AfterCare turns your discharge paperwork into a structured recovery plan the moment you upload it. You can add a PDF, take a photo of a printed page, pick an image from your camera roll, or pull a file directly from Google Drive — AfterCare accepts them all and processes each one against your original document, never inventing information that isn’t there.

​
Accepted file types

PDF

Any PDF exported from a hospital system or scanned at home. You can upload multiple PDFs in one batch.

Photo or image

JPEG or PNG. Take a new photo or choose one you already have. Multi-select is supported.

How to upload your paperwork

1

Open the Upload screen

Tap Add your paperwork from the home screen or the navigation menu.
2

Choose how to add your file

Select one of three options:
  • Choose PDF files — opens your device’s file picker filtered to PDFs.
  • Take or upload photos — opens your photo library (or camera) so you can photograph a printed sheet or select an existing image.
  • Connect from Google Drive — available when Google Drive is configured; AfterCare downloads the file from your Drive and uploads it for processing.
You can also drag one or more files onto the upload area if you’re on a desktop browser.
3

Watch the progress bar

AfterCare uploads each file one at a time and shows a live percentage indicator. If you add a batch of files, the screen displays “Adding file 2 of 3… 47%” so you always know where you are.

Wait for processing to complete

After the upload finishes, AfterCare moves the document through its processing pipeline — reading the text, sorting it into sections, finding your medications, appointments, warning signs, recovery timeline, medical terms, and running a final quality check. Each stage is shown on the processing screen as it completes.
5

Review your recovery plan

Once the status changes to Ready, your medications, appointments, daily plan, and warning signs are all available from the navigation menu.
AfterCare stores your document securely. Your paperwork is never shared with third parties and is only used to build your personal recovery plan.

​
Document status labels

After upload, each document shows one of four statuses:

​
Uploading multiple files at once

You can select or drop as many files as you like in a single batch. AfterCare processes them sequentially, creating a separate recovery guide for each file. If one file in the batch fails, the rest still continue — you’ll see a list of which files couldn’t be added so you can retry just those.

​
How deduplication works

AfterCare detects when you add a document you’ve already uploaded. If the same file is submitted again, AfterCare returns the existing document rather than reprocessing it from scratch. This prevents duplicate recovery plans and keeps your document list clean.
If you photographed a multi-page document, upload all the pages in one batch. Each page becomes its own document in AfterCare, so uploading them together makes it easy to find them later.
