Your child’s vaccination card and records, kept safe
The vaccination card gets creased, the discharge summary goes missing, and the paediatrician asks what was given last time. Keep a photo of each paper under your child’s name, on your phone.
The situation
So many small papers, over so many years.
From the first vaccination card to school forms, a child collects papers: injections given, prescriptions for fevers and coughs, a discharge summary after an admission, a few lab reports. They’re needed at the clinic, for admission to a school, or when you change your paediatrician.
One paper kept in a drawer is easy to lose. A photo on your phone, labelled with your child’s name, is easy to find.

How Kinsu fits
A file for each child.
In Family, add your son or daughter with their name and age. When you photograph or save a paper, choose whose it is. In the vault, switch to your child and you see only their records, searchable by name, doctor or tag.
Crop the photo to the page before you save it. Everything stays on your phone, encrypted, and Kinsu doesn’t send it to anyone. More about health records.
What to keep
Start with these.
- 01
The vaccination card.
Photograph every page, and add a new photo after each visit. Save it under your child’s name.
- 02
Prescriptions and reports.
Photograph each one before you leave the clinic or lab, and add the doctor’s name so you can search for it.
- 03
Discharge summaries and insurance papers.
Save them after any admission. You’ll want them again for a claim or a second opinion.
Keep the original card too. A photo is a copy for finding things, and some places will want the paper.
What it doesn’t do
The limits, plainly.
- It has no vaccination schedule.Kinsu doesn’t tell you which vaccine is due or when. Your paediatrician gives the schedule, and the card shows what’s been given.
- It sends no vaccination reminders.Note the next date in your calendar, or ask the clinic to remind you.
- It has no growth chart.There is no height or weight tracking for children.
- Medicines aren’t kept per child.Your reminders and readings are your own. Only documents carry a person’s name.
- It’s for adults.You use Kinsu on your phone, and your child’s records sit under their name. Kinsu is for people aged 18 and over.
- It isn’t a medical device.Kinsu doesn’t give medical advice. Ask your paediatrician about your child’s health.
Questions
Questions families ask.
Can I keep my mother’s reports separate from mine?
Yes. Add her in Family and choose her name when you save a record. In the vault, switch between people to see only hers.
What can I add to the vault?
Photos from your camera or gallery, and files such as PDFs and Word documents. You can crop a photo to the page before you save it, and PDFs open inside the app.
Can my family see my records?
No. Your records, and the ones you keep for family members, stay on your phone. Nobody else can open them, and Kinsu doesn’t send them to anyone.
Should I still keep the paper originals?
Yes. Hospitals and insurance claims often ask for originals, and a photo is only a copy. Kinsu helps you find the right page quickly; it doesn’t replace the paper.
What if I lose my phone?
Your records are only on your phone, so they go with it: there’s no cloud copy to restore from. Whoever has the phone can’t open them without your fingerprint, face or screen lock. Your 12-word recovery code gets you back in on the same phone if its security settings change; it can’t bring records to a new one.
