See how it works

Experience a dynamic digital ICU diary like never before.

From seamlessly adding multiple writers to a diary and effortlessly uploading photos, to extensive privacy options: the digital Post-ICU diary offers unparalleled functionality.

"Griffin adopted this innovative care tool, Post-ICU, as part of its longstanding commitment to delivering Planetree person-centered care, an approach to healthcare that produces superior patient care and a humanized health care experience that emphasizes compassion, equity, and the active participation of patients and their families."

“Post-ICU has helped staff as well. We’re able to look back at all of the previous journal entries, just to kind of see what other caregivers have written in the diary. And, honestly, it’s nice for staff too because they are able to see the progress that the patient has made through their ICU journey as well. And it’s a nice reflection for the family.”

"Post-ICU decreases the incidence of PTSD, as well as PICS and its accompanying disorder, PICS-Family."

Features

Journaling positively impacts mental and physical health, aiding emotional processing and reducing stress, while also benefiting healthcare workers by decreasing burnout and increasing compassion.

Secure and private log-in portal

Journafy uses a sophisticated and highly secure log-in portal.

Numerous safeguards are in place to ensure that a diary is only accessible to the right people.

Some hospitals are eligible for a Single-Sign-On (SSO) service. This can enhance the experience with the digital diary for healthcare professionals.

Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

Writing together is easier than ever

Invite multiple writers and readers to one diary. No matter where, no matter when. Journafy is available and up to date 24/7.

Inviting someone to your diary is as easy as clicking a button.

Having more than one person write in the diary ensures that the patient can later review what happened to them from multiple perspectives.

Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

Managing multiple diaries is no problem

As a healthcare professional, you will likely have multiple diaries to manage.

Journafy offers an intuitive interface and simple diary overview. Find the diary that you want to write for in a second.

And when it’s time to close a patient’s diary, it’s easy to remove a diary from your list as well.

Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

Writing prompts

Never wonder about what you can write about again. Journafy offers many writing suggestions to help you.

There are separate writing prompts available for family members, friends and healthcare professionals.

Our digital diary will even offer you different writing suggestions depending on the healthcare settings.

Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

It’s true: a picture speaks louder than words

Photos add another layer to a diary. It provides the patient and family members a more complete story that they can relate to.

As a patient, or their legal guardian, you can arrange permissions for uploading pictures. Would you like nurses to be able to upload pictures? Arrange it with a click.

Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

Everything that you want to be private, stays private

The patient is always the owner of their digital diary. If they (temporarily) are unable to manage their diary, their legal guardian takes over. They can arrange permissions for reading diary entries. Not comfortable with personnel reading your entries? Then switch it off with ease. We do recommend enabling healthcare workers to read entries, as we have seen this benefits communication and engagement tremendously. Please inquire with us to discuss the possibilities.

Do all patients and families benefit from the digital diary?

59% of all ICU survivors will suffer from psychological impairments after leaving an ICU. Additionally, up to 75% of family members of ICU patients will develop mental or cognitive issues, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Approximately a third of these family members will require psychiatric medication. Since it is hard to predict who will develop problems, research suggests to keep a diary at all times, for all ICU patients and families. If you would like to learn more, you can review the scientific evidence and recommendations on our sources page.

Nurses already have a large administrative burden, does this add to their workload?

Nurses & other staff can write as much or as little as they like in a diary. Journaling is part of providing care, not an administrative task. Furthermore, when HCP’s use the diary to provide short updates, families are better informed, leading to fewer phone calls, and a reduction in overall burden.
