The post-ICU recovery journey is a collective effort of patients, their families, and the critical care staff. The Post-ICU diary helps create a shared narrative that contains the context, memories, and milestones that occurred during one’s ICU stay.
This narrative helps patients piece together what happened to them and around them in the ICU which has many benefits for their mental and psychological health.

The general rule of thumb is: writing down something is always better than nothing. Try not to think too much about it.

And if someday you feel really stuck, you can find a number of writing suggestions within the Post-ICU diary to help you.
Yes. The legal representative of a patient has control over who can upload photos in Post-ICU: nobody, themselves, professional caregivers, and/or other contributors to the diary. It is encouraged to add photos to Post-ICU because photos can speak a thousand words and can be very beneficial in the recovery process. Having photos in the diary from multiple perspectives (nurses, family, friends) can help the patient reconstruct their ICU admission when they wake up.
Post-ICU can be used on any device that has an internet connection. This could be a smartphone, desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.
Post-ICU is completely free to use for patients and family members. The digital diary is provided as a service by the hospital.
When the patient is awake, they decide what they want to do with the diary that has been kept for them. Post-ICU offers an option for the patient to delete their diary and all its entries if they want to.
