Docfolio — for doctors who are already busy

Every unrecorded caseis skill you cannotprove you have.

The record that accumulates while you operate — logbook, follow-ups, images and portfolio, assembled out of cases you were going to do anyway.

Currently in beta with a small group of doctors. Early members hold the founding price.

01 The paper logbook

Written from memory, about events memory has already edited

Filled in the week before it is due, for cases you did four months ago. You retain the procedure. You do not retain the findings, and you certainly do not retain whether the patient came back.

02 The spreadsheet

Begun with real intent. Dead by the second month

Columns for everything, colour coding, the lot — and it lives on a laptop while the cases happen in theatre. No images. No follow-ups.

03 The group chat

An unlabelled image is not evidence. It is clutter

Pre-op and post-op from three different patients in one scroll, none of them labelled, all of them gone the day the handset changes.

04 Follow-ups in the head

Or on a whiteboard, which is the same thing with a wipe cloth attached

Two people ring the same patient on Tuesday. Nobody rings the next one at all.

01 Log it

Your department’s procedure list, already filtered

Set the department once at signup. An orthopod never scrolls past a cholecystectomy. Tap the template chip, then hold the microphone and speak the findings.

02 Log it

Role, status and complications as fields, not notes

Primary or assisting, because the unit’s volume is not yours. Planned or completed, with the planned date held apart from the actual. Complications flagged and typed — which is what makes them answerable in ten seconds instead of never.

03 File it

Pre-op and post-op, kept apart at capture

Two tiles, with case photos and investigations separated inside each. A pre-op and a post-op film of the same limb are indistinguishable six months later — unless they were filed apart on the day.

04 Share it

Add your senior with a 6-character ID

They need an account already; the ID is what having one confers. From that moment the case is theirs as much as yours, with full edit access — and every change timestamped and attributed, which is what makes that safe.

05 Share it

Whoever sees the patient updates it. Everyone is told

Nobody rings the same patient twice. And nobody assumes somebody else rang the next one, which is the half that actually costs a patient.

06 It accumulates

Set the interval once. It schedules itself

It appears on the calendar and reminds you when due. Missed ones do not vanish — they collect in their own section until closed. Mark day-offs and nothing lands in a week you are away.

07 It accumulates

Your numbers, with nothing prepared

Month-wise volume, growth as a bar chart, case type distribution as a pie chart, an activity heatmap and your logging streak — exportable to PDF the moment anyone asks.

08 A year later

The same cases. Standing, and countable

That is one case. Repeat it for a year and you possess a logbook, a thesis dataset and a portfolio — none of which you ever sat down to build.

412 cases logged 268 as primary surgeon 31 procedure types

03 The mechanics

What the record is actually made of

The opening traced one case through the product. This is the same product taken apart.

Getting started

Configuration is a tax. Pay it once

A phone number and an OTP. No password to invent, and none to reset at two in the morning while you are trying to log a case before the detail goes.

Your profile
Name, specialization, hospital or clinic, city and a photograph. Entered once, at onboarding.
Your department
Set once. This is the field that governs which procedure templates you see for as long as you use the app.
Your professional level
PG resident through to consultant. Also set once.

Twenty-four departments, including the full MS and MCh spread

  • Orthopaedics
  • ENT
  • Ophthalmology
  • Obstetrics & Gynaecology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • MCh Surgical Gastroenterology

Case logging

A logbook that holds only the procedure name holds almost nothing

A case holds what a case sheet holds — chief complaint, history, examination, diagnosis, investigations, treatment, outcome — and the procedure name, entered from a template chip rather than typed out.

Then four fields no paper logbook has.

01
Surgeon role
Primary or assisting. The unit’s volume is not your volume, and a record that cannot tell them apart will not survive scrutiny.
02
Case status
Planned or completed, with the planned surgery date held apart from the actual one — so a case can sit on your list before it happens, not only after.
03
Complications
Flagged, typed and annotated as a field of their own. Never a sentence in a notes box.
04
Follow-up plan
The interval, fixed at the moment you still know what it should be.

There is a microphone on the text fields, so findings can be dictated between cases rather than typed at eleven at night. Across the whole history you can search, filter, and mark any case a favourite.

Collaborators

A record only one person can edit is not a unit’s record

Every account is issued a unique 6-character alphanumeric ID the moment it is created. That ID is the whole mechanism by which a case is shared.

01
You enter their ID
Six characters. That is the entire transaction.
02
They must already hold an account
The ID is what having one confers. There is no invite link, and no pending state to chase.
03
They receive full edit access
Not view-only. Whoever sees the patient must be able to update the record.

The number of collaborators permitted per case depends on your plan.

The edit log

Attribution is what makes shared access safe

Every edit records who made it and when. Not a summary. Not a "last modified" stamp. The actual history, visible to everyone on the case.

Shared editing without attribution would be a liability on a clinical record. With it, it is simply how a unit already works.

Follow-ups

What is not scheduled is not remembered

You set the interval while logging the case. From that point the follow-up schedules itself.

It appears on the calendar
And you are reminded when it falls due.
Missed ones do not disappear
They collect in their own section and stay there until closed — the opposite of what a whiteboard does when somebody wipes it.
The whole unit is notified
When anyone updates a follow-up, every collaborator on the case knows. Nobody rings the patient twice, and nobody assumes somebody else rang them.
Day-offs are respected
Mark them, and nothing is scheduled into a week you are not there.

04 What accumulates

The part you would otherwise spend a weekend assembling

Everything above is input. This is what the input becomes.

One-tap summaries

Numbers you did not have to prepare are the only ones worth having

Case type distribution

412 cases logged

  • Cholecystectomy 118 29%
  • Hernia repair 94 23%
  • Appendicectomy 76 18%
  • Anorectal 58 14%
  • Other 66 16%

At any moment, with no preparation, you can pull:

  • Procedure names with case counts against each
  • Month-wise case volume
  • Month-on-month growth as a bar chart
  • Case type distribution as a pie chart
  • An activity heatmap and your logging streak
  • Follow-ups completed against follow-ups missed

Thesis and special cases

A series is assembled on the day, or it is assembled badly

Mark a case a favourite, filter to that set alone, follow them longitudinally as their follow-ups accumulate, and export the group as a PDF.

For a PG, this is the thesis workflow in the correct order
Tag the cases on the day you do them, and when you sit down to write, the dataset is already built and already carries its follow-up data. Reconstructing a series from a logbook eighteen months later is how theses lose cases.
For a consultant, it is a personal series
Built and held without a second spreadsheet.

Portfolio and public profile

Volume is not a reputation. Evidence of volume is

Beyond the cases themselves, your portfolio holds education, experience, certificates, awards, publications, surgery statistics and highlighted cases.

From it you get a public profile link you can share, showing exactly what you have chosen to make public.

05 What it rests on

The two that decide whether any of the rest get used

Neither is a feature anyone puts on a list. Both are load-bearing.

Works offline

An app that needs a network is abandoned in the second week

Docfolio works fully offline. Log the case in a theatre with no signal, it saves to the device, and it syncs when you reconnect. An indicator shows what is still pending.

A bar of signal in the corridor, none in theatre, nothing at all in the basement where half the lists run. That is not an edge case. That is a normal working day.

Privacy and control

What we will and will not claim about your data

Four things, stated plainly:

  1. Your cases are yours. You own and control your data.
  2. Only doctors you explicitly add with their Docfolio ID can see a case.
  3. Nothing is public unless you choose to publish it.
  4. Every change is timestamped and attributed.

06 Where you stand

The same record is worth different things at different ranks

If you are a PG resident

  • The logbook fills as you work, so the week before a submission stops being an act of reconstruction.
  • Thesis and special cases are marked on the day they are done, and followed longitudinally as their follow-ups arrive.
  • Monthly counts, a procedure breakdown and a logging streak that show your actual output — including how much of it you did as primary rather than assisting.
  • And a PDF you can put in front of your guide without having spent the previous evening producing one.

If you are a young consultant

  • A verifiable account of your surgical volume, your procedure mix and your outcomes — accumulated as you work rather than assembled when you need it.
  • A public profile link you control, built from cases you logged rather than claims you made.
  • When someone asks what you do a great deal of, you answer with a number instead of an impression.

If you run a unit

  • The collaborator model means a case lives with everyone who worked on it, not only with whoever typed it in.
  • Follow-ups stay current across the unit, because whoever sees the patient updates the record and everyone else is told.
  • Every edit is attributed, so the record stays auditable without anyone having to police it.
  • And you acquire visibility into the unit’s work without chasing anyone for it — which is usually the only terms on which that visibility is available at all.

  • The monthly caps on Pro and Advanced are soft. Reach one and you are prompted to upgrade; you are never blocked from logging a case. Clinical work is not held hostage to a billing state.
  • The founding price is held for 6 months from the day you sign up. It is not a permanent rate, and we would rather say so now than have you discover it later.
  • The founding offer is for early members. There is no countdown on this page and no seat counter, because we would be inventing the number.

Payments are handled by Razorpay. Depending on app store commission rules, some purchases may route through a Razorpay web checkout rather than through the app.

Questions

What you will want settled before you commit

Who can see my cases?

You, and the doctors you explicitly add to a case using their Docfolio ID. That is the entire list.

Nothing is public unless you publish it yourself.

Can my HOD change what I wrote?

Collaborators can edit. That is deliberate — a shared unit record is useless if the only person permitted to update it is whoever happened to type it in first.

But every change is timestamped and attributed, so the history is always visible. Nothing is rewritten silently, by your senior or by anyone else.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, fully. Log the case offline and it saves to the handset; it syncs when you reconnect, and an indicator shows what is still pending.

A basement OT with no signal is a working condition, not an edge case.

What if I change my phone?

Your data lives in your account, not on the handset. Log in on the new phone with your number and it is all there.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your cases remain yours and remain accessible. You do not lose the record, and nothing you have already logged goes behind a payment screen.

You would return to the free tier’s limits for logging new cases. The work already done stays exactly where it is.

Is it on iPhone and Android?

Both.

How is this different from my logbook?

It fills as you work rather than from memory the week before a submission. It holds your images in the right place rather than in a chat thread. It carries the follow-ups. And it produces a summary PDF whenever you need one, with nothing prepared in advance.

What does the founding price actually get me?

₹49 a month for Pro or ₹149 a month for Advanced, against ₹99 and ₹249. That rate is held for 6 months from the day you sign up.

Founding price ₹49/mo, locked 6 months
