DischargeBuddy

DischargeBuddy was born out of a personal experience. While managing my mother's care and taking her to different hospitals and specialists for her terminal illness, Motor Neuron Disease (MND) consultations, I experienced how exhausting and fragmented long-term care can become. Every new consultation meant carrying medical records, explaining her history again, keeping track of changing prescriptions, and remembering follow-up instructions. With caregivers changing frequently, ensuring that everyone understood her condition, medication schedule, daily care requirements, and warning signs became an additional responsibility. The problem was not just accessing medical care; it was maintaining continuity of care between hospital visits. DischargeBuddy aims to bridge this gap by turning complex hospital discharge documents into a simple, actionable care plan. Users can upload discharge summaries and receive structured information about medications, follow-up appointments, care instructions, warning signs, and daily tasks. All records are retained in one account, making historical medical information accessible whenever needed. A centralized care checklist helps patients, family members, and changing caregivers stay aligned, while reminders help prevent missed follow-ups. With AI-powered document understanding, multilingual accessibility, and persistent medical records, DischargeBuddy aims to reduce the burden on families and caregivers. It transforms discharge paperwork from something families struggle to interpret into a practical, shared guide for continuing care at home. The goal is simple: better continuity of care, less information lost between consultations, and fewer things for already overwhelmed caregivers to remember.
