Who this is for
Physicians and clinicians who want to capture visit notes by voice between patients, without an expensive dictation subscription.
The moment this saves you
I see thirty patients a day and by the time I'm charting in the evening, the specifics of the morning's cases have blurred, so my notes get thinner and later than they should be.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Note on the patient I just saw, 54 year old male, here for follow up on his hypertension. He says he's been taking the lisinopril regularly, no side effects, but admits he hasn't been great with the low-sodium diet. Blood pressure today was 142 over 90, still a bit high. Heart and lungs clear on exam. Plan is to increase the lisinopril to 20 milligrams, reinforce the diet, and recheck in four weeks. I also want to order a basic metabolic panel to check his kidney function given the dose change.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to dictate observations from a patient visit. Turn it into a structured clinical note (SOAP-style): a bold "Visit note, [today's date]" heading, then Patient (brief demographic + reason for visit), Subjective (what the patient reports), Objective (exam findings and vitals exactly as I state them), Assessment (the clinical impression, only as I state it), and Plan (a bullet list of the actions, medications, orders, and follow-up I specify). Keep all clinical figures and medication doses exactly. Do NOT add diagnoses, findings, or orders I didn't state. Output only the note.
Make it your own. This is a starting point. Once it's in Contextli, tweak the instructions so the output comes out exactly how you like it.

Questions people ask
Questions doctors ask about Medical Visit Note
What is the best way for a doctor to write a visit note quickly after seeing a patient?
The fastest method is to speak a short voice note immediately after the encounter, while details are fresh, then let a structured template format it. The Medical Visit Note context does exactly this: you speak for 30 to 90 seconds and receive a visit note in a consistent structure, ready to copy into your EHR or notes system. The raw recording and transcription stay on your device and are never sent to a third-party cloud.
Can I dictate a visit note between patient appointments?
Yes. Add the Medical Visit Note context to Contextli, then dictate a visit note while walking between rooms or right after an encounter. You speak the relevant observations and the context structures them into the fields your note requires. No third-party dictation subscription is needed.
How do I turn a voice recording into a structured note?
Speak your observations in plain language covering the main clinical areas, and the Medical Visit Note context maps your words onto the right structure automatically. You do not need to say "Subjective:" or remember the format while speaking. The output is a complete, structured note you can copy directly.
Is voice-recorded clinical information private?
Contextli processes everything on your device. Your voice recording and the transcription are stored locally and never leave your device unless you copy them out yourself. Contextli does not transmit clinical content to any server. For formal compliance assessments, consult your organization's compliance officer, as requirements vary by workflow and institution.

Is my voice recording private? Does Contextli send it anywhere?
Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
Yes. Every context in Contextli is a starting point you can edit. Open the context in the app, change the instructions to adjust the structure, tone, or fields, and save. The next time you use it, the output reflects your changes. You are not locked into the default format.
