ve been through, they’ll be more likely to trust and believe you. 


The best appointments are collaborative

When patients and clinicians have the same picture in their mind, they can work together better. Your expertise + your clinician’s expertise = the magic.


Visuals are the key to great collaboration

“I’m a visual person, so I like this.” We’ve heard this over and over. 65% of people are visual learners; when you visualize your story, you make it easier for others to absorb and remember it.

 
 

Vision

We imagine a world in which patients and clinicians are partners, equally valued for their expertise.

  • Patients are heard, seen and believed

  • Clinicians get the whole story and make the best-informed decisions

  • Errors, misdiagosis, and burnout plummet
