New app to record patients’ medical information
A ‘REALLY USEFUL’ TOOL
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association says the app could help offset problems caused by the loss of medical notes, and adds: “Notes going missing is a big problem – they frequently go missing and are not with patients when they have appointments, so to have an app that records your information will be really useful.”

I’m determined that my mother’s death won’t be in vain – Belfast Telegraph
Blogger and health campaigner Joanna Slater has developed an app in a bid to help tackle communication breakdowns between medics and patients. By Lisa Salmon
Have you ever left a medical appointment and suddenly thought you didn’t understand or can’t remember exactly what the doctor said? Or are you one of the patients whose notes have gone missing?
Health campaigner Joanna Slater is developing an app to help address these very things, called MyNotes Medical, which will enable people to make audio or text recordings of consultations and list treatments and medications they’ve received.
Along with co-founder Brad Meyer, she has now set up a crowdfunding site in a bid to raise money to put the finishing touches to the app, and they hope to be able to launch it later this year.
For Slater, reaching this point was triggered by personal experience. Her 85-year-old mother, Kay, died in hospital in January 2008, six months after being admitted for hip surgery.

Why do I need MyNotes Medical? Warning: Lack of notes can kill
We want to ask you:
What if better communication between patient and NHS could prevent needless illness or death?
Warning: Lack of notes can kill!
Every year, thousands of NHS patients suffer needlessly. Doctors are overworked, mistakes are made and billions of pounds are wasted. The question is, why?
If you have ever been a patient, or your loved one has, you may know for yourself the confusion and stress that often occurs:
- You don’t understand what the doctor or consultant is saying
- Your story is not taken seriously
- You find it difficult to recall your diagnosis or treatment, since you have no notes to refer to
- Perhaps, as a result you are sent away with the wrong diagnosis, or you have to make several appointments.
This is critical:
You don’t understand everything that the medical professionals are asking or saying to you; no one seems to have access to your loved one’s medical history and you are worried that you may generalise, delete or distort something critical when telling people what they need to know. All of this wastes precious time in which you or your loved one could be receiving proper treatment.
The problem is down to a breakdown in communication between patient and consultant. And, the problem has been publicly recognised and acknowledged.
Trouble is, all too often the solution has been developed by medical professionals for the ‘benefit’ of patients but NOT by patients themselves and NOT from a patient’s perspective.
