An audible medical information system for a patient or other lay user that is loaded with content by a company or the health care practitioner and can be played at will by the patient and a means for recording information in the audio file. In one embodiment, the system records information in a physical card that the user can have with them without the need for any electronic devices such as a computer or smart phone. Other embodiments may include electronic audio or video files delivered to a computer or smart phone. The audio file can contain up to several minutes of audible information, some of which may be patient specific and some of which may be disease or medication specific. The information may include pre- or post-surgical instructions, information about medications or basic use instructions for medical devices.

The file(s), which can play when a card is opened (note card format) or a button is pressed (credit card or digital format), will repeat the information as the user desires. The audio is in the form of a computer generated and/or pre-recorded human voice, which may be customized for the patient's language of choice and speech patterns, and will be clear and understandable. The voice characteristics may be optimized for persuasive characteristics so this tool can help motivate patient adherence to medical instructions. This system has particular utility for patients who do not speak the same language as the health care practitioner or who do not have the ability to understand the written instructions provided, although the system will be available in convenient form factors for all patients and for those who help with their medical care. Easy access to this information will contribute to improved patient satisfaction and compliance with medical instructions which is expected to improve health outcomes.

The present solution to the medical triage problem is computer automated telephone triage system that gives customized medical advice to patients of doctors who have registered with the service. There are two main modes of operation: a nurse-assisted mode, and a fully-automated mode. In the nurse-assisted system, a person desiring medical information calls the triage system and is connected to a nurse. The nurse asks a few questions and determines the caller's doctor, main symptom, and whether a high-risk medical condition exists. If there exists a serious condition then the nurse give appropriate instructions according to a triage protocol, Otherwise, the nurse connects the caller to the VoiceTriage program. This program plays back an audio message recorded by the caller's doctor giving the caller specific medical instructions to treat the caller's symptom. The fully-automated mode replaces the nurse-caller interaction with a computer-caller one. A main object of the present invention is to provide a patient with medical advice of his own doctor, in doctor's own voice to minimize confusion, increase quality of service and increase patient satisfaction with a triage systems and medical answering services.
