It eliminates hours of manual documentation by using ambient AI to capture the natural flow of a medical encounter and transform it into properly formatted notes — SOAP notes, progress notes, history & physicals, procedure notes, and more. The platform works directly in your web browser or through the native iOS app. No special hardware, no plugins, no complex integrations. Just open PatientNotes, start recording, and get your note. PatientNotes is ideal for: - Primary care physicians documenting patient visits - Specialists (cardiologists, dermatologists, neurologists, etc.) needing specialty-specific notes - Therapists and counselors writing session notes (SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP) - Surgeons documenting procedures - Urgent care and ER physicians managing high patient volumes - Nurses, PAs, and NPs handling clinical documentation - Small practices looking to reduce documentation overhead without hiring scribes - Large health systems standardizing documentation across teams ### How It Works 1. **Record** — Start a session and let PatientNotes listen to the patient encounter using your device's microphone. The ambient AI captures the entire conversation naturally — no need to speak differently or dictate. 2. **Generate** — After the visit, PatientNotes generates a structured clinical note in your chosen format (SOAP, H&P, progress note, or a custom template). Notes are typically ready in about 60 seconds. 3. **Review & Copy** — Review the generated note, make any edits, and copy it directly to your EHR with one click. Works with Epic, Cerner, Athena, eClinicalWorks, and any other EHR system. ### Why Choose PatientNotes - **Save 2+ Hours Daily** — Clinicians spend an average of 2 hours per day on documentation.

There's no need to dictate, speak in a special way, or pause to enter data. The AI captures the clinical details — chief complaints, history of present illness, review of systems, physical exam findings, assessments, and plans — directly from the conversation. The ambient listening works through your device's built-in microphone. It supports multiple accents and languages, and handles background noise common in clinical settings. ### Smart Note Generation After recording, PatientNotes transforms the captured encounter into a structured clinical note. You choose the note format: - **SOAP Notes** — Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan - **Progress Notes** — Follow-up visit documentation - **History & Physical (H&P)** — Comprehensive initial evaluations - **Procedure Notes** — Surgical and procedural documentation - **Consultation Notes** — Specialist consultation documentation - **Discharge Summaries** — Patient discharge documentation - **Custom Formats** — Any format you define via templates Notes are generated in approximately 60 seconds and include proper medical terminology, structured sections, and clinical detail extracted from the encounter. ### Custom Templates PatientNotes supports fully customizable note templates: - **Built-in Templates** — Pre-built templates for common note types across all specialties - **AI Template Generation** — Describe what you want in plain language (e.g., "Create a SOAP template for cardiology follow-ups that includes medication reconciliation") and PatientNotes generates it - **Manual Template Creation** — Build templates from scratch with your preferred sections and prompts - **Template Sharing** — Share templates with team members to standardize documentation across your practice ### ICD-10 & CPT Code Suggestions PatientNotes analyzes the encounter and suggests relevant ICD-10 diagnosis codes and CPT procedure codes. This helps with: - Accurate coding for billing - Reducing coding errors and claim denials - Faster charge capture - Supporting medical decision-making documentation ### EHR Integration PatientNotes works with any EHR system through one-click copy.
