The classic consultation in a doctor’s office often poses great challenges for all involved. For example, the doctors’ lack of time or the patients’ perception of the doctors as respected persons, coupled with a certain nervousness in the office often leave important questions or clues about the clinical picture unmentioned.

Here, digital tools can make a decisive contribution to improving preparation for the medical consultation. Photo and diary functions in corresponding apps, which can also be exported and made available to the medical staff, contribute to a complete survey of the clinical picture and are also a contribution to efficiency during the consultation.
