A complete picture before the bariatric procedure
Before a bariatric procedure, a lot of information comes together – pre-existing conditions, medication and findings. medudoc records it digitally before the patient comes to the consultation and shows it to surgery and anaesthesia in one case. Physicians make the classification.
Digital medical history
All information at a glance before the discussion begins
Patients facing a bariatric procedure often have comorbidities and take several medications. medudoc records this information in a structured way at home – for surgery and anaesthesia in one questionnaire.
One questionnaire for surgery and anaesthesia
Each item is collected only once. For pre-existing conditions or notable information, the digital medical history asks targeted follow-up questions.
Medication by photo
Patients photograph the package or their medication plan. For each medication, the HCP Dashboard shows the active ingredient, interactions and the preoperative recommendations of the medical societies, each with a professional source.
Findings by upload
The platform extracts data from findings and pre-fills the medical history; patients confirm. In the HCP Dashboard, every value is shown with a source reference.
Metrics calculated, classification by physicians
medudoc calculates metrics such as BMI and flags notable information. The platform collects, organises and visualises; physicians classify the risk.
Consent sheets
Patient education for procedure and anaesthesia
The medudoc medical editorial team creates consent sheets and reviews them at least once a year. The sheet for the procedure can be combined with the matching anaesthesia technique into one document.
Anaesthesia for the procedure
General anaesthesia, also with additional regional anaesthesia.
Trunk blocks
Regional anaesthesia for procedures on the abdomen and trunk.
