Thieme EIDO INFORM, a ground-breaking product that is set to revolutionise the patient education and informed consent landscape in the country, is being introduced in the Indian market by Thieme Group, an eminent Germany-based medical and science publisher with over a decade-long notable presence in India, in collaboration with EIDO Healthcare, the UK-based market leader in digital consent solutions. The development will completely transform the doctor-patient and hospital-patient relationship, ushering in a more informed patient consent environment in the country.

Thieme EIDO INFORM is a comprehensive suite of informed consent solutions, including written consent sheets, animations illustrating the operation, and terms laying out potential risks as well as benefits involved in a surgery. Patients can write down their questions for the clinician directly in the cloud-based app for their in-person appointment. The clinician can also see how intensively patients have engaged with the content since the system tracks usage time. 

The Thieme EIDO INFORM Home Consent function allows patients to insert their digital signature in the document from the comfort of their homes, confirming that they have been thoroughly informed in advance of the impending surgery. Importantly, the informed consent documents are available both digitally and in print in English, Hindi, and Marathi, with availability in more local languages to follow.
