Everyone knows this!
Medical documents are about you or the health of your loved ones, but you hardly understand a word because of the medical terminology and complicated wording. This is annoying and even dangerous! DocToRead changes that.
The how-please? oh-so effect
The innovative DocToRead app provides a remedy. It translates complex medical reports into easy-to-understand language, because only those who are well informed can make the right decisions for themselves or their loved ones.
“Many of my patients have no idea what their diagnosis really means. DocToRead will remedy this. The app translates medical reports into understandable language and will significantly improve comprehension. The read-aloud function and multilingual support in particular will be valuable aids. I can warmly recommend this app to every patient and their relatives.” Physiotherapy practice Maike Klose, Gummersbach
“Over the last few years, I have painstakingly worked my way through medical reports again and again, trying to understand them in detail. DocToRead is a welcome help for me.” Johannes Bee, patient, Cologne
“DocToRead will revolutionise communication with patients. The app enables them to receive medical reports in an immediately understandable way. This will reduce queries and increase patient satisfaction. DocToRead will save us time and improve the quality of care in the practice.” Prof Dr med Hendrik A. Wolff, Munich

Doctors believe they can explain health problems well. In doing so, they often assume a great deal of specialised knowledge. This can result in misjudgements that lead to unwanted or unnecessary measures, for example. Unnecessary costs are incurred, the doctor-patient relationship suffers and, in the worst case, even health suffers.
Knowledge helps. DocToRead helps you to answer your questions.
DocToRead communicates important individual medical content in an easy-to-understand way. Studies show that patients who are better able to assess their health situation and have a say are more cooperative, adhere better to treatment, take medication more conscientiously and – where the clinical picture allows – also recover more quickly.

Simply ingenious, ingeniously simple, that’s how it works:
You can also have the texts read aloud to you or call them up in different languages. DocToRead also offers you the option of saving the ‘translated’ texts directly to your mobile phone. Whether for further visits to the doctor or for private conversations with relatives, you are well informed and have immediate access to the reports.
As a former medical employee at Münster University Hospital and after 20 years of working for the medical industry in the field of radiology and radiotherapy, I am aware of how often patients and their relatives remain frighteningly uninformed. The medical reports and specialists overwhelm them with their complex technical language.
My aim is to provide patients with a tool that makes it easy for them to understand important medical information. After all, it has been proven that such an understanding can be an important step towards coping with illness.’
