During Zorg & ict, Ditto and Ambyon were named winners of the National Healthcare Innovation Award 2026. Ditto, an app that helps patients better understand their medical conversations, received the jury prize. Co-founder Tobias Polak joins the latest Pepper Podcast to talk about the innovative app that puts understandable language at the center of patient care.

Ditto solves a problem that many people experience: what did the doctor actually say and what should I do now?

"When we walked out of the consultation room, we had both heard a different story. The day after, his wife told something else again. That caused so much stress and uncertainty. Only then did we see how big and invisible this problem actually is." What convinced the expert jury to choose Ditto as the winner?
