Scan and Save Medical Documents on Your Phone: How to Keep Lab Reports, Prescriptions and Scans in One Place
Free printable blood pressure log (PDF)
Keeping track of paper medical records is a chore. Lab reports, prescriptions, discharge summaries and imaging results pile up in folders, drawers and email attachments. When you need one at a clinic visit, it is never where you expect. Blood Snap now includes a Document Vault that turns your phone camera into a medical document scanner. Scan a report, name it, drop it in a folder, and find it again in seconds.
What the Document Vault does
Open More Health → Documents and tap Scan. The camera opens with edge detection. Point it at a paper report and the scanner finds the page, crops it, corrects the angle and saves it. You can scan up to ten pages in one go, and each scan becomes a single PDF.
Every document gets a name you choose and optional tags such as lab, blood sugar or2026. Folders can nest, so you can keep Lab reports, Prescriptions andImaging separate. Breadcrumbs make it easy to move back up. Tap any document to preview every page, rename it, move it between folders or share the PDF.
Search that actually finds the right page
Free accounts search by document name and tag. That covers most daily use: type blood test orcardiology and the matching documents appear instantly.
Blood Snap Pro goes further. Every page is read on your device with on-device text recognition, and Pro search also looks inside that text. Type HbA1c, Dr. Ahmed or creatinine and the right report surfaces even if you never tagged it.
Your documents never leave your phone
Scanned documents are stored in the app's private storage. They are not uploaded to Blood Snap, Firebase or any cloud service. They are not sent to Groq or any AI provider. They are not part of cloud sync. A document leaves the app only when you tapShare PDF, which uses the system share sheet.
Blood Snap also excludes scanned documents from Android Auto Backup and from iPhone and iPad device backups. That means they are not silently copied to Google Drive or iCloud. If you uninstall the app or change phones, scanned documents are not restored. Share a PDF to Files or Google Drive if you want your own backup copy.
Free and Pro
- Free: unlimited scans, up to 5 saved documents at a time, search by name and tag, PDF save and share.
- Pro: unlimited documents, full-text search inside every document, and (coming soon) cloud backup.
At the free limit the app asks you to delete one document before scanning a new one, and offersShare PDF first so you never lose a copy.
