Trusted from home-visit practices to hospital foot clinics
The gait you observed, your reasoning and the orthotic you prescribed, Note Dr writes the full, watertight MSK record, ready to approve.

Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you take the history, assess the foot, watch the patient walk and reason aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.
Vascular and neurological status recorded
Pulses, capillary refill and protective sensation, captured as you assess them, the screen reviews repeatedly find recorded inconsistently.
Biomechanical reasoning on record
The gait you observed, the findings you measured and the diagnosis you reasoned to, captured as you think it through aloud, not reconstructed later.
Orthotic prescription and consent captured
The device you prescribed, the rationale you explained and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, vascular and neurological status, biomechanical reasoning, risk, consent and outcomes, where reviews against published standards show foot pathology and escalation are recorded inconsistently.
Standards and reviews referenced: the HCPC standards of proficiency and the Royal College of Podiatry Record Keeping standard, NHS Resolution's review of diabetic lower-limb claims (2022) and the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit.
Ask what you measured last time, the orthosis you prescribed, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance podiatrists work to, from the HCPC and Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standards to NICE NG19 on diabetic foot problems and the relevant outcome measures, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

Why MSK podiatrists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.
★★★★★
My gait reasoning is on record
I always talked through the gait and why I landed on the diagnosis, but most of it never made the note. Now the biomechanical findings and the reasoning are right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Orthotic prescriptions, fully captured
Every prescription variable, the casting, the post, the skive, the rationale, is in the note now. When a device gets queried months later, I can see exactly what I prescribed and why. That clarity was missing before.
★★★★★
Vascular and neuro, never skipped
Pulses and sensation were the things that slipped when clinic ran late, and they are exactly what gets scrutinised. Note Dr captures the vascular and neurological screen every time, so my records finally show I checked.
★★★★★
Outcomes I can actually show
Baseline and repeat Foot Function Index on every episode, without me chasing it. At review I can show the patient the change in black and white, and my notes prove the orthosis did its job.
★★★★★
Calmest audit we've run
Contemporaneous records across the team, with vascular status, risk and consent on every foot. Our last record-keeping audit against the College standard was the smoothest we have had, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full MSK caseload, biomechanical assessments, orthotic reviews and risk checks, every record now reads to the same standard, with the gait reasoning, the prescription detail and the outcome measures that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

The best AI scribe for MSK podiatry is one that captures the full biomechanical story: the gait you observed, the reasoning behind your diagnosis, the orthotic prescription with its rationale, and the outcome measures you will repeat at review. Note Dr drafts each of these as you assess and think aloud, and every record is reviewed and approved by you before it is saved.
Yes. Patients should be told an AI scribe is helping draft the note and their agreement recorded, in line with current UK guidance on ambient voice technology. In an MSK clinic this sits alongside the consent you already take for casting or orthoses. With Note Dr, nothing reaches the record until you review and approve the draft, and the consent conversation is captured in the note.
With Note Dr, transcription happens on your device: the consultation is turned into text locally rather than uploaded as audio for transcription. The AI then drafts your MSK record from that transcript, including the gait findings, orthotic prescription and outcome measures, and you review and approve every note before it is saved. Your clinical judgement, and control of the record, stay with you.
Yes. As you call out static foot posture, range, special tests and what you see on gait, Note Dr records your biomechanical assessment and the reasoning toward a diagnosis. Your findings are captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory later. You review and approve before saving.
Yes. As you describe the casting method, the prescription variables and why you chose them, Note Dr captures the full orthotic prescription and your rationale in the note. When a device is queried months later, your record shows exactly what you prescribed and why.
A defensible MSK podiatry record covers the history, static and dynamic biomechanical findings, the vascular and neurological screen, your clinical reasoning, the orthotic prescription with its rationale, consent and baseline outcome measures. Note Dr writes these into the note as you work through the appointment, matching what you did, and you review and approve it before saving.
It is designed to support complete, accurate and contemporaneous records that align with the HCPC standards and the Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standard. Every note is reviewed and approved by you, so what reaches the patient record is yours, not the software's.
