The Heidi alternative
The AI medical scribe alternative to Heidi
Like Heidi, Pabau Scribe captures your consultation and turns it into structured clinical notes in real time. Unlike Heidi, it is built into your entire clinic — so notes, charts, prescriptions and letters all happen in one system, not a standalone app you copy and paste from. Be present with every patient, finish charts during clinic hours, and leave admin at the door.

“The top challenge for me was to liberate myself from writing consultation notes so often. Pabau Scribe helps a lot, as we can select different ways to write notes. We can dictate, and it becomes easier and quicker to write more professional-looking notes.”
Pabau Scribe vs Heidi
Notes done before the patient leaves the room
Just like Heidi, Pabau Scribe listens during consultations and automatically converts the conversation into structured clinical notes and treatment plans. The difference: those notes land straight in the client’s record in Pabau — with no exporting or pasting from a separate scribe app.
Walk into every appointment fully prepared
A standalone scribe like Heidi starts every note from a blank page. Because Pabau Scribe sits on top of your complete client record, it automatically generates a clear summary of a client’s medical history and past treatments before every consultation — so you walk in fully prepared.
Prescribe with confidence
Heidi can write the note, but it cannot help you prescribe. Pabau Scribe’s Drug Agent analyses patient records in real time, flagging allergies and contraindications before every prescription — an extra layer of safety a standalone scribe simply cannot offer. Final decisions always stay with the clinician.
Personalized letters, faster
Referral letters and patient summaries used to eat into valuable clinic time — and a scribe like Heidi cannot write them, because it does not hold your records. Pabau Scribe automatically pulls the right information from the client record and generates personalized letters in seconds.
Pabau Scribe on Pabau GO
Take Pabau Scribe with you. Available on iOS via Pabau GO, you can capture consultations into structured clinical notes directly from your iPhone or iPad — like Heidi’s mobile app, but connected to your whole clinic, not a standalone note.
