From dizziness history to approved note

Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you take the history, perform positional testing and call out the nystagmus you see, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Manoeuvre and consent,
on record

  • Positive test on record

    Which side, the nystagmus you saw, its latency and duration, and the symptoms it reproduced, captured as you call them out, not reconstructed later.

  • Consent for the manoeuvre

    What you explained about the repositioning manoeuvre and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent and before you proceed.

  • Outcome measure and red flags

    The baseline Dizziness Handicap Inventory you took and the central red flags you cleared, the very elements audits show go missing most.

As precise as your assessment

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, positional testing, the manoeuvre performed, consent, outcome measures and red flags, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Audits referenced: Turner et al (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999), Sumner et al (Physiotherapy, 2000), O'Donovan et al (Physiotherapy Canada, 2017) and Paim et al (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2022).

    What did we find and do for Carys at the assessment?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 13 June, the right Dix-Hallpike was positive with upbeat torsional nystagmus, diagnosing right posterior canal BPPV with no central red flags. You performed an Epley manoeuvre with documented consent, recorded a baseline Dizziness Handicap Inventory of 42, and planned a re-test at review.

    The vestibular evidence,
    at the bedside

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance vestibular physiotherapists work to, from the CSP record-keeping and outcome-measure guidance to the Barany Society BPPV diagnostic criteria and central red-flag screening such as HINTS, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why vestibular physiotherapists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    The nystagmus is finally on record

    Rowan C, vestibular physiotherapist

    I always called out the nystagmus, which side, the latency, how long it lasted, but half of it never made the note. Now the Dix-Hallpike findings are all there with my reasoning. I edit and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Consent on every manoeuvre

    Saoirse D, advanced practice physiotherapist

    Recording consent before a repositioning manoeuvre was the box I forgot when clinic ran late. Now what I explained and what the patient agreed to is in every single note, which is exactly where my biggest exposure was.

    ★★★★★

    Hands stay on the patient

    Iwan P, neurological physiotherapist

    I'm not breaking off mid Dix-Hallpike to type any more. I test, I call out what I see, and the record writes itself in the background. The patient gets a clinician guiding them through it, not someone half-watching a screen.

    ★★★★★

    Outcome measures, never skipped

    Beatrix L, vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapist

    The Dizziness Handicap Inventory was always the first thing to slip when I was busy. Note Dr captures the baseline and the repeat every time, so my notes finally show the change I achieved, not just that I treated them.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest audit we've had

    Gethin M, clinical lead physiotherapist

    Positional tests, manoeuvres, consent and outcome measures on every episode, contemporaneous across the whole team. Our last CSP-standards audit was the smoothest we've run, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a dizziness caseload, BPPV, vestibular neuritis and the unsteady older patient, every record now reads to the same standard, with the positive test, the manoeuvre, the consent and the outcome measure that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Vestibular physiotherapist FAQs

    What is the best AI scribe for vestibular physiotherapy?

    The best AI scribe for vestibular physiotherapy is one that understands the vestibular assessment, not a general template. Note Dr drafts your dizziness history, oculomotor and positional testing, the nystagmus you call out, the repositioning manoeuvre and its consent, and outcome measures such as the Dizziness Handicap Inventory. You review and approve every note before saving.

    Can Note Dr capture my Dix-Hallpike and head impulse test findings?

    Yes. As you perform the Dix-Hallpike and head impulse test and call out which side, the nystagmus direction, its latency and duration, Note Dr records your positional and oculomotor findings in a structured note. Your testing is captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory later. You review and approve before saving.

    How does it document a repositioning manoeuvre and consent?

    As you explain a manoeuvre such as the Epley and the patient agrees, Note Dr captures the consent discussion and the manoeuvre performed: which side, what you explained and that the patient consented. It is recorded the moment you gain consent and before you proceed, so your records reflect the conversation.

    Does it record outcome measures like the Dizziness Handicap Inventory?

    Yes. As you score a validated measure such as the Dizziness Handicap Inventory or a vertigo severity rating, Note Dr records it in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. With your hands guiding the manoeuvre, the score you read off a questionnaire is easy to leave on the form and never carry into the note you write up later. You review and approve every entry before saving.

    Does it handle vestibular presentations beyond BPPV, like vestibular neuritis or PPPD?

    Yes. Note Dr is not limited to BPPV. It drafts records for vestibular neuritis, vestibular migraine, persistent postural-perceptual dizziness and the unsteady older patient, capturing oculomotor and head impulse findings, gaze-stability and balance work and outcome measures. Build a custom template for those you see often, so every note follows it, ready to review and approve.

    Can an AI scribe document a vestibular rehabilitation programme?

    Yes. As you prescribe and progress a vestibular rehabilitation programme, Note Dr drafts the gaze-stabilisation and habituation exercises, balance and gait work and the patient's response, with outcome measures like the Dizziness Handicap Inventory or Functional Gait Assessment. Dosage, progression and home advice are captured as you talk them through, ready to review and approve.

    Is an AI scribe safe for HCPC and CSP record-keeping standards?

    Note Dr is built to support HCPC and CSP record-keeping, not to replace your judgement. Transcription happens on your device, the note is drafted for you, and you review and approve every word before it is saved, so you remain the author and stay accountable for the record. It documents the consultation contemporaneously; it does not diagnose, prescribe or decide how you treat your patient.

    Records that steady your caseload

    Complete, watertight records for every patient on your list, new assessments, manoeuvre reviews and discharges, reviewed and approved by you. Positive tests, manoeuvres, consent and outcomes, finally handled.
