How Journafy works?
Journafy combines the power of narrative medicine with intuitive digital tools to improve patient care,
empower caregivers, and enhance the healthcare experience for all involved.
1. Implementation and Training
Partnered hospitals go through an implementation process guided by our experts. Any technical or legal concerns will be addressed. After completing all the steps, there will be a (online) presentation for professional caregivers.
We explain how they can inform patients and family members about Journafy, and provide you with the necessary materials.
2. Keeping the Diary for the Patient
The caregiver hands the envelope to the patient or their legal guardian. Inside, there is a personal diary code which can be used to create the digital diary. Patients, families, and caregivers can create secure, customized diaries to document experiences, emotions, and milestones in real time. The platform supports text, photos, audio, and video entries.
3. Customized Journaling Based on the Use Case
Each type of journal—whether for ICU, NICU, oncology, assisted living, or behavioral health—is tailored to meet the specific needs of the care setting, ensuring maximum relevance and impact.
4. Actionable Data for Healthcare Teams
By integrating narrative and clinical data, Journafy provides actionable insights that enhance decision-making, improve outcomes, and reduce costs across the care continuum.
