DocToRead – our team for modern health communication

Behind DocToRead is an interdisciplinary team of experienced experts with a shared goal: to make medical information accessible and to bring about a lasting improvement in communication between patients and doctors.

Trust is the foundation of a well-functioning healthcare system. For this trust to develop, patients must understand what healthcare professionals are explaining. If this does not happen, there is a risk of misinterpretation, uncertainty and, in the worst case, mistrust.

The consequences of a breakdown in communication include wasted time, poor adherence to treatment, misjudgements, poor reviews, or even (legal) disputes.

It is important to bear in mind that we live in an age where search engines and social media provide a wealth of medical information. However, just because information is easily accessible does not mean it is automatically presented in the right context. This often leaves people feeling uncertain – or leads to dangerous half-truths. That is why it is now more important than ever to ensure that discussions are based on sound facts.

This is exactly where DocToRead comes in!

Bastian Hollmann, founder of DocToRead:

“As a former medical staff member at Münster University Hospital and having worked for 20 years in the medical industry in the fields of radiology and radiotherapy, I am well aware of how often patients and their families remain alarmingly uninformed. Medical reports and specialists overwhelm them with their complex technical jargon.

My aim is to provide patients with a tool that makes it easier for them to understand important medical information. After all, it is well established that such understanding can be an important step towards managing their condition.

I am encouraged by the fact that we have already won three awards, received a great deal of support, positive press coverage and feedback from both patients and doctors.”

 

Our team – the heart of DocToRead

Behind DocToRead are people who want to make a difference. Our team takes a scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary approach – working at the intersection of IT, medicine and law.

We learn from one another, grow together and always keep one goal in mind: clear medical communication that delivers real added value. For us, technology is not an end in itself. We combine innovative IT with in-depth industry knowledge to develop solutions that really work in the everyday lives of patients and healthcare professionals.

What sets us apart? Team spirit and the drive to simply do things better. Because, ultimately, it’s always about people – and about better understanding medical conditions and getting well again wherever possible.

From practice, for practice

DocToRead was born out of practical experience – specifically, the realisation that medical content is often difficult to understand, even for specialists. We are united by a shared commitment to addressing this very issue: to develop solutions that provide people with guidance at crucial moments.

 

We take communication to the next level – with an interdisciplinary, international approach and a clear focus on real-life needs. DocToRead is developed with an international perspective – for a healthcare system that knows no language barriers or age limits. Our aim is to make health information accessible to everyone in a way that is tailored to their individual circumstances.

DocToRead ensures that medical information reaches where it is needed – clear, complete, and useful.
