From assessment to approved record

Note Dr listens as the assessment happens. While you screen on the side of the pitch, rule out the injuries you cannot miss and talk through what you find, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the athlete and your eyes stay off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible by
default, every contact

  • The concussion call and its reasoning

    The SCAT6 findings, the recognise-and-remove decision and why you held the athlete, captured as you reason it through, not reconstructed after a poor outcome.

  • Emergency and pitch-side care recorded

    The mechanism, the screen for the injuries you cannot miss and what you did on the side of the pitch, documented contemporaneously the moment it happens.

  • Dual obligation and consent on record

    The risks you explained, the athlete's wishes against the club's pressure and what was agreed, with any medication and anti-doping note kept, recorded as you gain consent.

As sharp as your pitch-side call

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the pitch-side and emergency care, the concussion assessment, the return-to-play decision, consent and outcomes, where conventional sports therapy records, measured against published standards, routinely fall short.

  • Time back in your day
  • Attention on the patient

Standards and analyses referenced: GMC Good Medical Practice (2024), the FSEM Professional Code (2025), the Concussion in Sport Group consensus (British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023) and legal analyses of the rugby brain-injury group litigation (2025).

    Ask Note Dr, Kwame Boateng
    What was the concussion decision for Kwame, and what did he consent to?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the pitch-side assessment on 14 June, you recorded a suspected concussion on SCAT6, with impaired Maddocks orientation and abnormal balance, and removed him for the day on recognise and remove. You issued written head-injury advice, and consent was documented for the graduated return-to-sport pathway, with clearance required before contact.

    The protocol,
    on the sideline

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance sports therapists work to, from the Concussion in Sport Group consensus and SCAT6 to the FSEM Professional Code and GMC record-keeping standards, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your athlete; that judgement stays with you.

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

    ★★★★★

    My concussion call is documented

    Lewis P, sports therapist

    Head injuries are the ones you cannot get wrong. The SCAT6 findings, the removal decision and the advice I gave are on record the moment it happens, in the same format every time. If a removal is ever questioned, the record already tells the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Pitch-side care, finally on record

    Bethan C, lead sports therapist

    On the touchline I used to write it up hours later, if at all. Now the mechanism, the cervical screen and why I held a player off are captured before I'm back in the changing room. I edit and approve on the bench.

    ★★★★★

    The dual obligation, handled

    Omar C, first-team sports therapist

    There is real pressure from the bench to send someone back on. Note Dr captures what I explained, the athlete's wishes and exactly what was agreed, so the line between their interest and the club's is documented, not just remembered.

    ★★★★★

    Rehab milestones, never lost

    Niamh F, sports therapist

    The loads I progressed and the criteria I cleared used to live in my head between sessions. Now every milestone is logged as we go, so the return-to-play trail is there in full if a re-injury is ever raised.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest record review we've had

    Gareth W, head of medical services

    Clear, accurate, contemporaneous records across the whole medical team, with the concussion decisions, consent and outcomes on every episode. Our last governance review was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a season of contacts, pitch-side assessments, injury clinics, rehab reviews and return-to-play clearances, every record now reads to the same standard, with the concussion findings, reasoning, consent and loads that used to vanish in a busy week. My notes finally match the decisions I actually make.

    Sports therapist FAQs

    What is the best AI scribe for sports therapists?

    The best AI scribe for sports therapists documents the full range of sports therapy contacts, not just a clinic SOAP note. Note Dr drafts the pitch-side assessment, the SCAT6 concussion screen, the rehab progression and the return-to-play clearance, with transcription handled on your device and every note reviewed and approved by you before it is saved.

    Does an AI scribe work for sports therapists or only physiotherapists?

    An AI scribe built only around a physiotherapy clinic note will miss the work that defines sports therapy. Note Dr documents the acute pitch-side and emergency care, the SALTAPS or TOTAPS on-field assessment, the concussion decision and the return-to-play clearance, as well as the injury-clinic and rehab notes. Every draft is yours to review and approve.

    Do I need an EHR to use an AI scribe pitch-side?

    Note Dr needs no EHR, so a sports therapist can document on the touchline, in the treatment room or at an away fixture without being tied to a clinic system. It drafts the record from what it hears, and you review, approve and then paste or export the note into whatever notes or practice management system your club or clinic uses.

    How do I document a return-to-play decision with an AI scribe?

    As you talk through the return-to-play criteria, the objective findings and the shared decision to clear an athlete, Note Dr drafts the return-to-play clearance for you. It captures the criteria met, such as limb symmetry and pain-free maximal loading, the risks you explained and the informed consent to return. You review and approve the clearance before it is saved.

    Does it support concussion and SCAT6 assessment records?

    Yes. As you complete a head-injury assessment, Note Dr records the SCAT6 findings, the recognise-and-remove decision and the graduated return-to-sport stage in a structured note, in line with the Concussion in Sport Group consensus. It supports your documentation; the clinical and removal decisions stay entirely with you.

    Can it track rehabilitation progression and outcome measures?

    Yes. As you progress loads, log tolerance and clear each rehab milestone, Note Dr records the load you set, the reasoning and the outcome measures taken at every stage. This builds the objective trail across an injury episode that any return-to-play or re-injury query relies on. You review and approve before saving.

    Does it record consent and the dual obligation to athlete and club?

    Yes. As you explain the risks of returning, weigh the athlete's wishes against any pressure to play and agree a plan, Note Dr captures the consent discussion in the note. What you explained and what was agreed are recorded the moment the conversation happens, exactly where your exposure sits.

    Records that keep up with the squad

    Complete, audit-ready records for every contact, from pitch-side and injury clinic to rehab and return-to-play, reviewed and approved by you. The assessment, the concussion call, the consent and the loads, finally handled.
