How to write consult notes from a doctor’s voice note

To write consult notes with Kyrra, the doctor sends a voice note after the patient, or records the consult with the patient’s consent. Kyrra turns it into a note with the diagnosis, procedures, medicines, allergies and plan, written only from what the doctor said. When anything is unclear, it asks. The note is saved to the patient’s record.

What goes wrong today?

Doctors write notes in a hurry, between patients, if at all. The next doctor reads a few words on a paper file, or nothing. When that file goes missing, the history goes with it. We wrote about this in what a lost patient file costs a hospital and why handovers between doctors go wrong.

How does it work with Kyrra?

For the doctor:

1. After the patient, the doctor speaks for a minute on WhatsApp. “Anita, 34. Pain in lower right molar for a week. Deep caries, 46. Root canal, first sitting today. Amoxicillin 500, three times a day for five days. No known allergies. Next visit Monday.”
2. Kyrra writes it up as a consult note and shows it back.
3. If something is unclear, like a tooth number or a dose it didn’t catch, Kyrra asks one short question.
4. The doctor confirms and the note is saved.

With Bluetooth earbuds, a doctor can say “Hey Kyrra” and dictate without touching the phone, between patients.

For the rest of the team:

1. Reception sees the plan and the next visit, and books it. See booking appointments on chat.
2. The next doctor who sees Anita can ask, “what was done for Anita last time?”

Who	Sends	What Kyrra does
Doctor	Voice note after the consult	Writes the note, asks what’s unclear
Doctor	“Yes, save it”	Saves it to the patient’s record
Any doctor	“What was done last time?”	Answers from the record

What does the owner see?

Notes for every patient, written the same day, in one place. You can see which treatments are underway, which plans have sittings left, and what each patient owes. You don’t depend on whoever wrote the file, or on the file staying on the shelf.

How does Kyrra keep notes safe?

• The doctor decides: Kyrra gives no medical advice and suggests no diagnosis or treatment.
• It doesn’t guess a dose, a diagnosis, a tooth or an allergy. It asks.
• Clinical notes are never deleted. Corrections are added, not overwritten.
