Your health story is scattered. We bring it together.
Your health information sits across 20 or more organisations — hundreds of pages and thousands of data points that no one has ever seen in one place. Bapuji collects all of it, assembles it into one story, and shows you where your risks lie and what to do about them now.
Your health information lives in more places than you think
Every time you see a doctor, get a test, make a claim or book a check-up, a new record is created — and it stays with whoever created it.

Collecting it all is genuinely hard
In New Zealand you have a legal right to every record held about you. Actually getting them is another matter.
Every organisation works differently
Some want a form, some an email, some a signed letter and ID. There's no single place to ask.
Each request takes weeks
Providers have up to twenty working days to respond — and many need chasing before they do.
Records arrive in every format
Scanned letters, password-protected PDFs, printouts, portal exports — none of it joined up.
You have to know where to look
Records from old practices, closed clinics and one-off visits are the easiest to miss — and often the most revealing.
A whole record predicts. A single result rarely does.
A cholesterol reading a little high, a blood pressure slightly up on last time, a blood sugar just inside the normal range — each one, seen once, usually gets the same answer: keep an eye on it.
Seen together across years, those same results often point in one clear direction. Direction is what predicts risk — frequently years before any single reading would be enough to prompt action.
Set against current international clinical guidelines, your whole record becomes specific: what your risks actually are, and what's worth doing now, while there's still time for it to matter.
You sign one authority. We do the chasing.
Four steps, and the weeks of emails and calls are ours, not yours.
We map who holds it
Every practice, hospital, lab, specialist, dentist, insurer and device you've used.
We request all of it
Under the Health Information Privacy Code, on your written authority — and we chase until it arrives.
We assemble one record
A single timeline, every entry traceable to its source document.
We measure it against the evidence
What's been done, what hasn't, and what to raise with your doctor.
My grandfather lived in India and carried his medical record with him in a folder. Every letter, every result, every prescription. When he saw a doctor, he handed it over.
In one respect, that hand-carried folder — decades ago, in a far simpler health system — was more advanced than the record most New Zealanders have today. He had one complete story. We have fragments, spread across twenty different systems, with nobody able to see them together.
We called him Bapuji. Whoever holds your record decides what can be known about you.
See what you'd receive
A complete worked example, built to the same depth as a real record — every entry traceable to the document behind it. The person is invented; the structure is exactly what you'd get.

We're working with a small number of people first, one at a time. Leave your details and we'll be in touch when there's a place.
For organisations
The same fragmentation that hides risk from an individual also hides real need from the people who fund and plan health services. We're exploring what a complete, assembled view of a population's records could show a funder that routine data alone cannot — get in touch if that's relevant to your work.

Dr Manoj Patel. I have spent my career working in healthcare leadership and innovation roles, and through this I have seen the gaps that arise from incomplete health information.
Bapuji started as my own record and became something I think everyone should be able to have.
What this is not
Bapuji is an administrative service. We retrieve and organise records, and show how they compare with published clinical guidelines.
We do not provide clinical assessment, diagnosis or medical advice, and we are not your doctor. Everything we produce is designed to be taken to the clinicians who care for you.
