Heidi’s Tasks feature helps you stay on top of patient follow-ups by automatically pulling action items from your session notes into a central task list. Whether it’s ordering a test, arranging a referral, or scheduling a review, your tasks are organised in one place—reducing admin and helping ensure nothing gets missed.


What You’ll Learn

  • How Heidi identifies and manages tasks during your sessions

  • How to use your in-session and master task lists

  • How to edit, categorise, and filter your tasks

  • Common questions and troubleshooting


Getting Started with Tasks

During a session, Heidi automatically identifies action items from your notes and adds them to a dedicated task list within the same session. You’ll see these suggestions directly next to your generated note.

You can:

  • Mark tasks as Done

  • Delete irrelevant ones

  • Edit the title or category

  • Manually add tasks if needed


Managing Tasks In-Session

View suggested tasks alongside your note

You can show and hide the tasks panel by clicking the tasks button in the bottom right of your note. This will display a count of how many tasks have been completed.

Mark tasks as done

Simply click on the checkbox on the left hand side of the task to tick it off when completed.

Manually create a task

If there's something additional you want to remember to do, simply click "new task" and you can add a custom task, and assign a category to it.

Edit a task

If you want to change something about the task, you can click the title to change it, or click the category to select a new one.

View task evidence

Each auto-generated task links directly to the part of your transcript it came from. You can view the evidence by clicking on the soundwave icon of a task.
This allows you to instantly reference clinical details and understand why Heidi created the task for you.

Delete unwanted tasks

If you don't want a task, simply click the trash icon and the task will be removed from your session and your master task list.


Master Task List

Tasks that aren't marked Done or are deleted during a session are automatically saved to your Master Task List which is accessible from your side navigation.

From here, you can:

  • Click on a task to view the details of it

  • View tasks across all patients and sessions

  • Filter by:

    • Status (To Do, Done, Archived)

    • Category (Order, Coordinate, Communicate, Document, Action)

    • Date or keywords

  • View archived tasks that were inactive for 30+ days (with option to restore later)

This ensures your follow-up list stays manageable without losing track of important items.


Categories and filtering

Each task is automatically assigned a category based on the type of action:

  • Order: e.g. tests or imaging

  • Coordinate: e.g. referrals

  • Communicate: e.g. contacting a patient, scheduling

  • Document: e.g. notes or summaries

  • Action: e.g general tasks

You can change a task’s category anytime to suit your workflow.

Use filters to quickly locate specific tasks or follow-ups for a patient.
