ComfortCard · the After Note

Every clinician is getting an ambient scribe.
You should have one too.

Most of what a doctor says is gone by the time you reach the car. The After Note is your own record of an appointment — in plain English, built for what you actually need: what happened, the plan, what to do next, what to ask. It takes about a minute, it stays on your device, and it’s yours to keep.

Make an After Note

Free. No account needed to make one. Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to save it.

Make your After Note

Fill what you remember. Get a record you can use.

You don’t need every detail — utility beats completeness. Answer what you can, in your own words. The rest can stay blank.

Your appointment

Right after a visit is the best time — while it’s fresh. Type in plain language; this is your record, not a medical chart.

Who you saw and what it was about.
The finding or news, in your own words.
Medications, tests, referrals, changes.
One action per line — these become your checklist.
One per line — questions to bring next time.
Anything they said to call about. One per line.

Private by design. Your After Note is built right here in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, saved to a server, or seen by anyone — until you choose to keep it in your ComfortCard. This is your personal record of what you understood; it is not a medical record and not medical advice, and it doesn’t replace your clinician’s written instructions.

        Why it’s different

        Built for utility — the only thing that travels.

        Most after-visit summaries are written for the record, not for you. The After Note keeps the four things that actually help, and nothing that doesn’t.

        How it works

        Three steps, about a minute.

        1

        Right after the visit

        Open the After Note while it’s fresh. Type what you remember — the news, the plan, what you need to do. Skip anything you’re unsure of.

        2

        Get a clean record

        It assembles a plain-English note: what happened, the plan, a checklist of next steps, your open questions, and anything to watch for.

        3

        Keep it, print it, share it

        Save it as a PDF, copy it, or keep it in your ComfortCard so it’s with your documents and proxy when the next appointment comes.

        Honest answers

        What the After Note is — and isn’t.

        Does it record my doctor?

        No. It doesn’t listen to or record your appointment — that’s the clinician’s scribe, and recording a visit raises real consent and privacy questions. The After Note is yours: you write down what you understood, and it shapes it into a record you can actually use. You’re the one in the room; you’re the best record of what mattered to you.

        Is it private?

        Yes. Your note is built entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored on a server, or seen by anyone unless you choose to keep it in your ComfortCard. If you just print or copy it, it never leaves your device.

        Is this medical advice or a medical record?

        No. It is your personal record of what you understood — helpful for remembering, sharing with family, and preparing for the next visit. It does not replace your clinician’s written instructions, and it isn’t medical or legal advice. When in doubt, follow what your care team gave you and ask them.

        What does it cost?

        Nothing. Making an After Note is free and needs no account. ComfortCard is the free membership that keeps your notes, documents, and wishes together in one place — and connects you to care, with a physician behind it, when you need it.

        Is voice coming?

        The honest answer: today it’s a guided note you fill in about a minute, because that ships real value now without recording anyone. Easier capture is something we’re working on — carefully, and on your terms.

        Keep every appointment in one place.
