What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have PatientNotes set up for generating SLP-specific clinical notes — a healthcare-purpose-built alternative to using a general chatbot for your SOAP notes and progress documentation. PatientNotes understands clinical terminology and produces output formatted for healthcare documentation, reducing the time you spend editing AI-generated drafts.
What you'll need
- A PatientNotes account (patientnotes.app — free trial available)
- Your session data (patient diagnosis, activities, accuracy, behavioral observations)
- Time needed: 15 minutes to set up; 2-5 minutes per note
- Cost: Free trial; subscription plans vary — check patientnotes.app for current pricing
How-To Guide: Use PatientNotes for Clinical Documentation
Step 1: Create your account
Go to patientnotes.app and click Sign Up or Start Free Trial. Select your profession — look for Speech-Language Pathologist in the profession dropdown. This selection tailors the AI output to SLP documentation standards.
What you should see: A registration form followed by an onboarding flow with your first note template. Troubleshooting: If SLP is not a listed specialty, select a close equivalent (Allied Health, Rehabilitation Therapist) — the AI will still generate clinically appropriate language.
