## What is Patiently?

Patiently – Your AI Health Companion

Medical appointments move fast. By the time you're home, half of what the doctor said is already fuzzy. Patiently records your visits, summarizes them in plain language, and builds your Medical Memory, a growing picture of your health that gets smarter with every visit.

RECORD & UNDERSTAND

Press record at your next appointment, or import recordings you already have. Patiently transcribes the conversation and extracts the key points: diagnoses, medications, follow-ups, all in about a minute. Each visit builds your Medical Memory.

YOUR MEDICAL MEMORY

Your Medical Memory is built from the richest source: the conversation between doctor and patient. Patiently captures what matters: tests ordered, medications discussed, referrals made, results explained. It organizes them into Health Topics. Tap any topic for a plain-English explanation. Get research articles tailored to your history, not generic search results.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Forgot what the doctor said about that medication? Ask Patiently. Get answers grounded in your actual visits and trusted medical sources, with citations so you know where the information came from.

YOUR WHOLE FAMILY

Track visits for kids, aging parents, yourself (and even your pets). Share with family so everyone stays informed, whether you're the one at the appointment or the one who needs to know what happened.

READ ON YOUR COMPUTER

Everything you record on your phone is also available from your computer. Go to our website, patiently.me, and sign in with the same account to see your summaries, transcripts, follow-ups, and the original recording, plus your research topics and past questions. The web view is read-only, so recording and new questions stay in the app.

PRIVATE & SECURE

• Lock Patiently with Face ID or Touch ID using the app lock built into iOS
• Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest
• Your data is never sold or used for ads
• Delete anytime, you're in control

YOU OWN YOUR DATA

Every visit's original recording, full transcript, and summary are yours to keep. Using the standard iOS Share menu, email them to yourself, save them to an app like Google Drive, or AirDrop them to your Mac.

FREE DURING BETA

Patiently is free during beta. We may introduce a subscription later.

A NOTE-TAKER IN YOUR POCKET

Patiently does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your doctor's advice. It's like having someone beside you taking notes, so you can listen to your doctor instead of writing.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-05-07*

I am so grateful to have found this app!! I have chronic health issues so I am seeing several different doctors. It is hard to keep everything organized. But with this app it records appointment conversations and then quickly turns them into summaries for me. It has been a lifesaver! I have struggled taking notes and understanding everything said during my appointments. I have asked family and friends who come with me to take notes instead because I would miss so much. Now I don’t need them or I to do that anymore! I feel like this app is my personal secretary as it records a full transcript of the conversation, then gives me a brief summary of what was discussed, including a section of the things I need to do. Then I take that summary page and text it to my family to give them a health update on how my doctor’s appointment went. This app keeps all of my recordings organized by date and name. Summaries too! This app is heaven sent and I am so grateful for it!!!

### 5/5 — Makes self care manageable!

*2026-03-25*

My doctor was onboard with my request to record our last visit,  and it was super helpful to not only review the topics I brought up later at home, but to later see and recall her response to my many inquiries.  The text format from this app showing speaker one and speaker two is perfect ! The relevant studies and medical information that the app detected during our conversation was confirmed by other further research and MD confirmation. Very helpful!

### 5/5 — A great app for logging fertility journey 📋

*2026-01-15*

This app has been super helpful during my recent fertility visits/journey especially since I can revisit my convos with my doctor(s) at any point to keep track of where I’m at. It’s also great to be able to share the updates directly with my partner. So helpful!!!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-27

When you open a visit, Patiently now shows you its summary first, so what your doctor said and what to do next are the first things you see. The full transcript and the recording are still one tap away, on the Transcript tab.

Sharing a visit with family is now easier to find: in the Share menu, choose Share Visit to give someone their own access to it in Patiently.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-19

This update focuses on making your recordings more reliable, in three ways.

1. Most things now leave a recording running. Declining or silencing an incoming call, notifications arriving, locking your phone, and switching to another app all leave your recording going.
2. If your recording is interrupted, it resumes once the microphone is free again. Answering a call, using Siri, or an alarm going off will interrupt the recording, and everything from before and after is saved together as one recording. After a longer call, Patiently may need one tap to start again, and the record screen will show you.
3. Your recording keeps going while you use the camera. If your doctor pulls up a scan to walk you through it, you can take a photo or video of it without stopping your visit recording.

The record screen shows whether you're recording, paused, or interrupted, along with an accurate running time. You can also check whether a recording is still running from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, without opening the app.

Also in this release:

(A) Patiently's own Face ID lock has been replaced by the app lock built into iOS. If you used Face ID with Patiently, you'll need to turn it on again: touch and hold the Patiently icon on your Home Screen and choose Require Face ID. The steps are also in Settings.

(B) The For You tab is now called Research.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-01-15

- Cloud backup — your visits are now saved securely in the cloud, accessible from any iOS device
- Share visits with family — invite family members to see visits directly in their app
- Face ID / Touch ID — protect your medical data with biometric security
- "Explain this article" — tap to understand research articles in plain language

### 1.0.2 — 2025-12-02

- Support for longer appointments — recordings up to 2+ hours now process reliably
- Share your notes — export summary, full transcript, or audio recording to any app
- Clearer workflow — new "Process Recording" button for newly recorded (or imported) recordings

### 1.0.1 — 2025-08-15
