In the hospital, decisions about rehab and discharge happen fast, and nobody hands you the words to ask for what your family needs, then you go home with a stack of paperwork, six medications, appointments nobody booked, and no clear idea of which warning sign means call the doctor now.
Filomena Health, LLC builds two apps for patients and families. MyHospitalRights gives you the questions and the words while you are still in the hospital. MyDischargePlan turns the discharge paperwork into a daily plan for your first month home.
Open a prototype right now: MyHospitalRights or MyDischargePlan. Free, no account.
Built by a Tennessee occupational therapist with post-acute, Medicare, and payer experience.
MyHospitalRights sorts the hospital by situation, explains what the staff mean, and gives you wording you copy and say out loud.
Search or scroll to what is happening right now, from the rehab question to an unsafe discharge.
Tap to copy the exact wording for the case manager, the doctor, or the discharge planner, with your loved one's name in the blanks.
MyDischargePlan starts with the paperwork you carried out of the hospital and turns it into a daily plan you follow at home.
One photo of the discharge summary finds the medications, the follow-up appointments, and the warning signs to watch.
Six medications and two appointments, with a flag on the metoprolol duplicate. Nothing reminds you until you say it looks right.
Day 4 at home. Weight up 3 pounds crosses the line Dr. Patel set, so the app tells you what your papers say to do.
Both prototypes use example data, so nothing you enter is real and nobody needs an account.
She taught me compassion for other people and advocacy for anyone unable to speak for themselves. My brother and my twin sister both had severe learning disabilities, so I grew up watching her push back in rooms where nobody expected a family to push back.
I became an occupational therapist. For years I stood on the clinical side of hospital discharges, running Medicare rehab and home health agencies, writing the instructions, teaching families what to watch for at home.
Then my dad needed care, and I was the daughter, not the therapist. I managed his medications and appointments while raising young children and working full time. I missed things. I called the doctor's office unsure what to ask. Years of training did not close the gap between what the hospital handed me and what my family needed at home.
The handoff breaks at 9 p.m. on day three at home, when the weight is up four pounds and nobody told you what the number means. Filomena Health builds for that moment, from both sides of it.
Try either app first, no email needed. If you want updates as they improve, leave your address and tell me where you sit in the discharge process. I am running interviews now with patients, caregivers, clinicians, hospitals, and health plans.
Thank you. We will email you when the prototype opens for testing. If you offered to do an interview, expect a note from Angela within a few days.
