Download a voice recorder app and put it on the Home Screen of her phone. Or buy a small recorder. Or you can also see if she and her doctor will let you listen in by phone (assuming you are available). All will require her to remember and her doctor to be willing to cooperate.

The portal suggestions are also great and could supplement.

Yes this works, too. My mom added me so I could ask questions of the docs as well.

make sure to get doctor's consent. it's illegal in some areas.

For our mom to record conversations with doctors that she can't remember later.
