Why we do not ambiently scribe.
A deliberate choice to protect patient privacy, preserve clinical relationships, and focus on the between-visit health memory.
Ambient Scribing
Designed to transcribe the live consultation room dialogue directly into EHR notes.
- ✕Records doctor-patient conversation in real time inside the clinical room.
- ✕May make patients speak with hesitation due to active microphone capture.
- ✕Captures only the 10-minute snapshot of the consultation itself.
- ✕AI automatically paraphrases and parses clinical narratives without client review.
Longitudinal Memory (Cura)
Designed to capture the 90 days between clinical visits in seconds.
- ✓Strictly for notes at home. We never record or listen to live consultation visits.
- ✓Protects the sacred space of the clinical room, keeping microphones out of consultations.
- ✓Logs daily fluctuations, vitals, and medication events asynchronously in real time.
- ✓100% grounded verbatim in the patient’s own reviewed transcripts and notes.
The Consultation Room is a Sacred Space
A medical consultation is built on vulnerable human exchange. When a microphone is placed in the room to record every word ambiently, the nature of the conversation changes. Patients hesitate to share intimate details, and clinicians feel pressured to perform for the AI transcription engine rather than listening to the human in front of them.
We believe clinical software should fade into the background. That is why Cura strictly refuses to scribe or capture ambient audio inside the consultation room. We draw a firm boundary: our tool is inactive during your visit, allowing you and your physician to talk in absolute privacy.
Solving the 90-Day Memory Gap
Furthermore, ambient scribes only solve a documentation problem for the 10 minutes you spend in the room. They do not capture the other 90 days. They cannot remember that you skipped a diuretic dose last Tuesday because you were traveling, or that your ankles grew swollen only on damp evenings.
Cura solves the actual information gap. By allowing you or your carer to log daily observations in seconds at home, we build a longitudinal health memory. When check-up day arrives, your doctor receives a verified, verbatim-grounded 30-second brief. The result is a richer consultation, powered by accurate history, with zero ambient surveillance.
Our Clinical Principles
No Active Microphone
Cura never records live conversations inside the clinic. Consultation rooms remain safe, unmonitored spaces for patient care.
Patient Review Gate
When logging daily notes at home by voice, patients review and confirm transcripts before anything is saved. No AI guesses.
Verbatim Grounding
Cura’s summaries are strictly bounded. Every extracted clinical symptom is verbatim-grounded against original patient and carer statements.
Four things Cura will never do
Cura is a private health notepad for between visits, not an ambient listening device or diagnosis bot. These safety rules are built into our foundation.
Private & encrypted · 100% your exact words · No recording in doctor rooms
