Dr. Randall W. Porter, a neurosurgeon with Barrow Neurosurgical Associates in Phoenix, AZ., created Medical Memory after his father was diagnosed with cancer and launched in 2014. His father lived in Chicago and Dr. Porter experienced the challenges and frustrations of having to rely on family members to accurately recite complex information about his father’s condition and treatment. The experience had a profound effect on Dr. Porter’s approach to patient communication in his own practice.
“I knew immediately how inefficient it was for physicians and their staffs to have the same conversation over and over again. I realized that a better, more efficient process would involve a video of doctor/patient consultations.”
Medical Memory has simply adapted to the societal shift in mobile device use. We want to make patients’ and physicians’ lives easier by providing reliable and accessible information through the devices they use everyday. Healthcare is a human business and Medical Memory provides support and clarity to patients navigating complex health issues.
