palmER AI Suite is the private and secure AI-powered clinical documentation platform built for emergency medicine and urgent care clinicians. Spend less time fighting the chart and more time finishing your shift. START AT THE BEDSIDE Start an Ambient Scribe session on your phone. palmER listens while you focus on the patient. Walk out of the room with your chart already drafted. No rigid templates. Less typing. Fewer details lost between the bedside and the chart. Documentation that stays in your voice. FINISH WITH THE MDM Then open the palmER web platform to handle the part that carries the weight: the Medical Decision Making. The palmER MDM engine takes your chart and helps generate comprehensive, structured MDM documentation that reflects the full scope of your clinical decision making, including differential diagnosis, risk stratification, data reviewed, treatment decisions, consultant discussions, disposition, follow-up, return precautions, and the clinical reasoning behind the encounter. BUILT FOR THE WAY EMERGENCY CLINICIANS ACTUALLY WORK Emergency medicine is fast, interrupted, and context-heavy. palmER is designed around that reality. It helps you keep track of your patients, stay organized, and generate thorough documentation without forcing a rigid workflow. palmER keeps the clinical context together so every documentation step has the background it needs. Less charting friction. More organized shifts. A smoother path from bedside care to the completed chart. So you're done on time and go home sooner. PRIVATE AND SECURE BY DESIGN - Audio is ephemeral. It is transcribed, then immediately discarded. There is no audio anyone can listen to later. - Your data is never used to train or fine-tune AI models. - Patient data auto-deletes within 24 hours. Every shift starts with a clean board. - HIPAA-compliant, secure data handling with encryption at rest and in transit. - Your data is used for only one purpose: to generate your documentation. BUILT FOR ED AND URGENT CARE CLINICIANS palmER is not a generic charting app. It is physician-founded and built from the ground up for the realities of emergency medicine and urgent care work. It is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and residents charting under time pressure. palmER helps transform complex, fragmented, high-pressure encounters into clear documentation that supports the care you provided. This app is a companion to the palmER AI Suite web platform and requires an active palmER AI Suite account. Sign in with your palmER account to start scribing at the bedside.
