MY CARE
The new way to manage your health
Available from the App Store and Google Play
View your hospital records with MY CARE
If you're a regular visitor to our hospitals, you might have noticed that we've replaced the paper notes we used to keep for patients with a new digital patient record system. It means that whichever care team you're meeting with, they all have quick and convenient access to you medical information.
Now we're making the same system available to patients with MY CARE.
MY CARE sits on your mobile phone or tablet through an app or can be accessed via your computer. It brings your Royal Devon medical information and interactions with your clinical team into one place.*1
MY CARE is accessible day or night and gives you handy access to your medical information if you're away from home or abroad.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We currently send out about two million letters to patients every year. By switching to the MY CARE app as our main channel of communication with patients, we hope to reduce our paper consumption on a very significant scale.
If you'd prefer not to use the app and would like to continue interacting with our hospitals the way you do now, all those existing services will remain in place.
