The MediQo AI Patient Observation Assistant automatically captures, charts, and displays key patient health indicators during your consultation — without requiring manual data entry.

This guide explains how the feature works and how to use it effectively in your workflow.

What Is the AI Patient Observation Assistant?

The AI Patient Observation Assistant provides a passive, longitudinal view of important clinical observations, including:


  • Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Body Weight

  • Blood Pressure

  • Body Temperature

  • Heart Rate

  • Capillary Refill Time


These observations are automatically extracted from your consultation audio and historical consult records, then charted over time.


The purpose of this feature is to:


  • Save clinicians time during consults

  • Surface trends instantly

  • Improve chronic disease monitoring

  • Support early identification of clinical risk


Reduce the need to manually search through previous notes

How It Works

When you are in a patient consultation:


  1. MediQo listens to the consult via your AI Scribe.

  2. Any referenced observations (e.g., blood pressure readings) are automatically captured.

  3. Historical observations from previous consults are displayed.

  4. The data is charted longitudinally — showing trends over time.


There is no manual data entry required.



Where to Find Patient Observations

During a consultation:


  • The Observation Assistant will appear alongside your AI Scribe and other MediQo tools.

  • Key health indicators will display in real time.

  • Each observation is clearly labelled.


You will see trend indicators such as:


  • Normal

  • Risky

  • Or other status flags to highlight potential follow-up needs.

These labels are designed to assist — not replace — clinical judgment.

Viewing Detailed Trends

If you would like to review a specific observation in more detail:


  1. Click on the relevant health indicator (e.g., Blood Pressure).

  2. A detailed view will open.

  3. You can assess historical values and trend progression over time.


This supports:


  • Chronic disease management

  • Risk stratification

  • Identifying gradual deterioration


Informing treatment adjustments

How Observations Are Recorded

Observations are:


  • Extracted automatically from consultation audio

  • Recorded based on prior consult history

  • Charted longitudinally without manual input


If an observation is not discussed in the consult, it will not be artificially generated.

You remain fully responsible for reviewing and confirming clinical data before acting on it.



Why Use the AI Patient Observation Assistant?

This feature helps clinicians:


  • Save time searching historical notes

  • Instantly visualise trends

  • Improve documentation consistency

  • Support proactive follow-up

  • Enhance continuity of care


It is particularly valuable for:


  • Chronic disease management

  • Preventative care reviews

  • Ongoing monitoring

  • Aged care settings

  • Multi-visit care plans

Does This Replace Clinical Judgment?

No.

The AI Patient Observation Assistant supports decision-making by presenting historical data clearly. All observations must still be reviewed and interpreted by the clinician.
