Where Hedy helps most
Cancer and oncology visits
Dense terminology, multiple specialists, and treatment that can make focus and memory harder.

You're the only person who hears every specialist and stitches the care plan together.

Even with an interpreter, nuance slips. Re-read the visit in your own language afterwards.
See how Hedy helpsCancer and oncology visits
Cancer treatment is well known to make focus and memory harder, and visits move fast. Your care team often includes specialists who don't all meet in the same room as you. Hedy captures the conversation and gives you a plain-language summary you can come back to.
- Re-read what your oncologist actually said, in your own time, without taking notes during the visit
- See terminology, side effects, and next steps laid out clearly so you can share them with family
Aging parents and memory loss
You sit in on the appointments. You ask the questions. You're the one who has to remember what the doctor said, because your parent likely won't. Hedy captures the full visit and turns it into a transcript you can search, share with siblings, or review before the next call to the practice.
- Capture the full conversation so you're not scribbling notes while trying to listen
- Share a clear summary with family members who couldn't be in the room
Children's specialist appointments
Between specialists, follow-ups, therapists, and school meetings, you're the only person hearing every conversation. Studies show parents recall less than half of what's discussed in a typical specialist visit. Hedy captures every visit and gives you a searchable summary you can forward to anyone helping you care for your child.
- Keep one place where every specialist's instructions live, instead of scattered notes and apps
- Re-read or translate the visit so a co-parent, grandparent, or teacher can stay in the loop
Appointments in a second language
A medical visit in a language that isn't your first is mentally exhausting, and the small words matter most. Even with a professional interpreter, things get missed. Hedy transcribes the appointment, translates it into your language, and explains medical terms in plain words.
- Read the visit back in 30+ languages, including the one you actually think in
- Ask Hedy to explain a term, a medication name, or a next step without calling the practice back

Session Summary

“Two days ago, I had an over-the-phone consultation with my son's orthodontist and wanted to take notes. So I put my phone on 'speaker mode', tapped into Hedy, and Hedy took all of my notes for me — better than I could have even had I recorded the call and taken notes afterwards. I now have 14 pages of notes in a Google Doc that I can reference whenever my son has questions. This is just a small fraction of what Hedy can do.”

Frequently asked questions
How does Hedy help patients during medical appointments?
Hedy transcribes your doctor's appointment in real time, summarizes the diagnosis and treatment plan, and lets you chat with the transcript afterward to clarify anything you missed. It's like having a friend in the room who took perfect notes — so you remember medication instructions, follow-up steps, and the questions you wanted to ask.
Is it legal to record my doctor's appointment with Hedy?
It depends on your jurisdiction. Many U.S. states allow single-party consent (you can record your own conversation), while others require all-party consent. We recommend telling your doctor you're using a transcription tool — most clinicians are supportive when patients want to capture their care plan accurately.
Will Hedy explain medical terms I don't understand?
Yes. After your appointment, you can chat with Hedy about anything in the transcript. Ask 'what does this term mean?' or 'explain this in plain language' and Hedy will translate medical jargon into clear explanations. It's especially helpful when navigating a new diagnosis or a complex treatment plan.
Is my health information private when I use Hedy?
Speech recognition runs on your device, so audio never leaves your phone. Transcripts are encrypted in transit, and Hedy never uses your conversations to train AI models. Hedy is GDPR compliant, and EU data residency is available at sign-up: your transcripts and AI processing stay in Europe instead of the US, which matters for oncology, mental health, and other sensitive specialties. For especially private appointments, on-device-only mode keeps your transcripts off the cloud entirely.
Can I share my appointment summary with family or other doctors?
Yes. After each appointment, Hedy generates a clean summary covering the diagnosis, treatment, medications, and next steps. You can email it directly from the app, share it via messages, or sync it across your devices — making it easy to keep family caregivers informed or bring full context to a follow-up specialist.
