- Do you or a family member need to understand and remember important details of discussions with a doctor?
You can use this app to *audio record, transcribe, and share* your doctor visit discussions with people you select. Recordings are private and secure.
Medcorder (www.medcorder.com) is a free smartphone app for seniors or anyone whose anxiety level, impaired memory, or reduced attention may interfere with full recall of important details of doctor visit discussions.
The app developer has personal experience of having to deal at long distance with his mother, father, and brother going through cancer treatments. As a result, he created this app to allow patients to capture important details of their doctor visits and share them with family and selected friends.
The app on the patient’s smart phone creates audio recordings (with the doctor's permission) of the visit, then transcribes (by machine) the content, and shares the transcription with people invited by the patient.
The app sends the encrypted audio file from the smartphone to secure servers for transcription and storage. Neither the audio nor the transcription is stored in the patient's chart. The patient, not the doctor, initiates the recording and shares the transcript with selected family / friends.
(Note: To insure that the complete audio recording is preserved intact, the healthcare provider should make their own audio recording of the discussion as well and keep the recording in the patient's chart.)

Would you find it helpful to make audio recordings of important discussions with your doctor?
Just exactly what our family needs! Thank you for this amazing app and channel. ❤
This is a wonderful idea. I have recently been dealing with a lot of complex medical problems. I think this will be really helpful, because I get very nervous when I am going into a doctor’s appointment and miss a lot of what’s being said. This way I can review the appointment later when I feel calmer. I look forward to put this app to use.
Sounds great, not available outside of USA? I'm in New Zealand.
Myles Morris: The CEO of Medcorder writes " The application is currently only available in the United States. This is mainly due to the complexity of the regulatory environment in which we operate. We are confident the service is lawful in the US, but it may need extra research or changes in order to operate in other countries. Some countries, for instance, may mandate that the health data never leave that country. That would obviously require some infrastructure changes on our side.". Sorry that service is not yet available outside the US.
@@DanGardnerMD Thanks for your prompt reply Dan, makes perfect sense. Thank you for taking the time to create this channel as well, which I found from www.aut.ac.nz/traumatic-brain-injury-tbi-network. The one with Herb Hene you hit the nail on the head in that it's not just finding out who the NEW me is but accepting that as well (the hard part). Grieving the loss not sure I'm that good at that. 52-year-old male mild TBI/DAI from head-on MVA tourist on the wrong side oops. 20 odd MRI foci scattered sub-cortical 1 in cc. Not diagnosed Serious abdominal injuries as well, the gut-brain connection I know very well. My very patient wife (Optometrist who also does vision therapy) has fought for me to keep my independence. I was a self-employed industrial engineer, started struggling on the job. Short term memory, processing speed, word finding deficits, anxiety. Take everything literally. Isolation has undoubtedly bumped me up the wrong end of depression/social anxiety scale. Went back and did some small engineering jobs recently. Anxious. But 52 too old to retrain, and even without a TBI changing job/career is interesting at this age. Hmm.
Thanks again for the channel and taking an interest in us the "born again". There is a lot more going on with TBI in the USA with football and war vets but like here it takes money to try different therapies etc. In desperation, I have looked far and wide my wife's vision therapy seems to produce the best improvements. What do you think of this Neurofeedback www.brainharmonics.co.nz ?
As Dan passed on, we are looking forward to making Medcorder available worldwide, but it will probably be one country at a time. :)
