What is Heidi Health?
Heidi Health is an advanced AI medical scribe designed to transcribe patient visits, generate clinical notes, complete documentation, and dictate letters.
It uses artificial intelligence to document medical notes, ensuring your clinician can focus on actively listening to your concerns and delivering personalised care, rather than spending time manually recording the notes themselves.
Any information that is captured is reviewed and approved before being saved in the medical record. There is no element of the AI programme influencing or advising the clinician’s thinking or decision-making process – Heidi Health is purely a note-taking tool, not a clinical assistance programme.
Benefits of Using Heidi Health
- Improved Consultations: Allows clinicians to focus solely on you, the patient, during your appointment.
- Accurate Documentation: Helps create precise, clear, and detailed medical notes for the patient record that can be reviewed and edited as needed.
- Time Efficiency: Streamlines administrative tasks, giving clinicians more time to spend with their patients.
