Scribe

Diagnify ambient AI Scribe listens to patient consultations in real time, drafting structured, comprehensive clinical notes while you focus on patient care.

What it does

The Scribe records conversation during in-person consultations, telehealth sessions, or dictation. It transcribes spoken dialogue securely, detects clinical facts, screens for red flags, and generates structured SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) consultation notes. You can pause, resume, select note templates, and regenerate drafts at any time.

When to use it

Use the Scribe during consultations where you want to minimize computer screen distraction, capture complex patient narratives, or dictate post-consultation summaries.

Step by step

Select Scribe from the consultation header or tool rail to open the ambient recorder.
Verify patient consent, select your microphone, and select Start scribe to begin recording.

Agent D never stores raw audio permanently after note generation, protecting patient privacy.

Safety (what needs your Confirm)

Mandatory Patient Consent: You must obtain and document patient consent before starting ambient recording.
Clinician Review Required: The drafted note is presented for your review. You must inspect all facts before inserting or finalising.
Audio transcription never replaces the doctor's legal responsibility for documentation accuracy.

Common questions

Is patient audio stored permanently on the server?

No. Audio streams are processed in secure transient memory to generate transcription and are discarded immediately once notes are compiled.

What should I do if a patient declines to be recorded?

Do not tick the consent box. Select Type note to record the consultation manually using the typed note canvas.

Can I edit the drafted note before accepting it?

Yes. You can edit text directly inside the Note tab, regenerate with a different template, or transfer the draft into the main consult note for editing.
