About

Hachiko

Features
Read full description

Hachiko brings your clinical record work with you β€” into the exam room, onto the treatment floor, and out to the parking lot conversation you didn't plan for. Built by veterinarians for veterinary teams and exposed to over 9000+ clinical records, Hachiko listens, reads, and organizes so you can stay with the patient instead of the keyboard. USE CMD / CTRL + K for global quick search and access to any part of the app! SUMMARIZE THE RECORD, NOT JUST THE VISIT Drop in referral packets, prior records, or lab reports as PDFs and get back a structured summary organized the way clinicians actually read β€” history, findings, diagnostics, plan. Choose the summary type that fits what you need, whether you're preparing for a consult, writing a referral letter, or catching up on a transfer case. DICTATE, DON'T TYPE Record the way the moment actually happens: Dictation - clinical notes and observations, spoken as you examine. Rounds - hospitalized patient updates, captured on the move. History Taking - the client conversation, transcribed without a notepad in your hand. Already recorded elsewhere? Upload an existing audio file and Hachiko will process it the same way. KEEP YOUR TEAM IN ONE PLACE Direct messages for one-to-one questions. Team channels for services and departments, so oncology, internal medicine, and surgery each have their own thread instead of a shared inbox. Your patient list and calendar sit alongside them, so context is never more than a tap away. SEE WHAT IT GIVES BACK The dashboard tracks documents analyzed and time returned to you, so the value of the tool is measurable rather than assumed. WORKS THE WAY VETERINARY MEDICINE WORKS Hachiko was trained on veterinary records, not adapted from human medicine. It understands species, breed, and the vocabulary of the specialty β€” the abbreviations, the staging systems, the drug protocols that general-purpose tools get wrong. Multi-language output is available in beta for practices serving multilingual clients. FOR EVERY KIND OF PRACTICE General practice, emergency, specialty referral, academic teaching hospitals, and mobile clinicians all use Hachiko. Whether you are a single-doctor practice or a multi-site group, it fits the workflow you already have rather than asking you to rebuild it. Hachiko is a documentation and summarization tool intended to support veterinary professionals. It does not provide diagnoses or treatment recommendations, and all clinical decisions remain with the attending veterinarian. Questions, feedback, or a feature you need? We build alongside practicing clinicians and we read every message.
