Built in Canada for Canadian practicesHeidi AI Scribe Alternative

An AI scribe that's already inside your chart.

Heidi, Tali, and similar tools generate a note in a separate app that you then move into your EHR. Zdrovia's AI Scribe writes straight into the chart — and fills your structured fields, not just the prose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Comparing AI scribes, answered honestly.

Is this an unbiased comparison?▾

No — we built Zdrovia, so read this as our pitch, not a neutral review. The structural difference is real and easy to verify yourself: Heidi and similar tools are standalone AI scribes that hand you a generated note, and you still need an EHR to chart, schedule, and bill in. Zdrovia's AI Scribe is a feature inside the EHR itself.

What about Tali AI, Nuance DAX, or Freed?▾

Same category, same structural difference. They're purpose-built scribe products that generate a note for you to move into whatever practice-management system you already run. If you're already happy with your EHR and just want a better scribe, one of them may be the right call. If you're paying for a scribe on top of separate scheduling, charting, and billing software, Zdrovia folds all of it into one account.

Does Zdrovia's AI Scribe work as well as a dedicated scribe product?▾

It's newer and more narrowly scoped — English only today, no speaker labelling. What it does have that a bolt-on scribe can't: it already knows the chart it's writing into, so it can fill your Smart Block fields (pain scores, vitals, range of motion) directly instead of leaving you to re-type them from a generated note.

Is my data stored in Canada?▾

Yes. Zdrovia is PIPEDA-compliant, with data — including AI Scribe transcripts while a block is open — stored in Canadian data centres. Audio itself is never stored; it exists only for the length of the recording session.

What's included right now?▾
