Your clinical documentation copilot. Record patient visits, generate draft SOAP notes powered by a 144-specialty AI documentation engine, and push them to your EHR - so your time stays where it belongs: with your patients. Cortexa Note is an ambient clinical documentation solution built for real clinical workflows. Pair it with the Cortexa Note smart recording device or use the mobile app to capture natural conversations - then let AI handle the rest. Review transcripts, edit structured notes, and finalize documentation in minutes, not hours. Note: Cortexa Note is designed for clinicians and healthcare teams. It is not intended for patient use. Cortexa Note is a documentation tool. Generated output is draft documentation for clinician review. It is not intended to diagnose, monitor, treat, or prevent disease, and it is not a regulated medical device. **RECORD NATURALLY - ZERO DISRUPTION** Capture visit conversations as they happen, with no rigid dictation or workflow interruption. Cortexa Note is built around a simple principle: the best technology is the kind your patients never notice. Speak naturally, stay present, and let the recording run in the background. **DRAFT SOAP NOTES IN MINUTES** Cortexa Note transforms recorded visits into structured draft SOAP notes using an AI engine tuned across 144 medical specialties. Review the output, make quick edits, and finalize documentation - turning hours of paperwork into minutes of review. **SEAMLESS EHR/EMR INTEGRATION** One-click note export to supported EHR/EMR systems. Sync through the Cortexa Note Chrome extension or the web app - no more copying, pasting, or juggling between systems. Fits the workflow you already have. **EVERY DETAIL, ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE** From full transcripts to AI-generated summaries, revisit key moments from any encounter. Search past visits, review important details, and keep your records complete and connected. **RECLAIM YOUR TIME** Clinicians spend 2-3 hours daily on documentation. Cortexa Note helps you finish your notes before you leave the clinic - no more "Pajama Time" writing charts at home. 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. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-128 encryption. Before data is shared with third-party AI services for transcription or summarization, the app presents an in-app consent flow for your review and approval.

Verdict

The call
