Ditto.care realtime chat

Ditto is a privacy-first, patient-owned mobile app that acts as a “patient scribe.” It records medical consultations (with consent), photographs medical documents/letters, and uses proprietary AI to produce structured, plain-language summaries. These include diagnoses, treatment plans, action points, and suggested questions for the next visit.

It addresses common problems: patients forgetting 40–80% of medical information, misunderstanding diagnoses/treatments, fragmented records across providers, and the burden of repeatedly explaining appointments to family. Key features include appointment recording + summarization, document explanation via photo, preparation tools (suggested questions, notes), calendar integration for appointments/follow-ups, a unified timeline of care across GPs/specialists/midwives, and secure sharing.

Care Circle System

The Care Circle is the controlled, end-to-end encrypted sharing and coordination layer for which I was hired to * make platform choices * design an api * design and build an implementation (using python and fastapi)

How it works:

• Invitation & membership: The patient invites family, partners, friends, or caregivers via in-app invite. Invites are time-limited (e.g., 7 days in recent updates).
• What members receive: Members see selected summaries, care updates, prepared notes/questions ahead of appointments, and (depending on configuration) timeline elements.
• Security model: Sharing uses end-to-end encryption. Only the patient and invited members hold the keys. Recordings/summaries primarily live on the patient’s device.
