Features of Ditto

Record and Summarize Appointments

Never miss a crucial detail again. Ditto allows you to record your medical appointments discreetly. It then uses advanced technology to transform that conversation into a clear, concise, and accurate written summary. This means you can revisit your doctor's instructions, diagnosis, and recommendations at any time, turning a stressful conversation into a reliable reference you can trust.

Simplify Medical Documents

Intimidating medical jargon and complex documents become a thing of the past. With Ditto, you can simply take a photo of any medical letter, lab result, or prescription. The app will then translate the professional terminology into clear, everyday language you can understand, empowering you to grasp your own health information fully and make informed decisions.

Secure Sharing with Loved Ones

Your health journey often involves a support network. Ditto puts you in complete control of what you share and with whom. You can easily and securely share appointment summaries, document explanations, or general updates with family members or caregivers, keeping everyone informed and aligned without compromising your privacy.

All-in-One Health Hub

Ditto eliminates the chaos of scattered health information. Instead of juggling paper letters, multiple patient portals, and forgotten notes, the app provides a single, organized, and private place on your own device to store and manage your entire health narrative. This consolidated view helps you see the full picture of your care over time.

Use Cases of Ditto

Managing a Complex Diagnosis

Receiving a complex diagnosis can be overwhelming, with a flood of new information and terms. Ditto acts as a steadfast companion, recording every consultation to create a clear record of treatment plans and translating all related documents. This helps patients and their families build understanding and confidence step-by-step during a challenging time.

Supporting a Family Member's Care

When caring for an aging parent or a sick child, staying updated is crucial. Ditto allows the primary patient to record appointments and share tailored summaries directly with you. This ensures you are accurately informed to provide the right support, coordinate care, and advocate effectively, all while respecting their autonomy.

Navigating Pregnancy

A pregnancy journey is filled with frequent check-ups, scan results, and preparation notes. Ditto helps expectant parents capture every milestone and medical detail, from ultrasound explanations to birth plans. These records can become a cherished, clear story to share with partners and even look back on in the future.

Understanding Prescriptions and Referrals

Often, the instructions on a prescription or the details of a specialist referral can be confusing after you leave the clinic. With Ditto, you can quickly snap a photo of the document. The app will clarify the dosage, purpose, and next steps in simple language, ensuring you follow your doctor's guidance correctly and safely.
