Why clinical notes software still costs clinicians their evenings

Constant documenting erodes the quality of care. The EHR backlog follows you home. Templates and traditional shortcuts don't solve the fatigue.

You attend to both the patient and the screen

Clinicians focus on screens and lose the human side of care. Care becomes fragmented as details get missed when your eyes aren’t on the patient.

Notes pile up after the shift

Patient visits require your full presence. The note-writing starts after the patient leaves and spills past the end of day.

Half your day goes to documentation

Clinicians spend more than half a day on notes. Time spent on notes is time that could have gone to care delivery.

Consistent notes without starting from scratch each time.

Heidi’s templates give you a head start on every visit. Organized notes help you get through a session with less admin: cited clinical answers at once, patient follow-ups automated. All without switching tools.

Read customer stories
“Instead of spending hours writing notes after clinic, I now usually only need to make minor edits before the documentation is complete. This has significantly reduced my documentation burden while allowing me to spend more time focusing on my patients, their families and the aspects of medicine that I truly enjoy.”

Dr Annie Liau Fui Vun

Consultant Paediatrician at Columbia Asia Hospital
“Without Heidi, I was like, 'I'm going to *have to* write a case note.' I knew that if the GP is using this, the encryption and data collection must be pretty sound. Otherwise, it wouldn't work.”

Alex Jolley

Behaviour Support Practitioner and Provisional Psychologist
“I think this does different things for different practices depending on how you're structured. I can imagine that for a lot of practices, this will allow you to better document things so you can capture more reimbursement. Honestly for us, it's mainly a quality of life thing.”

Dr. Chris Bojrab

President & Self-proclaimed "Nerd-in-Chief" / template architect / early EMR adopter at Indiana Health Group (IHG)
“Being able to turn that into updates and home practice for the families has been incredibly useful. It really has helped keep my head above water when I’ve got a tidal wave of sessions and admin coming towards me.”

Imogen Dean

Speech Language Pathologist at Imagine Speech-Language Pathology
“The medical side of it was what convinced me. There are plenty of note-taking apps out there, but Heidi could actually turn a conversation into SOAP notes automatically. When I showed it to my business partner, Christie, she said, 'No, this is the only one we can use, because of the medical side of it.”

Sebastian Swarbreck

CEO at PHYX
“Evidence lets me take those basic recommendations and back them with proper sources, so the GP understands where I'm coming from.”

Making that connection between the patient and the GP, like a puzzle fitting together.

Deborah Hawthorne

Consultant Pharmacist
“Without that popping into my field of view yesterday, that's the type of thing I would look up in my own time at night.”

Evidence draws on what's already been discussed in the session and surfaces relevant context: clinical patterns, research, decision-support prompts.

Dr. Jane McNae

Veterinary Surgeon & Certified Rehabilitation Therapist at Paws in Motion
“Keeping up with evidence is so important for our profession... [With Heidi Evidence] You have that information available on the spot, which for me was quite valuable, and it's been pretty accurate as well.”

Clinicians at Connect2Care

“Heidi felt built for clinicians. What stood out was the lower hallucination rate and the fact that Heidi felt built for clinicians. It just made sense. A key feature that won me over is the powerful, intuitive templating, especially for complex consults and SOAP follow-ups.”

Dr Tommy Gerschman

Pediatric Rheumatologist at North Vancouver Practice

How free AI clinical notes software eases your daily workload

Up and running in minutes, with no steep learning curve. Heidi works from the audio of your visit as it unfolds and generates clinical notes within your clinical day.

1. Secure patient consent

Consent comes first. Ask the patient, then start the session. Doing so keeps everyone informed and feeling safe.

patient consent for clinical notes

2. Supply relevant patient context

Add more clinical details that bring the visit into focus such as medication and recent illness. Add previous notes and observations as needed. The new note reflects what actually happened, and Heidi catches up so it’s easier to make decisions later.

this is how clinical notes software works

3. See your patient as usual

Engage with your patient visit as the visit unfolds. Heidi identifies different speakers and 110 languages with precision, even during noisy settings.

It uses audio cues (like who’s speaking and when) to separate speakers and document in the right language.

4. Polish notes within the day

Heidi drafts the note, then you fine‑tune it. Add minute observations easily with evidence-backed citations. You stay in full control of every note while Heidi completes your admin so you get your weekends back.
