Check yourself monthly
Pick a day each month and get to know how your breasts normally look and feel. Medi Diary reminds you, and celebrates the streak.
SawubonaHalloMoloDumelaHello for every South African.
Your health story is scattered everywhere.
Everywhere but with you.
It's spread across every clinic, hospital and pharmacy you've ever set foot in. It answers to the building, not to you. So you retell your history from memory. A new doctor starts from a blank page. A result sits unread in a system across town. Doctors do their best with half the picture, and you carry the cost. Medi Diary changes that. One secure record that's yours for life, that follows you everywhere care happens, in your language, under your control.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Know your normal. Check monthly.
This October, Medi Diary stands with every South African affected by breast cancer. Found early, it is far more treatable, and that starts with knowing your own body and keeping your screening on track.
Get screened
CANSA recommends a mammogram every year from age 40, and every two years from 55 (or yearly if you prefer). Keep the booking and the result in your record.
Know the signs
- A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
- A change in size, shape or the skin (dimpling, redness)
- Nipple changes or unusual discharge
ⓘMedi Diary is a companion, not a diagnosis. If you notice any change, see a clinician. Most changes are not cancer, but every one is worth checking.

Load-shedding
The lights go out. Your record does not.

At any clinic
One record, wherever the taxi takes you.
Every GP, clinic, pharmacy and hospital you visit reads from the same story, so you never retell it from memory.

Gran’s medicines, sorted from your phone.
Your children and your parents on one account, with reminders and vaccination schedules for the whole family.

Web portal & mobile app

Your doctor’s view
The overview your doctor opens to.
Medi Diary isn't only a patient app. From the very first pilot, GPs and specialists get a full working portal. When you share your record, this is the primary overview they open to, with safety built into the screen.
Doctor portal · live in the pilot

The consult loop
Everything a consultation produces, in one place.
Run the whole visit in Medi Diary, and every artefact lands in your patient's record the same day, without a single re-typed page.
- Prescriptions with an interaction gate and dependant-aware allergy checks
- Sick notes, clinical letters and referrals — digitally signed
- Lab orders inbox with abnormal-result flagging
- Drug monitoring for warfarin, clozapine, lithium and methotrexate

A note from our founder
"I built Medi Diary because every South African deserves what the best private healthcare takes for granted: a doctor who knows your story. Your record shouldn't live in a filing cabinet you'll never see again. It should live with you, in your language, wherever care happens."
Janice Naidoo — Founder, Medi Diary · Medi Diary (Pty) Ltd

The response so far
People who work in healthcare get it.
When we shared why Medi Diary exists, clinicians, health-system leaders and patients answered. A few of their words, from the public conversation on LinkedIn.
Diagnostic error is rarely a knowledge failure. Clinicians anchor early because fragmented records reward anchoring… Fix the information flow and you change the psychology of the decision, not just the logistics.

Any platform which moves us towards true proactive data sharing between systems, and which empowers patients to be centrally involved in decision making about their care, is a step in the right direction.

We often celebrate going digital, but if systems can’t talk to each other, we’ve just replaced paper with prettier silos. Giving patients ownership of their records feels like one of those simple ideas that’s been overdue for a long time.
