Add Patient

The electronic healthcare record process begins by entering patient data. VEHRDICT provides both voice-driven AI entry and manual form-based entry to make this process fast, intuitive, and accurate.

Adding a Patient Using AI

To create a new patient record using voice commands:

1. Click the microphone icon at the top toolbar.
2. Say: "Create a new patient record for..." and begin speaking naturally.

  * Example: “Address is 123 Main Street”, “Phone number is 404-555-2323”, “Email is emily.j@example.com”

1. When finished, say: "Do it" or click the Do it button to create the record.

Once the record is created:

• Review the auto-filled fields.
• Click the Edit Patient button to modify or complete missing information.
