"Recording adds something to the conversation. Emotion makes people forget a lot, so reading it back in a calm moment helps."

Joost Jansen, Longarts, Ikazia Rotterdam Zuid

No one has the full picture, not even the person it's about.

Much of what's said in the room is forgotten, even by the patient. And the people around them never had the full story to begin with.

Staying on top of things falls on the person who's ill.

Remembering every detail and relaying it to everyone lands on the one person who should be focusing on getting better.

The people who want to help, often can't.

They're ready to carry their share, but without the same picture, they can't step in. So it all stays with one person.

Make sure your patient has the right information, whenever needed.

Ditto helps your patients understand what was discussed, remember what matters, and inform their family - so the care you delivered in the room continues to work at home.

"I tried Ditto myself and it really is straightforward…to all healthcare workers try it, and if you're just as convinced, recommend it to your patients.

Wanda de Kanter, Pulmonologist

"It's a double-edged blade, the patient gets a nice summary, but as a healthcare provider you'll see that when they take it home, you'll see fewer questions ending back up in the consultation room"

Wilbert van Oorschot, Huisarts
