Nine months ago, my mom was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, and it's been an eye-opening experience. Cancer patients often deal with frequent hospital visits, multiple doctors, and a barrage of tests. Keeping track of it all—especially with the medical jargon—is overwhelming, even with a solid support system.

To help, I taught her how to drag and drop her latest test results into ChatGPT for better understanding. That led me to build MyChartHelper, a Chrome extension that simplifies this process. With just one click, you can chat with your latest health summary.

How it works:

The extension navigates to your medical document summary, requests it, and refreshes until the data is ready. It then downloads the summary and injects the relevant parts into ChatGPT for easy conversation.

Right now, the tool works with Penn Medicine, but it's easy to adapt for other hospitals by swapping the URL in `background.js`.

I open-sourced this tool because I believe it could help others in similar situations. I created a GitHub organization called Healthcare Buddy to host this because I believe that there should be a suite of free, easy to use tools for people facing health challenges. The world would be a better place if this existed.

If anyone would like to contribute to MyChartHelper or start a new project within the org, feel free to reach out.

Also, if you know of any similar initiatives, I'd love to hear about them. I couldn't find anything like this.
