From screening to an approved record

Note Dr listens to the assessment as it happens. While you screen, stratify risk, run the test and talk through the prescription, it writes the record in the background, so your attention stays on the client and the monitor, not the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible by
default, every assessment

  • Screening and risk stratification on record

    The pre-exercise screen you completed, the contraindications you excluded and the risk category you assigned, captured as you reason it through, not reconstructed afterwards.

  • Consent for the exercise prescription

    What you explained about the programme, its intensity, the warning signs and the risks, and what the client agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent.

  • Test response and outcomes captured

    The exercise-test response you observed and the baseline outcome measures you took, the very elements that prove the prescription was safe and justified.

As precise as your exercise testing

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the screening, your risk stratification, the test response, the prescription and consent, where records measured against published sport and exercise medicine standards routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient

    Ask Note Dr, Caradog Hartwell
    How did we stratify Caradog, and what programme did he consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At screening on 16 June, you stratified Caradog as low risk per AACVPR criteria, with an ejection fraction of 52% and no inducible ischaemia on a submaximal test to 75 W. You prescribed moderate aerobic exercise at a target heart rate of 95 to 110 bpm, and consent was recorded after the risks and stop criteria were explained.

    The standard,
    in the lab

    When an assessment calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance exercise physiologists work to, from ACSM exercise testing and prescription and BACPR cardiac rehabilitation standards to the contraindications for exercise testing, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your client; that judgement stays with you.

    Show me the ACSM guidance on exercise testing and prescription
    What are the BACPR standards for cardiac rehabilitation?
    Remind me of the contraindications to exercise testing
    How should I set training intensity for a patient on beta-blockers?

    Why exercise physiologists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My risk stratification is finally on record

    Rhys C, clinical exercise physiologist

    I always stratified risk before clearing anyone to exercise, but the reasoning rarely made the note in full. Now the criteria I used and why I judged someone low risk is right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Consent on every prescription

    Imogen T, cardiac rehabilitation physiologist

    Recording consent for the programme, the intensity, the warning signs, the risks, was the thing I rushed when clinic ran late. Now what I explained and what the client agreed to is in every assessment, exactly where my exposure was.

    ★★★★★

    The test response, captured in full

    Declan W, exercise physiologist

    Heart rate, blood pressure, RPE, why I stopped the test, it all used to live in my head until I typed it up hours later. Note Dr captures the whole response as it happens, so my note proves the prescription was safe.

    ★★★★★

    Outcomes never skipped now

    Saoirse K, clinical exercise physiologist

    Six-minute walks and quality-of-life scores were the first things to slip when I was busy. Note Dr records the baseline and the repeat every time, so my notes finally show the change the programme actually made.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest service review we've had

    Gareth P, lead exercise physiologist

    Contemporaneous records across the whole team, with screening, risk stratification, consent and outcomes on every programme. Our last governance review was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the whole story.

    Across a full caseload, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, metabolic and musculoskeletal referrals, every record now reads to the same standard, with the screening, risk stratification and consent that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Exercise physiologist FAQs

    Can an AI scribe write SOAP notes for exercise physiology sessions?

    Yes. Note Dr listens to the assessment and drafts a structured SOAP or programme note, which you review, edit and approve before anything enters the record. It captures the history, the objective findings you call out during testing, your clinical reasoning and the plan, and it works across initial assessments, exercise prescription sessions and programme reviews.

    Can it capture an exercise test and the cardiovascular response?

    Yes. As you call out the protocol, the heart rate, blood pressure and RPE at each stage, any symptoms and why you stopped, Note Dr records the full test response and recovery. The interpretation that justifies your prescription is documented as it happens, not written up from memory later.

    Does Note Dr document pre-exercise screening and risk stratification?

    Yes. As you take the history, work through the contraindication screen and assign a risk category, Note Dr records the screening and your stratification in a structured note. The criteria you used and your clearance decision are captured contemporaneously, ready for you to review and approve before saving.

    Do I need my client's consent to use an AI scribe?

    Yes. Tell the client at the start of the appointment that an AI scribe will help document the session, and proceed only if they agree, as you would for any recording. Note Dr transcribes speech on your device rather than uploading audio, and the note it drafts is reviewed and approved by you before it becomes part of the record. If a client declines, you simply document by hand as usual.

    Can I use an AI scribe for cardiac and pulmonary rehab notes?

    Yes. Note Dr drafts cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation records, from the pre-exercise screen and risk stratification to the submaximal test response, the FITT prescription and review notes with outcome measures such as shuttle-walk distance. Stop criteria and consent are captured as you explain them, and you review and approve every note before it joins the record.

    Does Note Dr integrate with my practice management system?

    Note Dr works alongside any practice management system or clinical record rather than plugging into one. You run the assessment, approve the drafted note, then copy or export it into the system your clinic or rehabilitation service already uses. There is no integration to set up and no data sync to maintain, and nothing changes about where your records are held.

    Can it track outcome measures across a programme?

    Yes. As you take a baseline and repeat it, such as a six-minute walk, a shuttle walk or a quality-of-life score, Note Dr records each result in the structured note. The change against baseline is captured at every review, so your record shows the outcome the programme achieved.
