The hospital's words, in your own.

In private testing, and opening more widely once its clinical editorial and safety checks are complete.

The foot of a condition page is being built to show its source, fetch date, freshness and reviewer. No condition pages are published yet, so this screen uses example data.

A route, and what has changed

Avanti Medico is being built around five stations, so you can leave and come back to the place you reached.

Avanti Medico is being built so you can print the card, or keep it on your phone, for the appointment.

What Avanti Medico is being built to do

Avanti Medico is being built to start with the letter you were given, and to stay with you through the weeks after.

  1. Your letter, in plain English

    When Avanti Medico opens, you will be able to paste a clinic letter and have it returned as the letter itself, with plain English written between its lines and questions for your next appointment gathered in the margin. Photographing a letter will work on Android and on the web, and not yet on iOS. The words will be read on your device, and only the text sent.

    See an example letter

    Plain English between the lines, questions in the margin. The letter reader is in private testing and is not available to the public.

  2. Explanations, with their sources

    Avanti Medico is being built to give plain-English explanations of conditions, medicines and procedures, drawn from the NHS website. Each page is being built to show its source, when it was fetched and how fresh it is, so a reader can open the original and check. The condition library is empty today, so no explanation is published yet.

    Where the information comes from

    Each page is being built to show its source, fetch date and freshness. Avanti Medico is independent and is not endorsed by the NHS.

  3. A route through the weeks after

    Diagnosis Space is being built as a simple route with five stations. At each one it will say what has changed since you last read, so you can pick up where you left off.

    Living with a diagnosis

    Charity helplines are planned for the stage where they help most.

  4. Three questions on one card

    Before an appointment, you will be able to gather your questions on one rehearsal card, print it or keep it on your phone, and walk in knowing what you want to ask.

    You will choose the three. The card will be yours to read from.

  5. For the person who was not in the room

    Avanti Medico is being built so that a daughter, a partner or a carer can share your route, but only with your permission. They would help you prepare without reading over your shoulder.

    For families and carers

    A carer will not be able to see your reading activity.

Made to be read at any hour: legible type for everyone, and a calm night theme. The toggle is at the top of the page.

What it will never do

Avanti Medico explains the words. It leaves the rest to the people who know you.

  • It does not diagnose.

    Avanti Medico explains. It is not a symptom checker and it is not medical advice.

  • It does not tell you how urgent something is.

    In an emergency, call 999. For urgent help that is not an emergency, call NHS 111.

  • It does not predict how things will go for you.

    What it explains is general. It does not know your history, your results or your other medicines.

  • It does not give doses or personal advice.

    Questions about your own medicines belong with your pharmacist or the person who prescribed them.

  • It does not watch over your health.

    No symptom tracking, no monitoring, no alerts about how you are doing.

Emergency help is on every screen, and it is never behind a paywall.

How Avanti Medico keeps you safe

Be first to know when it opens.

In private testing, and opening more widely once its clinical editorial and safety checks are complete.

Leave your email address and we will send one email when your access is ready. We ask for nothing else, because we do not need anything else.
