Neuro Assistant-neurology-specific AI documentation tool.

Example

For a patient presenting with seizures, Neuro Assistant can provide a comprehensive narrative such as: 'The patient is a 45-year-old male who experienced a sudden, involuntary jerking movement in his right arm followed by a brief loss of consciousness. The episode lasted approximately 3 minutes, and the patient felt confused for several minutes afterward.'

Scenario

In clinical practice, when a neurologist encounters a patient with complex symptoms, this function allows the clinician to document detailed patient narratives that offer clarity and completeness, reducing the likelihood of missing crucial elements in the history.

Example

For a patient with a history of migraines currently taking multiple medications, Neuro Assistant generates a detailed list of medications, their dosages, and the patient's adherence to the treatment plan, e.g., 'The patient has been on Topiramate 100 mg daily for migraine prevention for the past 6 months but reports frequently missing doses due to side effects such as cognitive slowing.'

Scenario

This function is vital for neurologists managing patients with polypharmacy or those with potential medication side effects. It ensures that a clear understanding of the patient’s current and past treatments is documented.

Example

For a patient with progressive weakness, Neuro Assistant may document a detailed symptom timeline: 'The patient began noticing mild weakness in the legs approximately 6 months ago, which has steadily worsened. The weakness now extends to both arms, making it difficult for the patient to lift objects.'

Scenario

This is particularly useful when tracking the evolution of neurological symptoms over time. In cases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis (MS), symptom progression is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Example

When a patient presents with vertigo and dizziness, Neuro Assistant might summarize the findings and provide an initial differential diagnosis: 'Given the episodic nature of the vertigo, associated hearing loss, and aural fullness, Meniere’s disease is a primary consideration, though vestibular migraine and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) remain on the differential.'

Scenario

In a real-world clinical setting, this helps neurologists refine their diagnostic approach by summarizing symptoms and correlating them with potential diagnoses.

Example

For a patient presenting with numbness in the extremities, Neuro Assistant could summarize: 'This is a 38-year-old female with a 2-month history of progressive numbness and tingling in both hands and feet, likely consistent with peripheral neuropathy. Work-up for diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, and other causes of neuropathy is recommended.'

Scenario

This function aids in providing a concise and organized summary, essential for sharing quick patient overviews with colleagues or when writing medical reports.
