Stay focused on patient care during the day, and be present with your family at night. **WORKS WITH CORTEXA NOTE DEVICE** Pair the app with the Cortexa Note clip-on recorder (25g, 8+ hrs battery, dual MEMS mic array) for professional-grade audio capture designed for the white coat. Or start with the mobile app alone - the choice is yours. **SECURE AND TRUSTED** Built on HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2-audited infrastructure with strong security controls at every layer.
