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.
