health-memex

Personal health data archive: consolidate medical records from multiple EHR systems into a single queryable SQLite database. Part of the *-memex ecosystem.

Query, analyze, and export your aggregated clinical data via CLI, MCP server (for LLM-assisted analysis), or self-contained HTML SPA.

Features

  • Multi-EHR data consolidation: Import from Epic MyChart, MEDITECH Expanse, and athenahealth
  • SQLite database: 17 clinical tables with full audit trail
  • MCP server: 31 tools for LLM-assisted analysis with Claude
  • Export formats: Self-contained HTML SPA, Arkiv (JSONL + README.md + schema.yaml)
  • AI chat: Ask questions about your record in the HTML SPA via Claude, with inline charts (optional, requires proxy)
  • Visit prep: See what's new since your last visit, directly in the SPA
  • Print summary: One-page printable view for your doctor
  • Personal notes: Tag and annotate any clinical record

Installation

pip install health-memex

# With MCP server support (for Claude integration)
pip install "health-memex[mcp]"

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/queelius/health-memex.git
cd health-memex
pip install -e ".[dev,mcp]"

Quick Start

Load Data from EHR Exports

# Load from individual sources
health-memex load epic ~/exports/epic/
health-memex load meditech ~/exports/meditech/
health-memex load athena ~/exports/athena/

# Or load all at once
health-memex load all \
  --epic-dir ~/exports/epic/ \
  --meditech-dir ~/exports/meditech/ \
  --athena-dir ~/exports/athena/

Query and Inspect

# View database summary
health-memex summary

# Run SQL queries
health-memex query "SELECT test_name, value, result_date FROM lab_results ORDER BY result_date DESC LIMIT 10"

# What's new since your last visit
health-memex diff 2025-01-01

Export Your Data

# Self-contained HTML SPA with embedded SQLite (all data stays client-side)
health-memex export html --output summary.html
health-memex export html --output summary.html --embed-images --config health_memex.toml
health-memex export html --output summary.html --ai-chat --proxy-url https://proxy.example.com/v1/messages

# Arkiv universal record format (primary backup/restore, round-trip capable)
health-memex export arkiv --output ./arkiv/
health-memex export arkiv --output ./arkiv/ --embed

# Import from arkiv archive
health-memex import ./arkiv/ --db new.db
health-memex import ./arkiv/ --validate-only

MCP Server

# Start MCP server (matches ecosystem pattern: memex mcp, btk mcp)
health-memex mcp --db health_memex.db

Supported EHR Sources

Source Format Description
Epic MyChart CDA R2 XML IHE XDM exports from Epic MyChart
Epic MyChart (MHTML) MHTML Visit notes and genomic test results (e.g., Tempus XF)
MEDITECH Expanse CCDA XML + FHIR JSON Dual-format bulk exports (merged and deduplicated)
athenahealth FHIR R4 XML Ambulatory summary exports

Database Schema

17 clinical tables, all dates ISO YYYY-MM-DD, every record carries a source field:

Category Tables
Core patients, documents, encounters
Labs & Vitals lab_results, vitals
Medications medications, allergies
Conditions conditions
Procedures procedures, pathology_reports, imaging_reports
Genomics genetic_variants
Notes clinical_notes
History immunizations, social_history, family_history, mental_status
System load_log, notes/note_tags, analyses/analysis_tags, source_assets

Configuration

health-memex init-config

Generates health_memex.toml with lab tests to chart based on what's in your database.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • Dependencies: lxml, pyyaml
  • Optional: mcp (FastMCP) for MCP server

Handling PHI responsibly

health-memex is a personal archive. The SQLite database, the arkiv bundle (records.jsonl plus README.md, schema.yaml, and media/), and the HTML SPA all contain Protected Health Information (PHI) in plaintext. Treat every exported artifact like a password file.

Minimum precautions:

  • Keep the primary database on an encrypted volume (FileVault, LUKS, BitLocker, or similar).
  • When sharing an arkiv bundle or an HTML SPA, wrap it in a password-protected .zip or GPG-encrypt it. health-memex export does not encrypt. That is the operator's responsibility.
  • Never email a raw export, upload it to a generic file-sharing site, publish it on a public web server, or paste its contents into an arbitrary chat service.
  • If you enable the --ai-chat feature in the SPA, remember that the chat routes your questions (which may quote lab values, diagnoses, and medication lists) through whatever proxy URL you configured. Use a proxy you control.
  • When you no longer need an export, shred or secure-delete it rather than dropping it in the trash.

health-memex prints a PHI reminder to stderr after every export. The reminder is deliberate; please do not suppress it in scripts unless you know the destination path is already protected.
