Why Sahara
Clear for families. Careful with records.
Sahara is free, asks for no card, and holds no password of yours.
02
Plain language from MedlinePlus
Recognized items link to general education from the National Library of Medicine, and Sahara never interprets your own result.
03
Your password stays with your hospital
You sign in on the MyChart page of your health system, so Sahara never sees your password, and it does not retain a copy of your clinical record after the session.
04
English and Spanish
Sahara works in English or Spanish, with MedlinePlus education in Spanish where it is available.
Sahara shows and explains. It does not diagnose, advise, or replace your care team, and a clinician remains accountable for your care.
Why this is hard
Your record was written for someone else.
A discharge summary, a lab panel, a medication list: all of it is written by clinicians, for clinicians. That is the right way to write it, and it is also why families sit in car parks reading a result they cannot interpret. Sahara does not rewrite your record or tell you what it means for you. It gathers it into one view and, for the items it recognizes, links out to the plain-language explanation the National Library of Medicine already publishes.
Guides
Before you connect anything.
Free to read, no account, no connection required.
Look up what your health system requiresGetting access to a parent's record
Proxy access is the step most families get stuck on. What to ask your hospital for, what it is called, and why the account you already share is not the same thing.
Reading a lab result without panicking
Why a value can sit outside the reference range and still be unremarkable, what the flags actually mean, and which questions are worth taking to the care team.
Helping a parent who reads Spanish
Where translated patient education genuinely exists, where it does not, and how to avoid the failure mode of translating a clinical result yourself.
Before you connect
Three things worth knowing first.
Which health record systems can Sahara connect to today?
Epic MyChart, and no others. Oracle Health, MEDITECH and athenahealth are not connected. Even within Epic, each healthcare organization decides whether the connection is available and what data it returns, so availability varies by organization.
Can Sahara change anything in my medical record?
No. Sahara is read-only. It retrieves the record data you authorize, shows it, and writes nothing back. Your health system keeps the authoritative record, and you can disconnect Sahara at any time.
Is Sahara free, and what languages does it support?
Sahara is free today and asks for no card. MedlinePlus general education appears in English or Spanish where available, and optional language support can present supported record content in additional languages while the original source stays visible.
If you are trying to reach a parent's or partner's record, start with what 45 US health systems publish about proxy access.
For health systems
The enterprise side of Synodha.
Synodha also builds EHR-agnostic workflow agents for recurring care-operations work: Annual Wellness Visit preparation, transitions of care after discharge, and Chronic Care Management queues. They operate over authorized existing data and prepare work for accountable human review. They do not interpret patient-specific results and do not replace the care team.
