MyNotes Medical: Making ‘Better Healthcare for Patients and Families’ a Reality

The aim of the MyNotes Medical project is to launch an app and program that will improve communication between patients, carers, GPs and the NHS, leading to better healthcare for all. Wouldn’t the world be a better place if there was app available to download, where it would be the invaluable tool for carers and families as well as patients and their GPs and consultants? If you know someone who is caring for a loved one, either at home or in hospital, who needs all of your attention, it can get too much, too quickly. Doctors ask questions about your loved one’s history, members of your family are continually wanting updates from you as well – and the pressure can get unbearable.

Everyone wants detailed information from you on what has happened, what is happening right now, what is going to happen next and what the general outlook is. But 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. This is where MyNotes Medical come into it, an app that’s currently in the making, to record and share this critical information, making it much easier, far more accurate and complete – for everyone to understand.

There is plenty of evidence in the NHS that poor communication is the main cause of errors in diagnosis and treatment. If the app can encourage and enable the taking and sharing of notes by patients, with the support and encouragement of GPs and consultants, then the app can reduce time wasted and errors in communication. MyNotes Medical is a tool that can be used to improve medical care and practise by simply getting patients, carers and medical professionals to listen, discuss and share vital information in a way that is understood by everyone.

Each and every creator behind MyNotes Medical has a personal experience where poor communication had a major consequence in medical care and wanted to do something to stop it happening to others around. The MyNotes Medical founders have teamed up to combine their 70 years professional experience in business development, marketing, communication, app and web design and technology solutions to manage the project from concept through launch to a national program for patients across the UK. MyNotes Medical want you to be part of this modern application, and to get involved to successfully launch this life-changing app.
