Why we built this
Consent should mean the patient actually understood.
We started inFormed Consent because a signature on a form proves almost nothing. Understanding is the thing that matters, and it can be measured.
inFormed Consent began in the exam room. A pain physician watched patients sign forms they did not understand, and built a better way: procedure-specific, multilingual video education that documents not just the signature, but the understanding behind it.
That work became a patented method for informed consent through video tracking, and a platform hospitals and health systems can stand behind.
