Neural Scribe by NeuralWave helps healthcare professionals turn patient conversations into clinical documentation — automatically. Use it as a standalone AI scribe, or connect AthenaHealth for a fully integrated, EMR-synced workflow. Record a visit and Neural Scribe transcribes it into structured, customizable clinical notes, suggests medical codes for diagnoses, procedures, and medications, and surfaces non-obvious clinical considerations for your review — so you spend less time typing and more time with patients. WORKS WITH OR WITHOUT AN EMR - No EMR required — record, transcribe, and generate structured notes and suggested codes for any patient. Just enter a patient identifier and go. - Full voice dictation for quick notes, letters, and reusable phrases — with or without an EMR. DEEP ATHENAHEALTH INTEGRATION - Look up patients and pull your appointment schedule right in the app. - Pre-charting — a pre-visit brief and priority visit checklist, built from the patient's Athena chart before the appointment. - Automatic note sync — completed documentation (problem list, allergies, diagnoses, medications, family history and Assessment & Plan) syncs back into AthenaHealth, so it lands where you work. MORE FEATURES - AI transcription into structured SOAP notes with a clear Assessment & Plan - Clinical insights that flag non-obvious issues and considerations for your review - Suggested medical coding for diagnoses, procedures, and medications - Record multiple patients back-to-back — park a visit and finalize it later - Customizable note templates for your practice - Reliable recording that keeps capturing through app switches, calls, and notifications, so you never lose a visit - Built for healthcare: patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and designed to support HIPAA-compliant workflows Streamline your clinical documentation with Neural Scribe.
