Voice transcription
Dictate clinical notes instead of typing them. The transcript appears as editable text you review before it goes anywhere near a finalized prescription.
AI features
AI in prescription software — what it should and should not do
Plenty of products advertise "AI prescriptions". It is worth being precise about what is actually being automated, because the difference is the difference between a typing aid and a medical device.
What AI does here
Cleaning up your own notes
Turning shorthand you dictated into readable prose. It reorganizes your words; it does not add clinical content.
Translation
Rendering patient instructions in a language your patient reads, so "take after food, twice daily" is understood rather than nodded at.
Formatting assistance
Consistent capitalisation and layout of instruction text across a prescription.
Why the line is drawn there
Software that recommends a medicine or a dose is clinical decision support. In most jurisdictions that carries regulatory obligations — often medical device classification — with the evidence, validation and post-market surveillance that follow. Shipping it under the banner of a formatting feature would be both unsafe and, in many markets, unlawful.
There is also a practical argument. A dosage suggestion that is right 95% of the time is more dangerous than none at all, because it trains you to stop checking. A transcription error, by contrast, is visible in the text in front of you.
Questions
Does AI see my patients’ data?
Only the specific text you submit to a feature, and only when you invoke it. AI features are off by default and are enabled per account.
Can AI write the whole prescription from a voice note?
It can transcribe what you dictate into the notes fields. It will not populate the medicine table — medicines, doses and durations are entered or selected by you.
What if the transcription is wrong?
You will see it, because the output is placed in an editable field and nothing is finalized until you act. This is exactly why AI output is never written directly into a finalized record.
