Mixed-language physiotherapy
AI scribe for Mandarin, Cantonese and English consultations
Your patient may describe symptoms in Mandarin or Cantonese and switch to English for an activity or clinical term. 8 Scribe captures mixed-language consultations and prepares one English draft in your own template.
Consultation speech
右膝痛了两周, especially when I go downstairs.
Let the conversation move naturally.
Language switching can happen within a sentence. A patient might say ‘右膝痛了两周, especially going downstairs.’ The record needs to keep the reported side, duration and aggravating activity together.
8 Scribe supports English, Mandarin and Cantonese consultations, including these language switches. The draft follows your template headings, so you can check the consultation in the structure your clinic already uses.
Keep what the patient actually reported.
In the fictional Cantonese example ‘右膝痛咗兩個星期, especially 落樓梯嗰陣’, the patient reports right knee pain for two weeks, worse going downstairs. That is the information to preserve in the English draft. Examination findings and treatment decisions should come from the clinician’s actual assessment.
- Check names, numbers and clinical terminology.
- Keep patient reports separate from your examination findings.
- Review negations, laterality and symptom timing before filing.
One draft, in your existing workflow.
Use your Nookal or Cliniko template, review and edit the draft, then file directly to the selected patient record. AI body charts help you check the described symptom areas alongside the note. You remain in control of the final record.
