BUILT BY A SURGEON

The advice is yours. So is the judgement.

rycova is built by Dr James Doherty FRACS, a practising Australian surgeon, around a simple idea: a patient should be able to find their practice’s instructions for today.

DR JAMES DOHERTY FRACS

A guide that leaves room
for judgement.

Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon based in Sydney Australia, James originally graduated from Mechanical Engineering and worked as a quality engineer for a large consultancy firm. Despite leaving engineering for medicine the design of systems and process automation was always in the back of his mind - with the constant question of how can this be improved. rycova was born out of a desire to standardise recovery instructions without overwhelming patients with a mass of paper.

The principles behind the product.

Your clinical judgement

The practice writes the advice and decides how to review recorded progress.

A calmer experience

No streaks, badges or celebratory scores. A recovery guide should be easy to read and put down.

Clear responsibility

AI drafts and proposes. A person reviews, confirms and publishes.

Careful data handling

Practices kept apart, roles enforced, important actions recorded, and nothing clinical by email.
