    As an interdisciplinary team we strive to optimize patient education processes for physicians and patients by creating intelligible patient education videos in close cooperation with medical experts.

    Contrary to generalised paper-based consent forms, our educational videos are personalized as the treating physician tailors it to their individual patient by adjusting parameters on the digital medudoc platform.

    ... ahead of the curve:

    Contrary to generalised paper-based consent forms, our educational videos are personalized as the treating physician tailors them to their individual patient by adjusting parameters on the digital medudoc platform.

    By automating highly repetitive tasks, which do not require health care professionals’ individual attention, we aim to alleviate heavy workloads, increase time efficiency and therefore create the opportunity for doctors to focus on meaningful, personalized patient education.

    ... conscious of doctors' needs:

      • By automating highly repetitive tasks, which do not require health care professionals’ individual attention, we aim to alleviate heavy workloads, increase time efficiency and therefore create the opportunity for doctors to focus on meaningful, personalized patient education.

      • Rather than replacing the individual patient-physician communication through technology or restricting doctors in their autonomy, medudoc enables physicians to focus on aspects of their profession that truly require and emphasise their unique abilities.

      Our vision: 

      Improving Healthcare through innovative patient education

      1.

      Imagine a patient who is engaged and optimistic about an upcoming procedure instead of being overwhelmed and resigned.

       

      2. 

      Now think about a doctor who has peace of mind. For the first time, there is a digital aid that relieves profane tasks to focus on what matters most.

       

      3.

      We imagine a world that transcends from legal necessity toward real knowledge transfer and medical understanding for everyone.

    • Our success story

      1

      2019 - Birth of an idea

      Doctors educate patients and get informed consent on a daily basis through analogue and paper-based processes. The need for visual and personalized explanations on the patients' side is huge. Doctors on the other hand demand an easy-to-use digital solution that, usefully integrated, eases their daily operations.

      Born in the department of Neurosurgery a Chief Physician in Switzerland is pushing to create a new standard for patient education: Personalised animated video education and documentation.

      2

      2020 - Validation & Clinical Testing

      A good idea is not enough. With a first prototype, the founding team manages to win valuable key partners for clinical test phases. During the first test set-ups, it quickly becomes clear that there is a great need for individual and, above all, patient-centred visual support.

      3

      2020 - Team Growth

      After proving the fundamental need for a new standard in patient education, medudoc manages to recruit central team members for the areas of product development, medical content creation as well as patient psychology.

      4

      2021 - Clinical Co-Creation 

      A central component of medudoc is customisable video content, which can be specifically adapted to different patient needs. Together with innovative and ambitious clinic partners, the first medical content and data models were developed in close cooperation and then tested in various pilots.

      5

      2021 - Launch of medudoc

      November 2021 marks the official launch date of medudoc in the first clinic.

      6

      2022 - Scaling Up

      After positive results and feedback from patients and clinicians, the medudoc team is growing and winning excellent support to grow in the areas of business development and clinical testing. At the same time, more clinics start using medudoc for patient education and clinical studies prove the positive effect of individualised video education in informed consent processes.

      7

      2022 - Conquering in DACH

      It is medudoc's vision to transform healthcare through innovative patient education worldwide. Being active in the DACH region and catering to three countries' individual needs in regard to informed consent is a major milestone for the company and the underlying base to expand internationally.

      8

      We're not finished

      We have a big vision and aim to bring individualised and video-based patient education to every clinic. Therefore we will grow our medical content library as well as our access to clinics. With new features lined up such as real-time AI translations, we will eradicate language barriers in hospitals. With our digital signature, we will offer a holistic digital informed consent process.

    • "Patient education is an important task, but modernization is absolutely necessary. A digital video-based solution not only saves physicians valuable time, but also leads to better informed and satisfied patients". Prof. Dr. med. Oliver Bozinov, initiator of medudoc

       

      As a neurosurgeon, informed consent procedures with my patients are part of my daily routine. Patients often have the same questions and express their need for a more visual explanation. Of course, the legal side must also be taken into account. Expert opinions often decide to the disadvantage of the practitioner because a complication was not well documented in the informed consent.


      It is time to develop a digital and easily reproducible procedure that takes into account the individuality of each patient and at the same time provides full legal protection.


      Videos of many different operations are available, either partially or comprehensively. But these are practically not individualized and thus one loses again time explaining the personal differences to patients and one risks legal omissions. The video must be individualized for the patient immediately!

       

      With medudoc's tool, medical education and documentation are digital, visual and, in particular, individually tailored to the respective patient. On average, this saves half the time for clarification discussions. The time gained can be invested in the treatment of other patients.
