A video made for exactly this person
medudoc generates each patient education video individually – assembled from many short sequences, interdisciplinary and in the patient's language. The video prepares the consent discussion; the personal discussion remains the core element.
Proven effect
Shorter discussions, better-prepared patients
Patients watch the video before the discussion. Physicians no longer have to explain standard information in every discussion and can focus on individual questions.
- physician discussion time before cholecystectomy (median 8.1 → 1.5 min)
- −81%
- physician discussion time before colon resection (median 11.9 → 3.3 min)
- −72%
- patients in the study; comprehension and satisfaction high in both groups
- 153
- of the participating physicians no longer want to do without video-assisted patient education
- over 92%

Two use cases
First the overview, then the personal video
medudoc uses patient education videos at two points in the workflow. Both are created individually for each person.
Procedure overview
While patients are still in the digital process, a comprehensive video shows everything important about the procedure, anaesthesia and preparation.
- Informs about the process, anaesthesia and preparation
- Answers common questions before the discussion
Personalised patient education video
Based on the information captured and the data specified for the procedure, medudoc generates a video that contains exactly the relevant content.
- Takes procedure, anaesthetic technique and pre-existing conditions into account
- Generated in a few seconds
Interdisciplinary
Surgery and anaesthesia in one video
medudoc automatically assembles each video from many short sequences. For a total knee replacement, a single video contains the surgical and the anaesthesia part – shared content appears only once.
Surgical patient education
- The procedure
- Risks of the operation
- Preparation at home
- Process on the day of surgery
- After the operation
Anaesthesia patient education
- The anaesthetic technique
- Risks of anaesthesia
- Preparation at home
- Process on the day of surgery
- Fasting

Understanding takes time – and images
In the discussion, there is little time to explain complex processes. Images, speech and animation make the procedure easy to grasp. Patients come with specific questions instead of uncertainty.
The video player
Understanding at your own pace
Patients watch the video when and as often as they like – at home, on their own device.
Every video in every language
All videos are available in 23 languages – with spoken text and on-screen labels in the selected language.
Chapters instead of an endless video
Named chapters lead from the introduction to the conclusion. Individual sections can be selected and replayed.
Subtitles and reading version
Subtitles can be switched on, and the content is also available as text. The videos are deliberately written in plain language.
Feedback during the video
Patients flag sections and note down questions. The physician sees this feedback in the consent discussion.
Content
In-house medical content – and your own sequences
The basis is content from medudoc's medical editorial team. Your hospital adds its own sequences.
In-house medical content
medudoc produces all content itself – around 300 patient education videos in over 22 specialties, reviewed for currency at least once a year.
- In-house medical editorial team
- Reviewed at least once a year
- All four core anaesthesia categories covered
Your own sequences in the video editor
Hospitals create their own sequences in the video editor and add content from their own facility to the videos, for example on local processes.
- Create sequences yourself
- Complements medudoc's content
