The big idea
You forget 80% of what a doctor says within an hour. AI can take your messy post-visit notes and turn them into a clean summary with action items so you don't lose track of meds or follow-ups.
How to use it
- Dump your post-visit notes into AI and ask for a 5-section summary
- Ask AI to flag any words you didn't fully understand
- Ask AI to extract a clean to-do list with deadlines
- Ask AI to draft a follow-up email to the doctor if anything's unclear
Try it
After your next appointment, brain-dump your notes into AI. Ask for a summary with action items and questions for next time.
