What people are saying

We knew everything they did, without my sister-in-law having to remember it all and repeat it to us. It was wonderful! Everyone could keep up with the situation. Then, the best part!! We got to hear my brother's voice! Best moment ever!

Medcorder has helped my family so much! It can be difficult to take in all the information in a doctor visit, so my sister used the recordings to re-listen to the doctor's plan and advice.

Mia C.

I am 82 and sometimes I forget what I was told when meeting with the doctor. This app is great because when asked what happened at the doctor's office, I am able to say, "just listen.

Sometimes what I thought I knew about what the doctor said was different, so going back through the recording and transcript answers my questions.

Common Questions

Why record?

Patients remember only about 10% of the content of their doctor’s appointment by the next day, and doctors speak at about 130 words per minute.

Doctor conversations can be stressful and overwhelming, especially during a serious medical situation, making it difficult to accurately remember everything discussed. Having a recording of what the doctor said can help patients better retain important information, gain a better understanding of options, and make the best decisions possible.

Is recording OK?

Yes. As a patient, you are allowed to record - with doctor permission - and share your own medical conversations as you see fit.

Asking to record a conversation is within your rights as a patient. We've found that asking permission works best when patients share the reason why they are recording (for example, to share with family not in the room) and the hoped-for outcome (better remembering what the doctor said). In some cases, a doctor may be more comfortable just recording a summary of the discussion at the end. If your doctor has questions, you can point them to more information For Providers.

When can Medcorder help?

Making sure you remember what the doctor said.

Helping care for aging parents, when you can’t be there.

When one parent can’t make it to the pediatrics appointment.
