Is Anyhealth an AI scribe for podiatrists?

It does the job people mean by that, and then the part they do not. Anyhealth records the consult, drafts the note in your own format, and you read and sign it. What makes it different is where the note goes: it is written back into your practice management software against the right patient and the right appointment, so your records stay in one place rather than in a scribe and a practice system that do not speak.

Will it handle a twenty-minute routine appointment as well as an assessment?

Yes, and differently. Note formats are configured per appointment type, so a routine treatment and a biomechanical assessment produce differently structured notes. That configuration is set up with you during onboarding rather than chosen from a menu of discipline presets.

Can it write the report back to the referring GP?

It drafts one. Anyhealth builds a report from the notes you have already signed for that patient, and you edit it before it goes anywhere. The draft is yours to copy or download; unlike a signed note, a letter is not written into your practice management software automatically.

For podiatrists

Your podiatry notes, done by the time the patient leaves.

A podiatry list is long and the consults are short. Anyhealth turns each one into the record it should produce, structured the way your practice structures it, and writes the note you sign back into your practice management software.

Biomechanical assessments, high-risk foot reviews, routine treatment and orthotic follow-up all document differently. Your note format follows the appointment type, so a twenty-minute review does not arrive shaped like an initial assessment.

The consults you actually run

Your note format follows the appointment type, so each of these produces the document it should rather than one shape stretched over all of them.

Biomechanical assessment: The measurements, the footwear, the gait observations and the plan you set. The value of this note is six weeks later, when the review has to be compared against something specific rather than against a memory of a busy Tuesday.
High-risk foot review: The checks you ran, the risk category you recorded, the review interval you set and the wording that has to go back to the referring GP. This is the note most likely to be read by someone other than you.
Routine treatment: Twelve short appointments in a day, each needing a real record. Consistency is the problem here rather than depth: the fourth note of the afternoon should carry the same detail as the first.
Orthotic issue and review: What was prescribed, what was issued, how it fitted and what changed. Recorded as you go, so the follow-up months later starts from the file rather than from a fresh assessment.

How a consult becomes a note

Step one
Record the consult, or dictate it afterwards
On your phone, in the room or in the car between visits. Anyhealth already knows who the appointment is for and what kind of appointment it is, because it reads the diary in your practice management software.
Step two
Read the draft in your own format
The note is drafted section by section in the format that appointment type already uses in your practice. Edit anything that is not how you would have put it.
Step three
Sign it, and it is filed
Signing writes the note back into your practice management software, against the right patient and the right appointment. Nothing reaches it unsigned.

Referrals, care plans and the letters they generate

Podiatry carries less NDIS reporting than most allied health and far more referrer correspondence. The paperwork is the letter, and the letter is only as good as the notes underneath it.

Medicare chronic disease management: A referral under a chronic disease management plan comes with a report back to the referring GP. Anyhealth drafts that report from the notes you have already signed for that patient, so it is written from the record rather than reconstructed at the end of a course of treatment.
DVA and NDIS: Both want the same thing from a note: what was done, why, and what changed. A note written from the consult rather than from memory at eight that evening is the difference between a claim that is supported and one that is merely plausible.
Workers compensation: Insurer correspondence asks for findings, treatment and response in a neutral register. Anyhealth drafts it from your signed notes and hands you a draft to edit, not a letter to sign blind.

Reports drafted from the notes you already signed

A report is only ever as good as the record underneath it, and the record is the part that gets squeezed. Anyhealth drafts NDIS progress reports, workers compensation letters, reports back to a referring GP and referral replies from the notes you have already signed for that patient.

The draft is a starting point, not a submission. You edit it, and it is yours to copy or download. Unlike a signed note, a letter is not written into your practice management software automatically — what leaves your hands is something you have read and decided to send.

Configured to your appointment types, not to a discipline

There is no podiatry edition of Anyhealth, and that is a feature rather than an omission. Note formats follow the appointment types your practice already runs, configured with you during onboarding, so the structure matches your practice rather than a template someone else chose.

It also means a practice with podiatrists and a myotherapist in the same rooms gives both of them the right note. Chiropractors, myotherapists, audiologists, social workers, counsellors and any other allied health discipline that has to write up a consult are set up the same way.

Which practice software it connects to

Australian, and it stays that way

Audio, transcripts and clinical content are processed and stored in Australia, in AWS’s Sydney region. Note drafting runs on an Australia-only inference profile. Identifiable content is not used to train models.

Your clinical records remain the property of your practice. Signed notes are written back into your own practice management software as you sign them, so if you stop using Anyhealth the records are already where they belong.

Everything else we get asked

Start with one of your own consults.

Every practice is onboarded by hand, so the first conversation is a real one: what you document, which system you are on, and whether Anyhealth fits. If it does not, we will say so.
