Overview

Heidi drafts clinical documentation from a consultation as it takes place, so the clinician is talking to the patient rather than typing at them. Administrative load is the most consistently cited driver of clinician burnout, and note-writing is the largest single piece of it.

Its Dictate feature types wherever the cursor happens to be, which matters more than it sounds: a tool that only works inside its own editor forces copying between systems, and clinical software is not a single application.

There is a free tier, so an individual clinician can try it without going through procurement. Notes still have to be read and signed by the clinician, accuracy varies with accent, background noise and specialty vocabulary, and deploying it across a service involves privacy review well beyond one person’s decision.

Key features

  • Documentation drafted during the consultation
  • Dictation that types into any application
  • Templates for clinical note formats
  • Support through to evidence and referrals
  • Free tier for individual clinicians
