How Sunoh.ai's AI Medical Scribe Works During a Patient Visit

Updated

Sunoh.ai is an AI medical scribe that listens to the patient–provider conversation during a visit and turns that dialogue into a structured clinical note draft inside your EHR. It is built for physicians and other clinicians who want to stop typing during encounters and cut down on after-hours charting. The workflow below describes what happens from the moment you start a visit to the point where you review and import the note.

The visit workflow, step by step

Sunoh.ai describes five stages that run during and right after the encounter:

  1. Listens to the conversation. The AI medical transcriptionist captures the details of the patient visit as they are spoken.
  2. Generates a dialogue flow. Using AI and voice recognition, it produces a transcript of the conversation.
  3. Creates a clinical document draft. The content is categorized into progress note sections so it is ready for review and import.
  4. Assists with order entry. It captures labs, imaging, procedures, medication orders, and follow-up details.
  5. Provides a summary for review. You get a summary you can review and modify before finalizing.

The practical result, according to Sunoh.ai, is that clinicians save 2+ hours daily and avoid late-night charting.

What the AI captures

  • Speech-to-text transcription of the visit, including complex medical terminology.
  • Multilingual support, so encounters in more than one language can be handled.
  • Order-related details: labs, imaging, procedures, medications, and follow-up.
  • Progress note sections, meaning the draft is organized the way a clinical note is structured rather than as a raw transcript.

Where it fits in your practice

Sunoh.ai integrates with leading Electronic Health Records and works on both mobile devices and desktops. It is positioned as usable across multiple specialties, and the notes are customizable to a practice's needs. The site states it follows industry-standard encryption and security protocols.

What to verify before adopting it

The homepage does not specify which EHR systems are supported, how pricing works, or what the exact accuracy looks like in your specialty. Before committing:

  • Check the Pricing page for cost structure and any trial terms.
  • Confirm EHR integration for the system your practice uses.
  • Test your own specialty's terminology and note format during any risk-free trial the site mentions.
  • Ask how review and edit work in practice, since the draft still requires your sign-off.

If your main goal is reducing keyboard time during visits and getting a structured draft you can review and import, Sunoh.ai's described workflow targets exactly that. The deciding factors will be EHR compatibility, specialty fit, and cost — none of which are detailed on the homepage, so confirm them directly before rolling it out.
