Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guests Dr. Lisa Duggan & Mary Apple discuss the following:Many people would assume by the term Postpartum Depression that this is a disorder which begins after the baby is born.

How can we recognize postnatal depression? Are there certain behaviors that family and friends should be aware of?Are doctors screening for Postpartum Depression and other Maternal Mental disorders? When and how do they do it?Many of us have a pregnant family member or friend. How can the average person be of support once the baby arrives?
TIP: As the conversation about Postpartum Depression has become more open and more people are becoming aware, there are a growing number of resources available to mothers, fathers, and their families. A handful of states in the US have recognized May as Maternal Mental Health Awareness month.

Dr. Randall Porter, Neurosurgeon with Barrow Neurological Institute and Founder of The Medical Memory, a tablet-based service for video recording doctor-patient consultations joins eHealth Radio and the Neurology and Brain Health Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Randall Porter discuss the following:Dr. Porter, you are a neurosurgeon based in Phoenix, Arizona and we are discussing a product you developed ----The Medical Memory. Apparently patients often fail to understand, misinterpret or forget what was communicated during a doctor’s appointment. Are there specific reasons for this?So you developed The Medical Memory as a means to recall the conversation and diagnosis in a medical appointment. Please explain how The Medical Memory works and the benefit.Is The Medical Memory useful for patients and physicians in ALL medical appointments?Has there been a concern about doctor-patient confidentiality with The Medical Memory?You are currently utilizing The Medical Memory at Barrow Neurological Institute and a couple of other medical facilities. Are you having success introducing The Medical Memory across the country?
Duration: 10:27
A tablet-based service, The Medical Memory by ClarIT-MD™, utilizes a video camera positioned in the examining room to record discussions, imaging, and demonstrations ensuring that the shared information is commemorated for personal recall as well as sharable with family and loved ones.
For those patients who choose to utilize The Medical Memory service, a small video camera in the examination room records the session with the doctor including imagery and demonstrations. After the visit, the patient receives an e-mail with a link to a secure webpage containing the videos that can be viewed from any device with internet capability. The patient can then review the session and if desired, share with family members through the provided link.
In 2008, local neurosurgeon with Barrow Neurological Institute, Dr. Randall Porter, started conception on The Medical Memory. Although he knew his patients were intently listening to the information he was providing, he knew that many were not comprehending all the facts during an initial visit and that surprisingly two people in the examining room will not decipher the information in the same manner. This is particularly true in situations in which the information imparted is of a very serious nature and perhaps life threatening. Dr. Porter was intent on creating a state-of-the-art product that also upholds the doctor-patient confidentiality relationship.
“I view The Medical Memory as a trail blazer in the field of medicine and patient care,” says Dr. Randall Porter. “As a neurosurgeon, I understand how important it is for patients to fully comprehend their diagnosis and prognosis. Technology has made it possible for physicians to offer a secure, nonintrusive, and easy-to-use application to recall precisely what was communicated which in many cases benefits an entire family.”
