What We Do and Don't Do

Clear about our role in your healthcare journey

What VisitBrief does:

  • Organize your concerns, timeline, and questions into a clear format
  • Store your data safely with bank-level encryption in Canada
  • Help you track symptoms and changes over time
  • Enable caregivers to coordinate care with your permission
  • Provide a one-page brief your clinician can review in 60 seconds

What VisitBrief doesn't do:

  • Diagnose conditions or tell you what's wrong
  • Recommend treatments or tell you what to do
  • Assess urgency or replace emergency services (call 911 for emergencies)
  • Use your health data to train AI models or share with third parties

We focus on organizing your information, not providing medical guidance. This keeps you safe and ensures your clinician is the source of medical decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about VisitBrief

VisitBrief is a tool that helps you prepare for medical appointments by creating a one-page summary (a 'brief') of your health concerns, symptoms, timeline, and questions. Think of it as organizing your thoughts before an important conversation—except this conversation is with your doctor. It's not medical advice or diagnosis; it's a communication aid that helps you and your doctor make the most of your appointment time.
