From the treatment couch to an approved record

Note Dr listens as the assessment happens. While you watch the patient run, examine the foot and talk through the biomechanics you find, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

The biomechanical record,
fully defensible

  • Vascular and neurological check on record

    Pulses, perfusion and sensation, the screen that separates a sports injury from a missed foot complication, captured as you examine, not left blank when clinic runs late.

  • Gait reasoning and the choice made

    What you saw on the treadmill, the biomechanical driver you identified and why you prescribed the orthoses you did, recorded as you reason it through aloud.

  • Consent for casting and prescription

    What you explained about the orthoses, footwear and loading, and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent, exactly where a prescription dispute would land.

As rigorous as your biomechanics

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the vascular and neurological screen, your gait reasoning, the prescription, consent and outcomes, where reviews and audits show conventional podiatry records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

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 Note Dr, Rhys Carwardine
    What did we prescribe for Rhys, and what did he consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 9 June, you diagnosed right plantar fasciopathy driven by overpronation and a tight calf, with pulses and sensation intact. You prescribed a posted orthoses, footwear change and calf loading, recorded a baseline FAAM sport score of 62%, and consent was documented for casting and fitting.

    The standard,
    at the couch

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance sports podiatrists work to, from the HCPC standards of proficiency and the Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standard to NICE NG19 on diabetic foot problems and the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why sports podiatrists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My gait reasoning is on record

    Owen B, sports podiatrist

    I would talk through the whole biomechanical picture and almost none of it reached the note. Now what I saw on the treadmill and why I posted the orthoses the way I did is right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    The vascular check is never skipped

    Ffion M, podiatrist

    Pulses and sensation were the first things to slip when a sports clinic ran late, and they are exactly what the record is judged on. Note Dr captures the vascular and neurological screen on every assessment, so a foot complication can never hide behind a sports injury.

    ★★★★★

    Orthoses prescriptions, fully documented

    Callum T, musculoskeletal podiatrist

    The device spec, the footwear advice and what the patient agreed to used to live in my head. Now the prescription and the consent to cast and fit are on every record, which is exactly where a dispute over a device would land.

    ★★★★★

    Return-to-sport calls that hold up

    Imogen H, sports podiatrist

    Clearing a runner back to load is where my exposure sits. The criteria they met, the outcome measure and what I explained about re-injury are documented every time. If a return is ever questioned, the record already tells the story.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest audit we have run

    Dafydd P, clinical lead podiatrist

    Contemporaneous records across the team, with the vascular screen, risk and escalation on every diabetic foot. Our last record-keeping audit was the smoothest we have had, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a full caseload, biomechanical assessments, diabetic foot checks and return-to-sport reviews, every record now reads to the same standard, with the gait reasoning, prescription and consent that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Sports podiatrist FAQs

    Is there a free AI scribe for podiatrists?

    Yes. Note Dr has a free plan, so a sports podiatrist can document biomechanical assessments, orthoses prescriptions and return-to-sport reviews without a subscription or a card. The AI drafts each note from what you say during the consultation, and you review and approve it before it is saved. Paid plans add team-wide extras, but the core drafting and review workflow stays free to use.

    Is Note Dr secure for patient data?

    The consultation is transcribed on your own device, so the audio does not need to be sent to the cloud to become text. Note Dr then drafts your sports podiatry note from that transcript, and you review and approve it before anything is saved. It is built for UK practice, aligned to the HCPC and Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standards, and every note stays under your control.

    Do I need to connect Note Dr to my clinic's practice management system?

    No. Note Dr works alongside whatever practice management system you already use, so you copy or export the finished note into your records yourself. There is no integration to set up, so the same drafted note serves a boutique clinic, an NHS MSK service and pitch-side alike. You review and approve the biomechanical assessment or return-to-sport record, then paste it into your notes.

    Can Note Dr document a gait and biomechanical assessment?

    Yes. As you watch the patient run, call out the rearfoot motion, arch behaviour and special tests like the windlass, and reason toward the driver aloud, Note Dr records your gait analysis and biomechanical findings. The assessment and your reasoning are captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory later.

    Does it record orthoses prescriptions and footwear advice?

    Yes. As you specify the device, its posting, the footwear you advise and your reasoning, Note Dr records the full prescription and the consent to cast and fit in your structured note. The specification is captured so it is reproducible and reviewable, and you review and approve every note before saving.

    How does it handle load and return-to-sport decisions?

    As you progress load, check return criteria and the athlete agrees, Note Dr records the loads you set, the criteria met and the consent in your note. This builds the objective trail across an episode that audits and any re-injury query rely on. The clinical decision stays entirely with you.

    Can it capture outcome measures for foot and ankle function?

    Yes. As you take a validated measure such as the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure or a numerical pain rating, Note Dr records it in your note, ready to repeat at review. A baseline score is the quick, quiet step that slips when your hands are on the foot and your eyes on the treadmill, yet it is the figure a return-to-sport clearance is measured against. You approve before saving.

    Records that keep up with the caseload

    Complete, thorough records for every contact, from the biomechanical assessment to return-to-sport, reviewed and approved by you. The gait reasoning, the prescription, the consent and the loads, finally handled.
