Dictate the consultation, not every heading
After a nutrition consultation, you may remember the agreed change first, then the eating pattern that led to it, then the follow-up. That is a natural summary, but ordinary speech-to-text leaves it in the order you spoke it.
An ADIME draft adds the arrangement. The findings, nutrition diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring plan you supply become a document under the required headings. You can begin with the consultation account rather than dictate a finished note.
An example spoken out of order
This fictional dictation includes the dietitian's diagnosis and decisions. The ADIME version afterward is an illustration of how the same information can be arranged:
"We agreed to add a planned afternoon snack on workdays. She reports skipping lunch twice a week when the shift is busy and getting very hungry late in the afternoon. My nutrition diagnosis is inadequate oral intake related to missed meals during the workday, as evidenced by her reported skipped lunches and afternoon hunger. We discussed a lunch reminder too. At follow-up we will review how often lunch was missed and whether afternoon hunger changed. She wants an option she can keep at work."
Nutrition assessment: Patient reports skipping lunch twice weekly during busy shifts and marked hunger late in the afternoon. Wants a practical option to keep at work.
Nutrition diagnosis: Inadequate oral intake related to missed workday meals, evidenced by reported skipped lunches and afternoon hunger, as stated by the dietitian.
Nutrition intervention: Agreed to add a planned afternoon snack on workdays. A lunch reminder was discussed.
Monitoring and evaluation: At follow-up, review frequency of missed lunches and change in afternoon hunger.
The diagnosis was already in the dictation. The draft's job is to place it with the other supplied information, bring related statements together, and write the note.
Use a recap after the appointment
Astralcyte includes ADIME as a note format. You can dictate after the consultation instead of recording the whole discussion. The app turns the recap into a transcript and draft on your device.
Edit the text and copy it into your patient record. Your existing nutrition analysis tools remain where you use them; the added assistance is with writing the note from the account you provide.
The nutrition history stays private
The recording, transcript, and note remain in encrypted storage. Astralcyte does not receive them, as explained in the privacy policy. You can speak the summary you would otherwise type without sending the patient's eating history to an AI company.
