I'm a pediatrician and every day I watch parents walk out of my hospital nodding like they understood everything. Unfortunately, I know half of them won't remember the plan by the time they reach the car. But it's not just my patients. It's the daughter in Chicago who calls her dad after his cardiology appointment and gets "it went fine, I think they changed a medicine." It's the husband trying to explain to his wife what the oncologist said but he can't remember the exact words. It's the provider who spends ten minutes reconstructing a patient's history because nobody (including the previous provider) wrote it down in a way that's actually useful. Patients forget 40–80% of what their doctor tells them. Providers spend more time on paperwork than on the person in front of them. And the family members holding it all together? They're working off of phone calls and guesswork. The visit itself isn't broken. Everything around it is. So we built Alcott because we’ve lived this problem. We’ve been the daughter calling from another city asking what the doctor said. We’ve been the son trying to track three specialists and a medication list that keeps changing. So we built Alcott, a companion for the entire visit journey.
