Briefing — a prioritised patient brief before the visit

How it works

Designed to go from sign-up to a briefed clinic in one afternoon.

Step 1

Sign your clinic up

A couple of minutes. Name your practice and pick your vertical. No hardware, no EHR project.

Step 2

Get your clinic's QR code

Show it at reception, or add it to booking confirmations and reminder texts.

Step 3

Patients scan — if they choose

Optional, a few minutes, on their own phone. An adaptive interview, not a 40-field form.

Step 4

Open a briefed day list

Each prepared patient shows a 20-second brief: ranked issues, red-flag screen, and their goal.

The artefact

One screen. Twenty seconds. Ranked, not dumped.

The brief is always the same shape, so it becomes muscle memory: a one-line situation, an always-present red-flag banner, a hard cap of three ranked issues, the patient’s goal on its own line — and a footer that never lets self-report masquerade as fact. Here is a sample physio brief, and how it reads down a clinic’s day list.

ISBAR pre-visit brief

Jordan Michaels · 34

Physiotherapy · Low back pain · 3 weeks ↑

20-sec read

Situation. 34-year-old, mechanical low back pain for 3 weeks, gradually worsening, no leg symptoms below the knee. Here for a first physio assessment.

No red flags reported
Screened for cauda equina, unexplained weight loss, night pain and recent trauma — all negative.

Top 3 — ranked, not exhaustive

Mechanical LBP, worse with sitting & lifting, eased by walking. NRS 6/10
STarT Back: medium risk — fear it is something serious, now avoiding activity.
Sleep disrupted — waking 2–3× a night from discomfort.

Patient's goal (what they want)

“Run a half-marathon in 10 weeks — and stop worrying it’s serious.”

Tried: ibuprofen (some relief), rest, heat pack. May want to explore: graded return to activity, reassurance on the STarT psychosocial score, sleep.

Medications, allergies & full transcript — patient-reported

Meds: ibuprofen 400mg PRN (self-reported). Allergies: none reported. All items unverified self-report — not reconciled against records.

All information patient-reported and unverified. Not a diagnosis or triage decision.

The Line — today’s clinic list

Built for every practice

One product, in each clinic’s own language.

The interview and the brief adapt to the vocabulary of the practice. Physio is our worked example; GP is in preview; dental and chiro follow the same shape.

What your clinic will get

A QR code that starts patients on their own intake.

Each scan is designed to open the patient’s own copy of the app and start an intake tied to your practice. Briefing is being built to stay patient-owned — the intent is that nothing reaches you until the patient reviews it and chooses to send.
