About us
Medudoc - Medical Education and Documentation
We are ...
... a digital health start-up based in Berlin:
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.
... 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.
... 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
12019 - 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.
22020 - 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.
32020 - 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.
42021 - 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.
52021 - Launch of medudoc
November 2021 marks the official launch date of medudoc in the first clinic.
62022 - 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.
72022 - 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.
8We'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.
