The patient's history, on screen before the consultation begins.
MedFile puts the record in front of the doctor the moment the patient sits down, digitises the handwritten prescription in a single photograph, and returns the record to the patient. It runs alongside the registration, billing, laboratory and pharmacy software a hospital already has — and replaces none of it.
A consultation that begins from memory.
In most Nepali hospitals a patient's record does not exist in any single place. Registration and billing hold one part of it, the laboratory another, the pharmacy a third — and the rest goes home with the patient as paper. A consultation therefore begins with the doctor rebuilding the history from memory and from whatever the patient can recall, least reliably for the patients who are oldest, sickest, or taking the most medicines.
The prescription then leaves on paper, and nothing structured stays behind. Once the patient walks out, the hospital has no way to know whether they improved, whether they took the medicine, or whether they ever returned.
The comparison, throughout, is with paper — the registration slip, the prescription sheet, and the bag of reports a family carries between departments. Not with any software the hospital runs today.
Seven steps. The consultation itself is not one of them.
The doctor keeps writing on paper, exactly as today. MedFile works before the consultation and after it.
Hold the patient's phone for one visit.
This is the patient app, working. Tap through one consultation — granting access, watching it run, and seeing what comes home — the way a patient in your OPD would.
A hospital workspace for staff. A phone app the patient owns.
Doctors open a verified snapshot — allergies, current medicines, conditions, recent results — the moment the patient grants access. It runs in a browser, on the phones and computers the hospital already has.
After the visit, the patient carries a medication list with times and reminders — in Nepali or English — not a photograph of a prescription. It works offline and syncs when the connection returns. It is free, for every patient, always.
Built for the hospital as it is, not as software wishes it were.
The patient holds the key. The system keeps the log.
We are looking to run pilots with hospitals in the Kathmandu area.
If you direct a hospital, run a department, or oversee health administration, we would welcome a conversation. A pilot costs the hospital nothing to evaluate, changes nothing about how doctors consult, and is free for every patient from the first day.
