OfflineSOAP: a SOAP note draft from a visit recording, in your browser
A web app that records a visit with no internet, writes the transcript on your phone or computer and, on devices that can, drafts a SOAP note there too. Review, edit and export it; the recording stays on the device.
What it does
OfflineSOAP is a web app for clinicians. It records a patient visit once the patient agrees, writes the transcript on your own phone or computer, and on devices that can run a drafting model it drafts a SOAP note there too. You read the draft, change what needs changing, and export it to your own chart.
The recording, the transcript and the note are not sent to us or to anyone else. Once you add OfflineSOAP to your home screen, it opens and works in an exam room with no signal.
How a visit goes
- Read the consent card to the patient and tap that they agreed. The app keeps the wording and the time with the note.
- Record the visit. Keep the screen on while you record, because locking a phone stops a recording in a web app.
- Tap Stop. The app writes the transcript on the device, then drafts Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan, each with the transcript words it came from.
- Check anything the app flags: a number it could not find in the recording, a code it could not match, a point the visit did not cover.
- Edit, then export as plain text or Markdown. The last line of the Plan says the note began as an AI draft.
Which devices draft the note
- Chrome on a desktop computer with Chrome's built-in model drafts with that model.
- Phones and computers whose browser supports WebGPU, such as recent Chrome and Edge, Safari on the newest iPhones and Macs, and Chrome on recent Android phones, draft with a small open model after a one-time download. The download is large, so the app asks first and suggests Wi-Fi.
- Any other device still records and writes the transcript, and gives you a SOAP template labelled "No AI draft on this device" to fill in by hand.
What it will not do
- It does not diagnose, treat or replace your clinical judgement. Every note is a draft for the clinician to review.
- It flags any number, finding or code in the draft that it cannot find in the recording, so you check it before the note goes anywhere.
- It does not send audio, transcripts or notes off the device.
Your notes live in this browser
Notes and recordings are kept, encrypted, in the storage of the browser you made them in. They are not copied to another device or to a cloud. Clearing this site's data, or removing the app from your home screen, deletes every note, so export what you need to keep.
Getting it
OfflineSOAP opens in Safari or Chrome, and you add it to your home screen from there (on a computer, use the install icon in the address bar). Client practices of PatientMD sign in with their PatientMD login or a practice code. Other practices will be able to subscribe through Stripe; subscriptions are not open yet.
This page will link to the app when it opens.
Frequently asked
Does PatientMD see my patients' information?
No. Recording, transcription and drafting happen on your phone or computer. The app talks to us only to confirm your account: your sign-in, a device identifier the browser creates, and the app version.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not for a visit. You need a connection the first time you open the app, for the one-time model download, and now and then to renew your account check.
Can I use the note in my EHR?
Yes. Export it as text or Markdown and paste it into your chart. Review and sign it there as you would any note.
What happens to my notes if I clear my browser?
They are deleted. Notes live only in the browser on the device where you made them, so export each note you need to keep.
