Hi Paul. I'd love to see your service take off. I've spent a few years in healthcare IT and think that the world would be a better place if you succeed.

With that said, there are a number of startups that have struggled with similar ideas. How are you different from, say, PicnicHealth?

Thanks for the kind words, tkiley! There are a number of great products out there to help people manage their medical data. But that's a big problem to tackle, and we're focused on one small piece of it—requesting medical records. In fact, our market often differs from folks who use a personal health record. Many of our users have been asked by their doctor, their insurance company, or a lawyer to gather and share their medical records and they just want help with that process.
