Feature Requests

I recently trialed Open Evidence and one feature stood out immediately as a major differentiator: live, in-visit clinical guidance. During a visit, I could type questions such as “What questions should I ask next?” or “Is anything I recommended incorrect or missing?” and receive real-time, clinically relevant prompts while still with the patient. This functionality meaningfully improves visit quality, not just documentation. It supports clinical completeness, reduces cognitive load, and acts as a real-time safety net without interrupting workflow. Importantly, it is usable during the visit, not retrospectively. This is currently a gap in Heidi. Heidi is excellent as a documentation tool, and I have been loyal to it for that reason. However, without real-time, in-visit guidance, Heidi functions as a passive scribe rather than an active clinical support tool. Open Evidence is already offering this capability, and it is free. From a user perspective, the question becomes: what keeps clinicians from switching if this gap remains? I strongly recommend prioritizing a live visit interaction feature, where clinicians can: Ask what additional history, ROS, or counseling points may be appropriate in real time Sanity-check recommendations before the visit ends Receive prompts without breaking eye contact or workflow This type of functionality aligns with how clinicians actually think and practice, and it materially affects care quality, not just note quality. Adding this would significantly strengthen Heidi’s competitive position and long-term clinician loyalty.

Allow the presence of a specific dictation button. Allow dictation to work with external mic such as powermic. This will allow dictation within a note for specific section and to add more detail if needed. Please allow macros for dictation for repeated phrases or paragraphs.

PLease a copy button to be present near each section of a note. This will allow for fast click of the copy button to copy that particular section.

Once it seems like personalizations are well-calibrated, I would like to be able to keep those that I have without adding new personalizations, since sometimes the personalizations are not good for my notes. So a feature like "hold to current personalizations" would be useful, rather than turning them off or on.

We are seeking an effective in person meeting transcriber for investigation meetings, formal process meetings etc. This needs to be able to capture the minutes of the meeting, rather than a summary, allocating comments to each participant.

could you add a signature option to add to the end of every note ?

I want it to be able to produce several notes at once without me selecting them or creating them manually

I would heavily vote for making the ability to pull the timer reading into the note again. That was very helpful! and I feel it an important feature to have in Heidi.

It would be amazing if Heidi had a tool for editing - similar to chat gp - making notes sound more empathetic or professional as well as checking grammar etc. This would make it a one stop shop. This could be like superwhisper via dictation or if I write something I could past it in and it would edit - like chatgpt. I would use this multiple times per day.
