Medical literature extending back to 1977 demonstrates the power and impact of sending patients home with a recording of the consult.

There’s nothing better than being able to hear your doctor’s words again, and play them back for family. Studies show that patients forget up to 90% of the information shared in a consult by the next day. Having a recording eases the burden on both the patient and doctor and ensures every detail is remembered.

Medcorder has helped tens of thousands of patients across the U.S. better understand their doctor. Now it’s available for exam rooms.

Medcorder launched as a free smartphone app in 2018 to help patients understand their doctor and share what was said during an appointment with family and caregivers.

Since then we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients take control of their care journey, understand every word their doctor says in complex care scenarios and loop family and caregivers in for support. We’ve been a top-rated app in the U.S. app store with 3-4x more usage than our competitors. We’re also undergoing clinical trials with UCSF.

Now, we’re making it even easier for patients and doctors to benefit from the clarity and accessiblity of consult recordings and transcripts by offering a tablet device for the exam room.

How It Works

The Medcorder Tablet can be mounted on the exam room wall, placed on a counter or attached to a rolling stand. With your permission, patients can initiate recording in a few simple steps.

The Patient taps "Get Started"

The Patient chooses their doctor

The Patient enters their phone number and hits "Begin Recording"

Recording continues until the patient taps "Stop", with the option to resume or end the recording

All Done!
The Patient will get a text with a link to view their recording online, with the option to download our free app.

TESTIMONIALS

Medcorder is helping doctors and patients communicate and make better decisions. We rely on it extensively at UCSF. Medcorder is a key component in our program to encourage audio-recording as a vital means of improving patient-centered care. We find it also eases the burden on physicians and other caregivers.

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."

Patient, Medcorder app user

Medcorder has found a simple, elegant, and effective way for patients and their families to navigate their medical journey.

Dr. John Durant, MD

Family Physician for 20+ years

Have been using this app to record pediatric appointments for our infant. With covid-19, only one parent can attend the appointment, so it's great that the other parent can listen to the recording instead relying on the memory of the attending parent.

A friend took my dad to an important doctor appointment because my sister and I couldn't go. It worked perfectly. Sister and I had transcript of the appointment before Dad got home.

The audio recording was clear and audible, and the transcription came out great too. My daughter had already seen it in the chat room and listened to it before I could send her a text to remind her!
