AiType — for non-clinical drafting
AiType is not a medical documentation system and does not provide EHR integration. Use only for non-clinical work approved by your organisation. Possible non-clinical uses:
- Personal notes and research (nothing patient-identifying)
- Emails to colleagues, administrators, and journals
- Referral letters and professional correspondence
- Medical education content (lectures, papers, blog posts)
- Administrative documentation not covered by HIPAA
- Personal productivity outside the clinical workflow
The right tool by use case
| Use case | Recommended tool |
|---|---|
| EHR documentation with PHI | Dragon Medical One / Suki / Nuance DAX |
| Referral letters and admin emails | AiType or Dragon Medical One |
| Research notes and papers | AiType (no PHI) |
| Patient encounter note capture | Dragon Medical One / Suki |
| Medical education content | AiType |
| Personal productivity (non-clinical) | AiType |
HIPAA compliance considerations
For protected health information, follow your organisation's approved policies and verify any vendor's current compliance terms directly with that vendor.
Bottom line: Do not use AiType for patient documentation unless your organisation has approved the workflow.
Mobile medical dictation
Check each product's current mobile support and test AiType in the supported apps and text fields you use for approved non-clinical tasks.
Recommendation
For clinical documentation with PHI, use only a workflow approved by your organisation. For non-clinical drafting, compare current platform support, privacy requirements, pricing, and review needs.
