We mainly use it for consultations right now — I like the development consultation and ASD template
The challenge
Before Empathia
“For autism assessments like ADOS, I want to use dictation during activities and report in another section later. I want to see how scores and answers from questionnaires will display in the system, especially for anxiety tools.”
Referred by a colleague, Dr. Kd is using Empathia primarily for consultations, with growing interest in ASD/ADOS workflows and AI-assisted intake. The clinic runs PS Suite today, with telemedicine supported via phone/Zoom, and is currently enrolled with Canada Health Infoway Program.
Care Setting: In-clinic and telemedicine
Team Setup: Physician with clinic staff; onboarding a new colleague
Common Note Types: Consultations (developmental), ASD/ADOS notes, primary care consults
Current EMR: TELUS PS Suite

Before
Consult notes took work to assemble: pulling data from questionnaires and PS Suite before writing the consult.
ADOS/ASD documentation was fragmented: observations during activities needed dictation and structured sections later.
Paper/EMR intake wasn’t leveraged in notes: anxiety and other screening scores weren’t flowing cleanly into consultation outputs.

How Empathia AI Fits Into Their Workflow
The Setup
Dictation anywhere: start a new session or add supplemental recordings after an encounter; verify dictation style settings.
Template access: all templates (including ASD) become available on signup; AI can convert sample notes into reusable templates.
Intake capture paths: copy/paste from EMR, upload for Smart Summary, or use screenshot capture to pull key data into notes.
Workflow Adaptation
Pre-visit:
Copy/paste EMR data, upload forms for Smart Summary, or use screenshot capture.
During visit (consult / ADOS):
Use dictation to capture observations; continue with ASD template.
Post-visit:
Add supplemental recording; finalize consult; include questionnaire scores and rationale where appropriate.
The Transformation
After Empathia
Key Improvements
Top Features Used
- Consult & ASD Templates — ready-made structures for developmental consults and ASD notes.
- Dictation (live or supplemental) — capture ADOS observations during activities; report later in a dedicated section.
- AI Intake (Questionnaires → Notes) — bring anxiety and other scores into consult outputs.
- Smart Summary — upload forms/faxes to generate concise summaries pre-visit.
- Telemedicine — make calls in-app (optional) or record Zoom/TELUS sessions via screen share capture.
- Autofill from - helpful to fill out repetitive forms automatically

Early trial outcomes point to cleaner consults, smoother ADOS documentation, and less manual assembly of intake data.
Consults: using ASD/consult templates reduces formatting overhead.
ADOS: dictation during activities → structured reporting later.
Intake: multiple paths (paste/upload/screenshot) bring scores & answers into notes for clearer documentation.
Televisit: in-app calling with automatic note generation, or Zoom capture — whichever matches clinic habits.
