Frequently asked questions

Short answers about what Tendfuls is, who it's for and how the record works. If yours isn't here, ask us.

The basics

What is Tendfuls?

A shared care record for one person, owned by their family and shared with the clinicians, teachers and caregivers who support them. It holds notes, goals, medical history, medications, daily trackers, documents and a crisis plan, with permissions set per person and per category.

Who is it for?

Anyone who needs ongoing support from more than one person: children with additional needs, adults with disabilities, older parents, people recovering from illness or injury. And the teams around them.

Is it a medical record system?

It's a care coordination record, not a hospital EHR. It holds what the family and team choose to put in it and complements clinical systems rather than replacing them. Providers can export from Tendfuls into their own systems.

The record and the team

Who owns the record?

The person being cared for, or their family or legal guardian, holds the owner account. Owners decide who joins, what each person sees and when access ends.

Can a clinic or school create a record?

Yes, on the Growth plan, and the family can be made owner or co-owner so control still sits with them.

How do permissions work?

For each team member the owner chooses, category by category, whether they get full access, a summary, or nothing. Access can be time-limited and is revocable instantly.

What does the pattern detection actually do?

It looks across everything logged for the person and highlights what tends to precede difficult periods and which strategies were followed by better ones, showing the evidence for each. It's there to support the team's judgement, not replace it.

Data and privacy

Can I take my data out?

Yes, at any time, in one click, as PDF, CSV, JSON and a ZIP of attachments. There is no waiting period and no need to contact support.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep read access to the whole record for life and can still export it. Adding new entries or team members requires an active plan.

Is Tendfuls HIPAA compliant?

Tendfuls is designed to meet HIPAA safeguards and offers a Business Associate Agreement on the Growth plan. Whether your use is HIPAA-covered depends on who you are; ask us if you're unsure.

Where is data stored?

In EU data centres for EU and UK customers, and in US data centres for US customers. See the security page and privacy policy.

Billing

Do team members need to pay?

No. Anyone invited to a record uses it free. Providers subscribe only if they want their own billing, insights and multi-record tools.

How does care-management billing work?

Providers log minutes on their notes. At month end Tendfuls totals them per person and code and produces a superbill you can send or import into your practice software.
