Get to know Nova: Your AI Health Record Guide
Managing your health records shouldn’t feel like a second job. Nova, your AI health assistant on Joined Bio, gives you answers so you can spend less time searching and more time living.
You’re at a new specialist’s office. The intake form asks when your symptoms started, which medications you’ve tried, and the date of your last bloodwork. You know you have the answers somewhere. You just can’t find them.
For many people, especially those living with a chronic or rare condition, this is a familiar moment. Your care is spread across different doctors, clinics, and portals, and you end up as the person holding it all together. Remembering dates, tracking results, and repeating your story at every visit adds up to a real mental load. Nova is here to share that load.
Meet Nova
Nova is an AI health assistant built right into your Joined Bio account. Think of it as a knowledgeable guide who has your health history at hand and explains it in words that make sense.
What Nova does?
- Answer questions about your own health. Nova draws on your Complete Health Record, the single view of your medical history that brings together information from your doctors, your uploaded files, and what you’ve shared with us.
- Speaks plain language. Ask the way you’d normally talk, like “Give me a summary of my health” or “When was my last tetanus vaccine?”, and get a clear, direct answer.
- Helps with general health questions. Not sure what a term or test means? Nova can help with that too.
- Shows you around Joined Bio. If you’re new or looking for something, Nova can point you in the right direction.
How Nova helps you?
Nova turns scattered records into answers you can use. Instead of being your own record keeper, you have an assistant ready whenever a question comes up, whether that’s at 10 p.m. before a visit or in the middle of filling out a form. You stay informed and prepared, and you feel more in control of your own care.
Free for all Joined Bio users
Nova comes with your Joined Bio account at no cost. There’s no subscription and no fee to ask about your own health information.
You don’t have to join a research study to use it, either. Some health record services charge a yearly membership for their AI assistant, or only waive the fee while you’re enrolled in a study. We think understanding your own health shouldn’t come with a price tag or conditions attached.
Whether you’re taking part in a study, exploring your options, or just getting started, Nova is there for you, free, every day.
Why it’s worth asking Nova
Nova reads your own health record and answers your questions in everyday language. That simple change makes a few things a lot easier.
- You stop hunting for answers. No more logging into three portals or flipping through folders to find one date. Ask Nova, and the answer is there in seconds.
- You walk into appointments prepared. Appointments are short, and it’s easy to forget something important. A quick summary from Nova before your visit helps you remember what’s changed, what to mention, and what to ask.
- You see the bigger picture. When your results live in different places, it’s hard to notice how things are changing. Nova can show you how a measure like your heart rate is trending over time, so patterns don’t slip past you.
- You understand your own information. Medical records are written for clinicians, not for you. Nova can answer general health questions too, so you can make sense of what your records say.
- You don’t have to remember everything. Your history is organized and ready whenever you need it. That’s one less thing to carry around in your head.
Small moments, made easier
Nova is most useful in the everyday moments that used to take time and stress.
- The night before an appointment. Ask for a summary of your health and walk in with your history clear in your mind.
- Filling out a new patient form. Need the date of your last vaccine or a past test? Ask instead of guessing.
- Between visits. Curious how you’ve been doing lately? Check how your numbers are trending without waiting for your next appointment.
- When something in your record is confusing. Ask a general health question and get a plain-language answer.
The more Nova knows, the more it can help
Nova’s answers come from your Complete Health Record, so every piece you add makes them sharper. You can connect your providers’ patient portals, add details yourself, and now upload files like lab reports or a summary from a specialist you saw years ago. Those are often the pieces no single system has.
There’s a second benefit too. A fuller record helps us match you with research studies where your experience is exactly what’s needed. Taking a few minutes to build your record doesn’t just make Nova more helpful. It can open the door to studies that could shape future treatments.
Start with one question
You don’t need a complete record to begin. Log in to your Joined Bio account, open Nova, and ask whatever’s on your mind. It can help you get around the platform and answer general health questions from day one. Then add your records whenever you’re ready, and watch its answers get more personal. Your health information belongs to you. Nova helps you actually use it.
