How is Wingspan Health different from PicnicHealth?
What is PicnicHealth?
PicnicHealth is a service that gathers all of your medical records using different methods like phone calls, faxes, and navigating patient portals so you don’t have to.
After they manually get your health information for an initial setup cost, you get a timeline of your health history on their website. Also, you will pay a monthly recurring fee to continue accessing your information on their site.
What is Wingspan Health?
Wingspan Health is a web app that automatically pulls your records in from your patient portals - whether they're MyChart or another type of software like Cerner, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, and others.
This lets you see your records in one place so you don't need to hop between lots of accounts to see trends or answer questions a new doctor might have for you.

Trends for Lab Results or Vital Signs
In PicnicHealth, your healthcare data is organized as a timeline of events.
In Wingspan Health, your clinical data is organized by what was tested!
In Wingspan Health, we map the data which means that we can show you all of your cholesterol tests (or TSH, CBC, BMP, etc) in a table together. That way you can see insights instantly - and you get a view of your data that your doctor might not even have access to!
Health Maintenance Tasks
Wingspan Health tailors recommendations to maintain your health, based on information from your demographics and your medical records.
The same mapping infrastructure that lets us show you similar test results altogether also lets us give you personalized insights about the health maintenance tasks you need like pap smears, mammograms, and blood pressure. For example, how often you should get a pap test is driven by your age, but also by your previous test results.
Family History
You can organize your family medical history in your Wingspan Health account.
The family history feature that lets you quickly and easily fill out information for your relatives through a questionnaire.
OR! Instead of you filling it out, you can send your relatives a link to answer questions about their own health history - and it goes right into your Wingspan Health account. We then help you see trends in your family history by grouping similar conditions together so you can better understand your health risks in a pivot table and family tree diagram.
Health Risks
Wingspan Health gives you a summary of your risk factors for common diseases or conditions.
Based on information from family history, vital signs, lab results, and other questionnaires, Wingspan Health gives you a sense of your risk for developing common health conditions. This lets you understand what you should be paying attention to, what you're doing well, and what you don't have to worry about.
