“I had a patient who had aphasia following a CVA. I noticed she was feeling down but wanted to inquire how exactly she was feeling so I could better help her. I was able to use MedConcerns in order for her to identify she was feeling depressed and scared. From there, she seemed to trust me more because I took the time to understand her emotions with this amazing tool!”

“I used MedConcerns with a patient with aphasia while his nurse was there. He pointed to 'bowels' and kind of mimed stirring his water. His nurse figured it out right away and was able to help him. It was clear he was so happy to be understood.”

“MedConcerns is great! MedConcerns has become an every day tool that I rely on to greatly improve my communication with patients with aphasia or other communication difficulties. Working in a rehabilitation hospital, I reach for MedConcerns daily. MedConcerns helps my patients be active participant in their care. My interactions with patients with aphasia are more effective and more efficient since using MedConcerns”

“A patient with severe receptive/expressive aphasia and baseline cognitive impairments continued to express 'burning' pain using the app. I informed the physician that the patient was expressing concerns that may be UTI. The doctor ordered the test based on the patient's expression of symptoms using MedConcerns and the patient was able to receive the appropriate treatment.”

“Thanks for everything you are doing. You are truly making a difference!”

“My sister has had a hard time speaking after her stroke. This app is a wonderful way to communicate with her when she is trying to tell me what’s bothering her. I might never have understood her without it.”

“I showed the education pages in family training. The patient responded by nodding vigorously, smiling, and pointing at the material while looking toward their family, as if to say 'this is what I've been wanting to tell you!' I think having language for their experience can be profound.”

“A patient was able to explain their discomfort more specifically and efficiently to nursing staff rather than just noting pain to nursing staff”

“I learned more about my husband's pain. I didn't know he was getting a burning sensation until we used MedConcerns. I learned so much more because of the app and my husband was so excited to pick out the picture on how he was feeling. What I loved most was how he was engaging with the Doctor. He felt he was being heard. You have no idea what an amazing feeling it is for a doctor to engage and truly hear how the patient is feeling and for the caregiver to watch and witness her loved one being heard. This is truly an amazing app.”
