Learn about its safety guarantee and eight core features. AfterCare is a web application that reads the discharge paperwork you receive when you leave hospital and turns it into a recovery plan you can actually follow. It extracts your medications, upcoming appointments, warning signs, and daily instructions directly from your document, then presents them in plain language on any device — readable or spoken aloud. ## The safety guarantee Every piece of information AfterCare shows you comes from your uploaded document. AfterCare does not generate clinical information from general knowledge, does not fill in gaps with assumptions, and does not invent dosages, dates, or warning signs. Each extracted item carries a confidence score and a reference to the exact line of the original document it came from. If AfterCare cannot find solid support for a piece of information, it either drops that item or flags it for you to check in the original text. AfterCare explains a document you already have. It does not diagnose, does not recommend treatment, and does not replace your care team. If you have questions about your treatment, contact your provider. This guarantee is built into the way AfterCare works, not just stated as a policy. After your document is read and structured, a separate verification pass re-reads the original text and checks every extracted item against it. Any item that cannot be confirmed against a real line in your document is either removed from your guide entirely or flagged for you to verify in the original — it will never appear as settled fact. ## Core features AfterCare gives you eight tools built from your paperwork. Add a discharge summary as a PDF or photo. AfterCare accepts multiple files in one batch and handles both digital PDFs and scanned images. See every medication from your document with its dose, timing, purpose, and the food or missed-dose instructions your paperwork included. Find every follow-up appointment the document mentions, with the provider name, location, and date in one place. See what today looks like — which medications are due this morning or evening, which recovery steps belong to today, and what you have already completed. Answer three quick questions about how you are feeling. Anything that scores amber or red is surfaced to your care circle. Read the warning signs from your own document and the exact action each one calls for — whether to call your provider, go to the emergency room, or call 911. Ask a question about your recovery and get an answer grounded in your document, with citations pointing to the lines it drew from. Look up any medical term from your paperwork and read a plain-language explanation tied to the line it appeared on. ## Accessibility AfterCare is built to work for the person doing the caregiving as well as the patient. Every screen can be read aloud at a speed you choose. The app also supports larger text, higher contrast, and dark mode. It runs on a phone browser without installing anything.
