An AI scribe that's already inside your chart.
Heidi, Tali and similar tools generate a note in a separate app that you then move into your EHR. Zdrovia's AI Scribe writes straight into the chart, and fills your structured fields, not just the prose.
Included on every paid plan
Talk through the visit. The fields fill themselves.
A standalone scribe hands you a note to paste somewhere. Zdrovia's scribe already knows the chart it is writing into, so the numbers land in the fields they belong in.
- You talk through the assessment the way you already do.
- The scribe writes into fields like these: a 0–10 pain score, and range of motion by region in degrees.
- Nothing is final until you review and sign it, and the audio is never kept.
If you love your EHR, keep it and add a scribe.
Stay with Heidi if
Standalone scribes are mature, focused products. If the rest of your software already works, adding one is the smallest change you can make.
- You are happy with your scheduling, charting and billing software
- You dictate in a language other than English
- You want a scribe without changing anything else
Move to Zdrovia if
Zdrovia is the EHR with the scribe built in, so there is no second app and no copying between them.
- You are paying for a scribe on top of separate practice software
- You want pain, range of motion and vitals stored as data, not prose
- You want one Canadian-hosted account for the whole practice
Zdrovia vs standalone scribes
A note that lands in the chart, not one you copy into it, plus everything else your practice runs on.
| Compared | Zdrovia | standalone scribes |
|---|---|---|
| Where the note lands | Written directly into the chart section it belongs in (better) | Generated in a separate app, then copied or synced into your EHR |
| Structured fields (pain scores, vitals, ROM) | Filled straight into the chart's structured fields (Smart Blocks) (better) | Prose note only; structured fields still entered by hand |
| Another app to open | No. It's a block inside the chart you're already in (better) | Yes, a separate scribe app alongside your EHR |
| CostConfirm current published pricing directly with the vendor. It changes. | Included on Small Practice and Team Practice (better) | Limited free tier; paid seats priced separately from your EHR |
| Word-level audio playback for review | Click any word to hear that instant while the note is open | Varies by vendor |
| Scheduling, forms, inventory, billing | Included in the same platform (better) | Not part of a standalone scribe; needs its own EHR |
