How it works for your patients
Personalized schedule in seconds
Patients can set up a basic timeline manually, or scan their instructions with Comfort Pack. They review the extracted details and check them against your instructions before starting.
Glass-by-glass reminders around the clock
Comfort Pack includes timed notifications and a lock-screen countdown to help patients follow their plan. Reminders require notification permission and do not replace your written instructions.
Support for common prep questions
Pip provides general prep information through Comfort Pack. It does not monitor patients or replace your clinical advice. Patients should contact their care team about symptoms or changes to their plan.
Helps patients organize their preparation
GentlePrep brings timelines, progress logs and optional reminders together. Its effect on prep quality, cancellations and staff workload has not yet been measured.
- Missed timing windows
Glass-by-glass countdown timers and lock-screen Live Activity keep patients on schedule when instructions are confusing.
- After-hours patient calls
Pip offers general information. Patients still need your contact instructions for clinical questions; GentlePrep has not demonstrated a reduction in calls.
- Uncertainty about readiness
Patients can log stool appearance. The tracker does not determine whether preparation is adequate or whether a patient is ready for the procedure.
- No documentation of prep
Patients arrive with a prep recap report: hydration log, doses taken, stool clarity timeline. Ready for your nursing intake.
