Left the ER with a stack of paperwork you can't make sense of? MyDischarge reads your discharge papers and explains everything in plain language. - Photograph your discharge paperwork or choose a file from your phone - Get a clear summary: your diagnosis, medications, warning signs, and follow-up instructions - Chat to ask questions about your specific discharge โ€” like "Do I take this with food?" or "When should I see my doctor?" - Listen to everything read aloud for accessibility - Works in 15+ languages โ€” switch anytime and everything translates PRIVACY FIRST - Your photos never leave your phone. Text is read from the image directly on your device. - Your identity is automatically stripped before anything is sent. We remove your name, date of birth, SSN, insurance IDs, and address on your phone. - Hospital info stays intact. Clinic phone numbers, doctor names, appointments, and medications are kept so we can explain them to you. - No accounts, no sign-up. We don't know who you are, and we don't want to. - Nothing is stored. - You see exactly what was redacted. Full transparency, always. IMPORTANT MyDischarge is not a substitute for medical advice. It explains your existing discharge paperwork in simpler terms. Always call 911 in an emergency. Always follow up with your healthcare provider.
