The app puts your complete health story in your pocket by allowing you to record and summarize doctor's appointments, translate and simplify intimidating medical documents, and securely share updates with loved ones. Built with a strong commitment to privacy, Ditto stores all your data securely on your own device, ensuring your sensitive health information remains yours alone.

Features of Ditto

Record and Summarize Appointments

Never miss a crucial detail again. Ditto allows you to record your conversations with healthcare professionals during appointments. The app then intelligently transforms that audio into a clear, written summary. This means you can fully focus on the conversation with your doctor, knowing you'll have an accurate and easy-to-review recap of diagnoses, treatment plans, and next steps afterward, without relying on memory alone.

Simplify Medical Documents

Medical letters, test results, and discharge summaries can be full of intimidating terminology. Ditto cuts through the confusion. Simply take a photo of any medical document with your phone, and the app will translate the complex language into plain, understandable terms. This feature empowers you to truly comprehend your health information, making it easier to ask informed questions and make confident decisions about your care.

Secure Sharing with Loved Ones

Managing health often involves a support network. Ditto makes it simple to keep family and friends informed on your terms. You can choose exactly which appointment summaries or document explanations you want to share, and with whom. This puts you in complete control, saving you from repeating information and ensuring your loved ones are accurately updated, which is especially valuable during ongoing treatments or recovery.

All-in-One Health Organizer

Ditto eliminates the hassle of scattered health information. Instead of juggling paper letters, different patient portals, and forgotten notes, you can organize your entire health journey in one simple, secure place. The app serves as a centralized hub for your appointment summaries, explained documents, and shared updates, giving you a coherent and accessible timeline of your care whenever you need it.

Use Cases of Ditto

Navigating a New Diagnosis

Receiving a new diagnosis can be overwhelming, and important information is often lost in the stress of the moment. With Ditto, you can record the consultation where the diagnosis is explained. The clear summary helps you process the information later, understand your condition, and prepare questions for follow-up visits. Simplifying any related medical documents further ensures you grasp all aspects of your treatment plan.

Supporting a Family Member's Care

When a loved one is unwell, coordinating care and information among family members is challenging. Ditto allows the patient or primary caregiver to record appointments and share the summaries with selected family members. This keeps everyone on the same page, reduces miscommunication, and allows the support network to provide better, more informed help without burdening the patient with constant updates.

Managing Pregnancy and Pediatrics

Prenatal visits and pediatric check-ups are information-dense. Expectant parents or parents of young children can use Ditto to capture all the details from midwife or doctor appointments, from growth metrics to vaccination schedules. The summaries become a valuable log of the journey, and the ability to share them instantly with a partner or grandparent helps build a shared understanding and support system.

Understanding Chronic Condition Management

Managing a chronic illness involves frequent specialist visits and complex care instructions. Ditto acts as a personal health secretary, creating reliable records of every consultation. By having a searchable history of what was discussed and decided, you can track your progress over time, ensure consistency in your care, and provide accurate information to any new healthcare providers you may see.
