SurgTalk 1.0.8

SurgTalk® serves as a valuable resource for 3D animated surgical procedural videos, providing clear explanations of potential risks and complications to enhance patient education regarding surgical procedures.

• Time and Cost Efficiency: By sharing a link to the procedure video via email or text, healthcare providers can significantly reduce the time spent on detailed explanations and drawings during office visits. Streamlining pre-operative consultations may lead to increased capacity for patient appointments.
• Enhancing Patient Understanding: The use of 3D animation offers a more comfortable viewing experience for patients, who may find actual surgical footage unappealing. This approach allows for a schematic representation of complex procedures, aiding in their comprehension.
• Benefits for Patients: Patients gain immediate access to the surgical procedure video, which remains available for review over the next 30 days. This flexibility allows them to engage with the material at their own pace and share it with family members who could not attend the initial consultation.
• Language Accessibility: All videos are provided in both English and Spanish, ensuring a wider reach for diverse patient populations.
