Turn scattered medical records into a clear chronology
Upload depositions, nursing notes, physician records, and EMR data. MedChron extracts every timestamped event and reconstructs the complete medical story automatically.
Built for the complexity of medical litigation
Every feature designed around how legal and medical professionals actually work with records.
Multi-Format Ingestion
Upload PDFs, Word documents, scanned images, and plain text. Process individual files or entire batches of records at once.
AI Clinical Extraction
Automatically identifies medications, procedures, vital signs, diagnoses, and timestamps from unstructured clinical text.
Unified Timeline
All events across all documents consolidated into a single, sortable, filterable chronological timeline with source attribution.
Manual Tagging
Add your own timestamped events to capture details from unstructured notes, depositions, or witness accounts not in EMR records.
Legal Narrative Generation
AI synthesizes all chronological data into a formal medical narrative document suitable for legal filings and expert witness preparation.
Precision Filtering
Filter timeline by document type, date range, event type, facility, or provider. Export filtered views as structured data.
Medication Ledger
Complete medication record with dose, route, prescriber, and indication — all extracted and verified against the source document.
Vital Signs Tracking
All recorded vital sign measurements organized chronologically with the source nurse or provider identified.
Multi-Case Management
Organize multiple matters simultaneously. Each case has its own documents, timeline, and narrative completely isolated from others.
Every clinical event in sequence, with full source attribution
The MedChron timeline displays each event with its exact timestamp, event type, source document, facility, provider, and clinical significance — all extracted automatically from your records.
- Color-coded by event type for rapid visual scanning
- Verbatim excerpts from source documents displayed inline
- Flag critical events for immediate attention
- Manual entries clearly distinguished from extracted data
- Export to TSV for use in litigation support tools
From records to chronology in four steps
Create a Case
Set up a matter with patient information, case number, and incident date. All documents and events are organized by case.
Upload Records
Upload PDFs, images, and text documents. Classify each by type — nursing notes, physician records, depositions, anesthesia, and more.
AI Extracts Data
The AI reads each document and extracts every timestamped clinical event, medication, procedure, and vital sign recording.
Review & Narrate
Review the unified timeline, add manual tags for anything missed, then generate a formal legal narrative for expert review.
From attorneys who work with complex medical records
"I used to spend three days manually building a chronology from hundreds of pages of ICU records. MedChron does it in under an hour and catches timestamps I would have missed buried in nursing notes."
"The narrative generation feature is remarkable. It produces a coherent clinical story from fragmented records that I can give directly to our medical expert for review. It speaks their language."
"Our firm handles multiple cases simultaneously. Being able to isolate each matter, with its own complete timeline and medication ledger, means nothing gets mixed up and everything is audit-ready."
Frequently asked questions
MedChron processes PDFs, DOCX, TXT, PNG, JPG, and TIFF files. It is specifically designed for depositions, nursing notes, physician records, anesthesia records, pharmacy notes, EMR/EHR data exports, operative notes, discharge summaries, laboratory results, and imaging reports. If the document contains timestamped clinical information, MedChron can extract it.
The AI extracts timestamps with a confidence score — high, medium, or low — so you always know how certain the system is. For structured records like EMR exports, accuracy is very high. For handwritten-based OCR or ambiguous note formats, accuracy varies. You can always review extracted events and add manual corrections or supplementary tags for anything the AI missed.
Yes. The "Tag Event" feature lets you add any timestamped event manually — including information from depositions, witness statements, phone records, or other non-clinical sources. Manual entries are clearly distinguished from AI-extracted events in the timeline view so the chain of custody is always clear.
Once you have a populated timeline, the "Generate Narrative" function uses AI to synthesize all chronological events, medications, procedures, and vital signs into a formal, third-person medical narrative. The narrative uses precise clinical language appropriate for legal filings and expert witness preparation. It identifies critical events and flags apparent documentation gaps.
Data is stored securely in an encrypted database. Each user account's cases and documents are completely isolated — no data is shared between accounts. Documents are stored using secure, access-controlled file storage. We recommend following your firm's standard data handling procedures when uploading documents containing PHI.
Yes. MedChron supports any number of simultaneous cases, each with its own documents, timeline, medication ledger, procedure log, vital signs record, and narrative. Cases are completely isolated from each other. You can switch between active cases at any time from the navigation.
Yes. The timeline supports filtering by event type (medication, procedure, vital sign, note, lab, imaging, etc.), source document type (nursing notes, physician records, anesthesia records, etc.), and date range. You can also search by keyword across all event titles and descriptions.
The timeline can be exported as a tab-separated values (TSV) file that opens cleanly in Excel or other spreadsheet tools. The narrative can be copied to clipboard with a single click for pasting into Word or your case management system. Additional export formats may be added in future updates.
MedChron is a web application that works in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, and mobile devices. No software installation is required. A larger screen (laptop or desktop) is recommended for reviewing detailed timelines, but the application is fully responsive.
Support is available through the application. For critical issues with time-sensitive litigation matters, please note this in your inquiry for priority handling. We are committed to same-business-day response for all support requests from active subscribers.
