Follow your doctor's instructions after a visit.

BodyBuddy turns written instructions, or a recording made with everyone's permission, into a plan you review, then uses those approved actions in daily coaching over text between appointments.

Take a photo or upload a file of your instructions, treatment plan, or discharge notes.

What you upload is encrypted in transit and at rest and processed by service providers to create your private preview. The unlisted preview expires after 72 hours unless you choose to move it into your account. No account is needed to preview it. By uploading, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Take a photo of the paperwork, or record the visit with everyone's okay. BodyBuddy listens and tells you the big things.

BodyBuddy checks in on your action items between visits

It reminds you before coffee, asks for the reading, and keeps the numbers for your doctor.

want me to remind you before coffee tomorrow?

Keep your visits organized over time

Every visit is saved to your plan. Before the follow-up, ask for a chart of your readings and arrive with real numbers.

here's your last six weeks of morning readings in one chart 👇

After the appointment

The appointment ends. The plan still has to happen.

BodyBuddy turns your doctor's instructions into a plan you review, then follows up through proactive daily text coaching. It is built for the part after the visit: remembering what you agreed to do and carrying it into ordinary days.

1

Upload the written instructions

Add an after-visit summary, a patient-portal PDF or screenshot, a photo of the printout, or pasted notes. BodyBuddy does not connect directly to MyChart or another portal.

2

Record with permission

Ask everyone first, then use the recorder in the BodyBuddy app. BodyBuddy turns the conversation into a summary and action items for you to review.

3

Send an Apple Voice Memo

You can record in Voice Memos with permission and send the audio to BodyBuddy over text. It follows the same review-and-plan workflow.

Keep the official source

MyChart or your patient portal

Use the portal for official records, messages from your care team, test results, and medication information. If you bring a portal document into BodyBuddy, you upload it yourself.

Carry it into daily life

BodyBuddy

Review the plan and action items against the original instructions. Then BodyBuddy texts first, keeps the agreed actions present, and helps you prepare for the next visit.

Common questions

Following doctor instructions after a visit

What app helps me follow my doctor's instructions after a visit?

BodyBuddy turns the instructions you bring from a visit into a plan you review, then follows up through proactive daily text coaching. You can upload an after-visit summary, photo, PDF, or screenshot, paste notes, record with permission, or send an Apple Voice Memo over text.

Does BodyBuddy replace MyChart or my patient portal?

No. Use MyChart or your provider's portal for official records, messages from the care team, test results, and medication information. BodyBuddy is for daily follow-through on instructions you have reviewed; it does not connect directly to the portal.

Do I have to record my doctor appointment?

No. You can upload or photograph the written instructions, add a portal PDF or screenshot, or paste your notes. Recording is optional, and you should only record after everyone has given permission.

Can I send BodyBuddy a recording from Apple Voice Memos?

Yes. With permission from everyone being recorded, make the recording in Apple Voice Memos and send the audio to BodyBuddy over text. Review the resulting summary and actions against the original instructions before using them for coaching.

Does BodyBuddy give medical advice or change my treatment plan?

No. BodyBuddy helps you organize and follow the plan you received. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, change medication instructions, or replace your clinician. Direct medical questions to your care team.

Does BodyBuddy send medication alarms or book appointments?

No. BodyBuddy is not a medication-alarm, clinical-monitoring, or appointment-booking service. Daily text coaching can keep an action you approved present in the conversation, but you remain responsible for medication instructions, monitoring, and booking follow-up care.

What if the transcript or generated plan is wrong?

Compare the summary and action items with the original recording or written instructions before acting on them. Correct anything that is wrong, and ask your care team about clinical questions or changes. Your provider's original instructions control.

Record the appointment, with permission.

Ask everyone first, then use the recorder in the BodyBuddy app. You can also record in Apple Voice Memos and send the audio to BodyBuddy over text. Review the summary and action items before daily coaching begins. A written summary or screenshot works too.

Hi, I'm Francis 👋

If you're like me, the instructions from your doctor get filed away and forgotten by Friday. I built BodyBuddy to give everyone the daily accountability to follow through between appointments.
