№ 03 · Built by a NZ GP, for NZ GPs
Stop holding the whole consult in your head.
An AI scribe that lowers cognitive load, not just typing time.
Catch up on notes at morning tea, and the 9:30 consult from twenty minutes ago is already blurring. Not because it was long ago — because you were trying to listen and type at the same time. Typing while listening is divided attention. This captures the whole consult. You don't have to hold it in your head.
§ 01 · The real problem isn't typing speed
You can type faster.
You can't remember better.
Every AI scribe on the market pitches the same thing: save time on notes. It's the wrong number. The benefit clinicians actually report in the research is sharper — they stop worrying they'll forget something.
“I'm not worried that I will forget some important detail. If I get pulled away, I don't have the burden of documentation hanging over my head.”
Typing while listening is divided attention. Reviewing a draft is single-task. That switch is the mechanism — and it's measurable. In a 2025 study using the NASA Task Load Index, mental demand dropped by roughly a third with an ambient scribe. Researchers noted directly that “decreased cognitive burden occurred more often than decreased documentation time”.
Time is incidental. Cognitive load is the benefit. That's what I built for.

§ 02 · Built for four-problem consults
Four problems in fifteen minutes.
One clean note.
Most AI scribes were trained on American specialty visits — one problem, one SOAP note, done. That's not NZ general practice. A 15-minute slot with an elderly patient on eight medications, a mental-health issue, a musculoskeletal complaint, and a blood-pressure follow-up is a normal morning.
When you run four complaints through a single-problem scribe, it conflates them. Issues blur. Exam findings attach to the wrong complaint. You end up editing more than if you'd written it yourself. That's a documented failure mode of the category leaders.
ClinicPro is built around an issues-list structure from recording through to the generated note. Each complaint stays separate — its own history, its own exam, its own assessment and plan. The generator knows the difference between four things happening in one consult and one thing with four symptoms.
How it handles a multi-problem consult
Start recording; speak naturally
Introduce each problem as you address it
Scribe keeps each issue in its own lane
Review an issues-list note, sign off, done
§ 03 · A memory aid, not a typing aid
Don't rely on remembering.
Documentation failures are strongly linked to diagnostic error in primary care. Most of the time it's not a missed diagnosis — it's a missed sentence. Something the patient mentioned at minute three that didn't make it into the note at minute twelve because you were also typing, examining, and thinking about the next patient.
An AI scribe is a safety net for that. Every consult is captured before the afternoon haze. You're no longer the only redundancy in the system. Still your clinical judgement, still your review, still your sign-off — but you're not carrying the morning's details in your head anymore.
No desktop mic? No problem.
Put your phone on the desk.
Most GP desktops don't have a half-decent microphone. ClinicPro records from your phone, synced to the same session on your desktop. No headset, no USB peripheral, no new hardware bill. Same room, same consult, better capture.
§ 04 · Referral photos, during the consult
Less task-switching.
One slot, one finished referral.
Task-switching splits your attention the same way typing-while-listening does. Take the photo mid-consult, it's already on your desktop, auto-resized, ready to attach. Note's already written. Referral takes two minutes at the end of the slot, not at 6pm in an empty building.
- —Take the photo from phone during the consult, arrives on desktop in ≤5 seconds
- —Not saved to the GP’s personal phone camera roll
- —Auto-resized to referral-friendly size — no re-upload
- —Ready to attach to PMS or e-referral
- —Desktop upload supported too
§ 05 · Why I built this
I was spending breaks trying to remember what each patient said, then staying late writing notes. Free scribes hallucinated too much. Paid scribes weren't built for the kind of multi-problem consults I do every day. So I built the one I needed.
It's still in development. I use it in my own Auckland practice. It won't replace clinical judgement and it won't sign your notes for you — that's still you. But it should let you leave on time, and stop carrying the morning around in your head.
