Body and health
When after medical news: collect what you know and what to ask next feels hard to hold alone, Gennay helps you slow the moment down, keep context together and choose a place to begin that is small enough to begin.
The most important part first
Do not guess what is missing. The immediate task is to preserve what you were actually told, mark what you did not understand and prepare the next contact with your healthcare team.
Separate what was said from what you think it means.
Choose up to 5 questions that affect what happens next.
Check every date, dose and instruction against the original.
You may have listened carefully and still come home with gaps. Stress and strong emotion use attention. One word can stay while the rest of the explanation disappears.

Write briefly under four headings:
This separation protects against two common problems: a frightened interpretation becoming “what the doctor said”, or a practical instruction disappearing inside the worry.
Choose no more than five for the next contact. Begin with what affects your next action:
If a term is unclear, ask for it in different words. AHRQ's patient guidance recommends writing down questions, asking until the answer is understood and finding out what happens next.
You can ask whether written information is available, repeat the plan back in your own words or ask whether a trusted person may join the conversation. Local consent and privacy rules apply.
A useful check is: “If I have understood correctly, this is what happens next — is that right?” It gives both you and the clinician a chance to catch a misunderstanding.
Copy medication names, doses and times directly from the source your healthcare professional provides. Do not rely on an AI summary for exact medical instructions.
Waiting can turn into an endless search. Decide instead:
The note should help you find your way back. It should not become a personal monitoring system that keeps you on alert all day.
Medical letters and patient portals can contain abbreviations, provisional findings and instructions that depend on your individual care. Keep the original available while you make a simpler note.
If a result, date or instruction seems to conflict with what you remember, contact the healthcare service rather than trying to reconcile it through search or AI. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment without speaking to an appropriate healthcare professional.
You can use Gennay to organise your notes, draft questions or make a difficult text easier to scan. If you use text or an image from healthcare, remove details you do not need for the task and check every date, dose, amount and medical meaning against the original and your healthcare team.
Gennay cannot decide what a test result means for you, diagnose a condition or choose treatment. Do not include more private information than the task requires.
Follow the instructions you were given. Contact the healthcare service if you do not understand what to do, if an expected follow-up does not happen or if something changes in a way that concerns you.
For acute or rapidly worsening symptoms, do not wait until your notes are complete. Use the urgent medical or emergency service where you live. Gennay does not replace healthcare, diagnosis, treatment or emergency support.
Yes. Name the exact word or step that is unclear and ask for a different explanation. You can also repeat your understanding back and ask whether it is correct.
Ask the healthcare professional first and follow local rules and the service's policy. Alternatives include notes, a trusted person where consent allows, or written information from the care team.
Gennay is built for personal reflection, memory and everyday ways to begin. It does not replace healthcare, legal advice, financial advice or urgent help.
If a situation is urgent, unsafe, or involves possible harm to yourself or someone else, contact local emergency resources immediately.
When you want to keep thoughts, questions and ways to begin together over time, Gennay can help you pick up the thread without starting from zero every time.
No. Gennay is a personal AI support app for reflection, structure and everyday ways to begin. It does not replace therapy, healthcare or professional advice.
No. Gennay can help you sort facts, feelings, choices and words, but important decisions still need your judgment and sometimes qualified support.
