The people who most need help understanding their medicines are often the people with the least time, support, or confidence to ask about them. MedTalk exists to close that gap — to help anyone turn everyday talk about their medicines, conditions, and symptoms into clear questions worth raising with a pharmacist or doctor.
It's built first for older adults managing several medicines and the family caregivers who help them — and for the pharmacists and clinicians who receive a clearer, calmer summary before a visit. It is deliberately not a diagnostic or treatment tool.
What we hold to
- Preparation, not advice MedTalk helps you arrive with clear questions. It never tells you to start, stop, or change a medicine, and it never diagnoses — those are conversations for your pharmacist or doctor.
- Your words, made clearer Speak the way you normally would. MedTalk organizes what you say into plain-language points you can read back, confirm, and bring to your visit.
- Privacy by design Your recordings and personal notes stay on your device. MedTalk doesn't keep a copy of your health details on our servers — they're yours to keep or delete.
- Built with pharmacists Pharmacists help shape and review MedTalk's clinical wording from the start, so the questions it raises are the kind a care team can actually act on.
- Made to be understood Large, readable text, voice-first input, and screen-reader support — built so it works for the people who need it most, not just the comfortable with apps.
Where we hope to go
Our aspiration — not yet something we offer
Good guidance about medicines shouldn't depend on where you live or what you can pay. We hope to make MedTalk free for people in under-served places where a pharmacist or doctor isn't easy to reach — and to support it in many more languages.
In that future, a trained volunteer or community health worker could sit with someone, let them describe their medicines and symptoms in their own words, and come away with a clear, shareable summary that helps them get to care. MedTalk would be a way to reach a clinician — never a replacement for one.
This is a direction we're working toward and being careful about, not a service available today. We'd rather move slowly and keep the promise than over-claim.
