Mend

Your discharge instructions, organized so you know what to do.

A calmer way to keep up with recovery when everything starts to feel like a lot.

Why Mend exists

I had surgery.
They sent me home with a folder.
And for two weeks, I didn’t know if I was healing right.

The surgery went well.
Everything after felt uncertain.

That gap between discharge and your first follow-up can feel quiet, confusing, and lonely. So I made something that keeps everything in one place — what to take, what to do, and how things are actually going.

So you’re not guessing anymore.

Nurse instructions recap

Upload a recording of your nurse's discharge instructions — AI extracts medications, wound care, warning signs, and appointments you may have missed.

Give this to your nurse (optional)

If they’re recording instructions, ask them to cover:

• Medications (name, dose, timing)
• Wound care instructions
• What’s normal vs not normal
• When to call the doctor
• Movement restrictions
• Follow-up timeline

Nurses cover a lot of ground during discharge — medications, wound care, warning signs, appointments. Most patients retain less than 30% of it. Upload a recording and Mend will extract everything that matters.
Medication Dose Schedule As needed means "as needed." Toggle the switch to activate a As needed medication before logging it. It will then count toward your compliance score. Status

Polar Care timer

Fill to line 1 with water, then ice from 1 to 2. Run 20–30 min, 3× daily. Disconnect power before the hose — water will spray otherwise. Return unit to hospital when done.

Reminders

Choose the reminder type that fits what you need

Enable device alerts right away, or add recovery events to your calendar after your plan is built.

Uses this device’s notifications so Mend can nudge you about medications and recovery steps. Adds scheduled follow-ups and visit dates from your plan to your calendar. Adds key recovery dates like dressing changes, showers, or therapy timing when your plan includes them. Creates day-to-day reminder blocks based on your current plan. Available after your plan is built.

Getting started

  1. Choose a recovery length or enter exact days.
  2. Add your surgery date and optional caregiver name.
  3. Upload PDFs or photos of discharge papers, or use manual entry if you do not have them handy.
  4. Tap Build My Plan to generate a starter plan, then review it on the dashboard.

Daily use

  • Use Back to Focus when you only want the next important step.
  • Use History for exports, added files, and your running log.
  • Use Caregiver when you want to share live status with someone helping you.
  • Use Reminders here to enable alerts or export care reminders to your calendar.

Common questions

If your plan is already loaded, Home should bring you back to your plan instead of sending you through setup again.
Re-open your plan, catch the next important step, and use notes or reminders if you want extra support staying on track.
If something feels urgent, clearly worse, or outside the instructions you were given, contact your care team or follow your discharge guidance.
