You know the drill. Your mom mentions a new medication during a Sunday phone call, and you scramble to type it into the Notes app before you forget. Two weeks later you are at her doctor's appointment and the physician asks for a full medication list. You pull up your phone, scroll past grocery lists and meeting notes, and hope you caught the dosage right.
For the 16 million seniors living alone in the United States, health details slip through the cracks constantly — not because families do not care, but because there has never been a good place to put it all. Sticky notes on the fridge, scattered text messages, and memory alone are not a system. They are a gamble.
That is exactly the problem Health Profile was built to solve.
What is Health Profile?
Health Profile is a dedicated section inside the Ultaura dashboard where you can record, organize, and manage your loved one's health information in one place. It covers five areas: conditions, medications, observations, documents, and AI-generated suggestions from calls.
Everything you enter is encrypted at rest and visible only to the account owner — not other account members, not viewers, not Ultaura staff. And here is the part that makes it different from a spreadsheet: when you grant consent, Ultaura can actually use this information during calls to have more informed, supportive conversations with your loved one.
Health Profile is not a clinical record system or a diagnosis engine. It is a private health reference that optionally makes Ultaura a better companion.
Conditions
The Conditions tab is where you record diagnoses and ongoing health issues — things like diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, or a recent hip replacement. Each condition has a status (active, monitoring, or resolved) so the profile stays current as things change.
You can add approximate dates for when a condition was diagnosed or first noticed. Not everyone remembers exact dates, so Health Profile supports three levels of precision: just the year, the month and year, or the full date. Enter what you know and skip what you do not.
When you type a condition name, Ultaura suggests standardized options with recognized medical codes. You do not need to know the code — just start typing and pick the closest match. If nothing fits, enter the name your family uses. The autocomplete is there to help, not to gatekeep.
Medications
The Medications tab tracks what your loved one is currently taking, has taken in the past, or takes only as needed. For each medication you can record the name, dosage, frequency, specific times of day, who prescribed it, and any linked condition.
The real power here is the connection to calls. When consent is enabled, you can create medication reminders that Ultaura weaves into conversation naturally. Instead of a generic alarm or text alert, your loved one hears something like: "By the way, it's about time for your evening blood pressure medication — the lisinopril your doctor prescribed." The reminder includes the actual medication name and context because Ultaura has it in the Health Profile.
These medication reminders are delivered during calls only — not via SMS — so they feel like a natural part of the conversation rather than another notification to ignore. You can pause or cancel any reminder from the dashboard at any time.

Observations
The Observations tab is your space to log things you notice — symptoms, behavioral changes, patterns, or anything that feels worth writing down. Did your dad seem more confused than usual on Tuesday? Has your mom mentioned sleeping poorly three calls in a row? Is your father eating less?
Each observation can be categorized (memory, mood, physical mobility, nutrition, sleep, social engagement, medication compliance, or general) and tagged with a concern level: just a note, mild concern, or significant concern. Over time, these notes become a timeline that you can share with a doctor or home care provider.
Observations are especially useful for families managing care from a distance. You cannot always be there to see the small changes, but you can write them down as they come up and spot trends that would be invisible otherwise.
Documents
The Documents tab gives you a secure place to upload medical files — lab results, discharge summaries, prescriptions, insurance documents, imaging scans, or doctor's notes. Supported formats include PDF, JPEG, and PNG, with a maximum file size of 25 MB per upload.
Every uploaded file is encrypted before it reaches storage. Only the account owner can view, download, or delete documents. This makes Health Profile a safer alternative to emailing medical records back and forth or keeping scanned copies in an unsecured cloud folder.
You can add a title, category, document date, and notes to each upload so files are easy to find later — especially when you need to pull up last month's blood work at a follow-up appointment.
Suggestions from calls
This is where Health Profile goes beyond a static record. When consent is enabled, Ultaura pays attention during calls. If your loved one mentions a new symptom, a medication change, or a visit to the doctor, Ultaura can flag it as a suggestion in the Health Profile.
Suggestions appear in a dedicated tab for you to review. For each one, you have three choices: approve it as a new condition or medication entry, apply it as an update to an existing record, or dismiss it entirely. Nothing is added to the Health Profile automatically — you are always the one making the final call.
This means the profile gets smarter over time without requiring you to be on every phone call or ask your parent to repeat everything. Ultaura listens so you do not have to hover.

Consent and control
Health Profile has a clear consent model because health information is sensitive and your loved one deserves a say in how it is used.
For family-managed lines, the account owner can request consent through the dashboard. On the next call, Ultaura asks the senior directly — in plain language — whether they are comfortable having health information referenced during conversations. They can say yes, no, or change their mind later. There is a 30-day cooldown between consent requests to prevent repeated prompting.
For self-managed lines (where the senior manages their own account), consent is a simple toggle in the dashboard. No cooldown, no call prompt — just a switch.
Here is the key distinction: granting consent means Ultaura can reference health details during calls. Denying or revoking consent means the Health Profile stays a completely private dashboard record. The data is still there for your reference — Ultaura simply will not use it in conversation.
Consent can be changed at any time, in either direction, by the person who holds it.
Privacy and encryption
All health data is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption with per-line encryption keys. This is the same encryption standard used for all sensitive data in Ultaura — memories, insights, and call content.
Health information is visible only to the account owner. Other account members and viewers cannot see it. Health data is never shared with third parties, never used to train AI models, and never exposed in API responses beyond what the account owner explicitly requests.
You can delete any individual health record — a condition, medication, observation, document, or suggestion — at any time. If you delete a line or close your account, all associated health data is permanently removed.
Which plans include Health Profile?
Health Profile is available on three plans:
- Comfort ($49/month) — up to 2 phone lines
- Family ($99/month) — up to 4 phone lines
- Usage Based ($0.15/minute) — unlimited phone lines
It is not available on the Care plan or during the 14-day free trial. If you are currently on Care or a trial, you can upgrade at any time from the Billing section of your dashboard to unlock Health Profile immediately.
All plans that include Health Profile get the full feature set — conditions, medications, observations, documents, suggestions, medication reminders, and the consent model. There are no tiered feature gates within Health Profile itself.
A better place for the information that matters
Managing a parent's health from another city — or even another room — is hard enough without the information being scattered across apps, sticky notes, and half-remembered phone calls. Health Profile gives you one private, encrypted, always-accessible place for the details that matter most.
And when you are ready, it gives Ultaura the context to be a better companion — one that knows your mom takes lisinopril in the evening and your dad has a follow-up appointment next Thursday.
That is not a clinical record. It is just being informed.
