PROBLEM STATEMENT
For people needing surgery or a hospital stay for another treatment, there is a lot to organise (pre-, during- post-surgery) and a lot of information to overview and collect. Not only the patient, but also the medical staff has to spend a lot of time to keep everyone informed. Yet, there is no application that bundles and collects all the relevant information and documents a patient needs.
HOW MIGHT WE
create an app that bundles and collects all information which is relevant and important for patients to help manage their pre, during and post-surgery health process?

Capturing Data
Evernote is a cross-platform app that serves many purposes. It can be your digital file cabinet, note-taking tool, daily journal, task or project management system, recipe-keeper, and more. It is a great example of capturing as much information as possible needed.
ADVANTAGE AND BENEFIT
The APP with its main features, calendar, document archive, and appointment reminder will help a patient feel better and more organised. The patient does not have to call the clinic to find out when his/her appointment is, or where they can get their referral letter for the other doctor. The app makes them feel secure 24/7.
On the other hand, it will reduce the administration workload for the clinic. It will reduce “no-show” spots during the day as the patient is less likely to forget his appointment.
