RoundTrace, a Medical Team Chat Built Around the Patient
A Japanese closed chat service for home-visit medical teams, organized around patient-specific channels and urgent on-call communication.
Field notes
RoundTrace divides activity into general, patient-specific, and emergency channels, with unread and mention indicators intended to limit missed handoffs. The page says photos and documents remain visible only to members of the relevant channel, and presents Mac and Windows interfaces with the same layout. It also describes a notification-resistant emergency channel and claims that messages cannot be rewritten afterward. The displayed application screens are identified as development versions using entirely fictional patients and staff.
