Digital doctor-patient communication

The traditional consultation in a doctor’s practice often presents significant challenges for everyone involved. Issues such as the doctor’s lack of time or the perception of doctors as authority figures by patients—combined with a certain nervousness during the appointment—often result in important questions or details about the medical condition being left unmentioned.

Digital tools can play a crucial role in improving preparation for medical consultations. Features like photo and diary functions in dedicated apps, which can also be exported and shared with medical staff, contribute to a more comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition. Additionally, they help increase efficiency during the consultation.
