🎯 Use Cases

Patient Scenario 1: Self-Diagnosis

"I've had a sore throat and fever for 2 days, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor"

MedPal Solution:

  1. Open app, go to AI Diagnosis
  2. Describe symptoms: "sore throat, fever 101°F, difficulty swallowing"
  3. AI shows: Acute Pharyngitis (78%), Strep Throat (72%), Flu (45%)
  4. Click on Strep Throat → Chat asks follow-up questions
  5. Get recommendation: "See doctor today for rapid strep test"

Clinician Scenario 1: Rapid Documentation

"How can I spend less time on note-taking and more time with patients?"

MedPal Solution:

  1. Before appointment: Pre-session setup with patient info
  2. During appointment: Start live transcript
  3. Speak naturally with patient, AI captures conversation
  4. After appointment: Review AI-generated summary in 10 seconds
  5. Edit & sign off → Note automatically formatted for EHR export
