Pick the department and unit
Each unit has its own discharge format, and the draft follows it.
Photograph the patient's file. Discharge Desk drafts the summary in your unit's own format. You check it, and print.



Real screens from the app. The wait is shortened here; a draft usually takes about 3 minutes.
Numbers as of October 2026.
The problem
Notes, charts, lab slips and reports. To write the discharge summary, a doctor goes through every page and types every section by hand.

How it works

Each unit has its own discharge format, and the draft follows it.

Every page: notes, charts, lab slips. PDFs work too.

The draft opens in Google Docs. The doctor checks every line, edits, prints and signs.

On a phone, from start to finish: open the website, sign in with Google, start a case, add photos, tap Generate, then check and print.
Safety
Discharge Desk writes the first draft. A doctor makes it final.
Nothing is final until a doctor has checked it, edited it and signed it.
The draft is built from the pages you photograph, in your unit's own format.
Doctors sign in with their Google account, and the app lists only their own cases.
Built by a doctor, and improved with feedback from the doctors who use it.

MBBS · Curious, building and breaking things · Always learning
I'm a doctor, and I'm curious about how things work. I like picking up a problem, building something for it, breaking it, and learning along the way.
Discharge Desk started on the wards, where one discharge summary took 40–60 minutes to type. Now doctors in five departments use it every day.
Always happy to talk with anyone who's building something.
Each unit gets its own discharge format. Write to us and we'll set yours up.
