What the scribe does

In the room

Records on the phone or the desktop. If the connection drops the recording is held on the device and uploads when it returns, so every visit is kept.

On video

Joins Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams consultations, or runs inside Wai's own video calls, and writes the same note.

The note

A clinical summary, action points, red flags and safety-netting advice, laid out in your template. Tap any sentence to see the part of the transcript it came from.

Letters

Referral and GP letters, clinic letters and the revised Med 3 fit note, drafted from the consultation and carrying your name and registration.

Coding

ICD-10 codes on every visit and OPCS-4 for procedures, each with a confidence score and the transcript lines behind it.

Cited answers

Ask a clinical question mid-visit and the answer cites the guidance or paper it rests on, so you can check it before you use it.

Sign-off

Sign by passkey or PIN, one at a time or in a batch. Amendments after signing are kept as addenda.

See it run on one of your own consultations or a day at your front desk. 15 minutes on video.

It is used every day at a private clinic in London. Our UK roundup compares the major scribes, sourced and dated.

What is an AI medical scribe?

Software that listens to a consultation and writes the clinical documentation from it. Wai drafts the note, letters and coding during the visit, and the clinician reviews, edits and signs before anything is sent.

Does Wai work for UK private clinics?

Yes. It was built in a UK private practice. Records carry the NHS number, letters carry the clinician's GMC number, fit notes follow the revised Med 3, procedures are coded in OPCS-4, prescriptions go through SignatureRx and pathology through TDL.

How much does it cost?

Clinician Plus is $550 and Clinician is $350 per clinician a month, each with a monthly usage allowance, and every price is published at wai-health.com/pricing. A clinic or group that wants the front desk and payments as well requests a demo for a whole-clinic price.

Is Wai UK GDPR compliant?

Under UK GDPR your clinic is the controller and Wai is the processor, under a written data-processing agreement. Records are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, every access is logged against a named account, and each clinic's records are hosted in its own country. Wai holds a SOC 2 Type II report, sent on request.

Which languages does the scribe work in?

60, among them English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Polish, Urdu, Turkish, Russian, Mandarin and Italian. English can be mixed with Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Dutch, German, Hindi or Japanese in the same consultation, and the signed note is written in English for the record, or in another language the clinic chooses.

Does it work with my practice software?

Wai reads availability from Google, Outlook and Apple calendars, and the signed note and letters export to your record system. Most clinics run the whole day in Wai, so the diary, inbox, record and payments sit in one place. The integrations page lists what connects today.

Can I use it on video consultations?

Yes. Wai joins Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls, and clinics can also run consultations in Wai's own video calls.

How do patients consent to recording?

The clinic sets how consent is taken. Where a clinic takes bookings through Wai, the recording notice is shown at booking, and the clinician starts and stops the recording. Our guide to patient consent covers the GMC and ICO position.

Can NHS organisations use Wai?

NHS buyers start on the NHS page, which sets out the clinical safety, information governance and procurement review a deployment needs before any live use.
