## Know the context before the conversation.

Prepare for the next consultation without piecing the history together across the record. Read or listen to a concise briefing from recorded notes, medical history, prescriptions and messages, with source descriptions to guide your review.

## Pick up the patient’s story.

The summary brings relevant recorded information into a short set of bullet points. It can surface medical history, medications, allergies and details from previous consultations, with personal or message context where it matters to care.

Keep the original record close. A summary gives you a starting point for review; it does not replace the full history or the conversation with the patient.

## Prepare in the way that suits the moment.

Read the briefing in the patient record, or use Play summary to hear it aloud. Pause when you need to return to a detail. The same recorded context supports your preparation.

The summary is also available in supported inbox and appointment views. Audio playback is available in the patient record and inbox; the appointment view shows the written summary.

## See where each point comes from.

Source descriptions accompany the summary points, such as previous consult notes, medical history or messages. They help your team understand the basis of a briefing and know which part of the original record to review.

When the underlying information changes, DappleOS can generate an updated summary. If there is no activity to summarise, it says so instead of presenting a patient history that is not there.

## Hear a patient briefing

The HTML page includes an optional AI-generated Australian English audio example. Fictional example transcript:

Sophie’s last skin consultation recorded her cleanser, moisturiser and daily SPF routine, from previous consult notes. She recently asked about dryness since her last visit, from patient messages. She is preparing for a walking holiday and asked to discuss her skincare routine, from previous consult notes.

## A briefing to support your judgement

### Your team checks the record

AI summaries can contain mistakes or leave out relevant details. Check the original record before relying on information for care.

### Recorded information is the starting point

The summary is designed to summarise factual content already held in the record, rather than infer a new diagnosis or recommend treatment.

### Access remains controlled

The feature depends on your clinic’s enabled AI summary access and the staff member’s permissions.

## FAQs

### How can the summary help our aesthetic clinic prepare?

It brings relevant recorded information into a concise briefing before the next patient conversation. Your team can review key context without assembling a separate handover from notes, medical history, prescriptions and messages.

### What information does it use?

The summary draws on recorded clinical notes, prescriptions, medical history and messages. The information shown depends on what is available and relevant in that patient’s record. Each point includes a description of its source.

### Can I listen to the summary?

Yes. In the patient record and inbox, Play summary reads the text aloud and Pause summary stops playback. The appointment view provides the written summary without audio playback.

### Is the 30-second summary available now?

Yes. The 30-second patient summary is available now, subject to your clinic’s enabled features and staff permissions. Patient Agent is a separate, coming-soon conversational experience. Clinical and Front Desk modes and agent follow-up questions are not part of the live summary described here.

### Does it replace checking the patient record?

No. The summary supports preparation and may contain mistakes or omit relevant details. Practitioners remain responsible for reviewing the original record, discussing the patient’s circumstances and making care decisions. The 30-second name describes a concise briefing, not a guaranteed generation time.

### What can we see in a demo?
