The latest on digital healthcare, medical innovation, and patient-first care
Ask anyone building in digital health who their competitor is, and the answer is usually an app. Ours is WhatsApp, paper and a relative who “knows a good doctor”.
A general explainer, not legal advice: what Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law and its 2025 executive regulations mean for a clinic, and five questions to ask yours.
Before a visit, a few simple questions can save time, money and stress. Five organizing questions, and a list to take with you.
A specialist visit has limited minutes. Preparation makes them count: six things on one page, and the lines to write before you leave.
This team is building a health product, and this field is not built in the dark. Why we share ideas before they are complete, and what we will not say.
Many of us carry a bag of scans, results and reports from different places, and tell the story again to every new doctor. What a record that moves with you means, and how to ask for yours.
At home, when a symptom appears, the first question is not “what do I have?” It is “where do I go, when, and for how much?” Seven stops, and what the journey costs.
Product decisions are known by what you say no to. Medigize has three: no diagnosis, no lowered urgency, and no silent guessing.
Every new facility asks for the same details: name, age, allergies, medications. Sometimes even the same facility, between two visits. Why, what it costs, and what helps.
“Is my case an emergency?” No responsible navigation tool can answer that the way a physician would. What it can do, what it cannot, and the rule we hold ourselves to.
Results arrive as numbers, arrows and English terms. Most of us worry at the red numbers or relax at the green ones. Neither is enough. Here is what to ask instead.
A recurring complaint, a family group, a painkiller, a pharmacy, the wrong clinic, paper results, and finally the right specialist. Every stop did its job. What broke was the connection between them.
