1. Start Your Chat with Derek
Click here and you'll be taken directly to start your chat with Derek. You can talk or type in your own words and your preferred language.
Derek will start asking questions about your medical history, symptoms, medications and concerns. You can take your time to answer the questions in as much detail and Derek will start using it's training to ask follow up questions, similar to what your doctor would ask.
2. Answer follow-up questions
As you respond, Derek adapts to what you’ve already shared. It will ask follow-up questions to make sure the details are clear and nothing important is left out.
Derek can also adapt to all health literacy levels, so you don’t need to worry about how you describe your information. It understands complex medical terms, misspellings and everyday language.
3. Get your health summary
When you’re finished, Derek instantly creates a clear and chronological medical timeline into a one-page summary that you can download instantly for free.
You can save it for yourself to carry it with you as a medical history summary, share it with a caregiver, or bring it to your doctor. It’s designed to be quick to read and easy to act on.

Derek supports 50+ languages. You can talk or type in whichever language you’re most comfortable with, and you’ll get your summary back in the same language.
