How Does the Comprehend Integration Work with my EMR?


How Does the Chrome extension / Integration work with an EMR?


To view a video demo instead, select your EMR from the list below:



The Comprehend extension connects directly to the page you're viewing in your EMR so we can directly fill out your note for you! We scan all the sections in your EMR template and display the ones we can fill out within the extension.


  • The extension scans the page to identify the visit type (e.g., **Initial Evaluation, Daily Note, etc) and the sections our platform can input the note.**
  • These sections are then displayed in the extension for you to see. Note all sections pulled in, are all the sections we are able to fill out!


Comprehend requires an open note in your EMR to sync properly. If no note is open, syncing won't occur—however, you can still record your visit as usual.



Example with Jane EMR




Think of the Comprehend extension as your personal medical scribe! When open, it scans the page you're working on to see what it can fill out for you. Follow these simple steps, accompanied by pictures for clarity:

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started:



Make sure you’re using the browser version of your EMR, not the application! The Comprehend extension can only fill out notes in the browser. If you're using the app, you'll need to copy and paste the note manually into your EMR!





1. Open the Patient Chart


  • Start by opening your patient chart as you normally would, like you're preparing to fill it out yourself.


2. Open the Comprehend Extension


  • Click the puzzle icon at the top-right corner of your browser to access your extensions.
  • Select the Comprehend extension to open it.


3. Create a New Visit Recording


  • Click the ‘+ New Visit’ button in the top-right corner of the extension.
  • This will create a brand-new visit that you can start recording into🎉



How Note Types Work in Comprehend:


The Note Type in Comprehend is based on the name of the type of visit!


  • Comprehend should automatically choose the right note setting based on the visit type (Daily Note, Eval, Progress Note etc.)
  • If Comprehend picks the wrong note type, you can always change it by selecting a different one.



4. Record Your Visit Details


Choose how to provide visit information:

  • Record the entire visit live (up to 120 min of recording time)
  • Record yourself summarizing what happened during the visit (perfect if the visit already happened)
  • Or do both!


  • Click the “Record” button to start recording.


5. Finish Recording and click Stop


  • 🛑 When you're done, click ‘Stop’.


Make sure to record all the information you want included in the note!


  • Sometimes, details like your assessment of the patient or measurements may not be said out loud during the visit. If that happens, be sure to record yourself mentioning them separately so they’re captured in the note.


  • All you have to do is Resume the recording and add more information to the visit.



6. Comprehend Transcribes the Recording


  • The AI will take a 3-10 seconds to transcribe your recording
  • Once it says ‘Transcription Complete’ you’re good to generate your note 🎉


Fun Fact: Your recording is deleted immediately after we process the transcript! Our system creates notes based on the transcript, not the live recording, ensuring your data stays secure




Filling Out the Note in Your EMR


1. After your visit is recorded, click the Comprehend button.


  • This button generates a note for all sections we can fill out, using the information from the visit to create the note.


2.If your note has multiple pages, open each page or section you want to fill out, then click ‘Comprehend’ on that page before moving to the next.


  • Continue to click and Comprehend each section until all sections are filled out.


3. You’re done! 🥳


  • Look over the generated note in your EMR before submitting!



Customizing Your Notes


Choosing Which Sections Comprehend Fills out:


  • You can easily set certain sections to 'skip'. This means Comprehend will not change or update that part of the note.
  • This note settings is always saved for that note type (ex. Daily Note) until you change it.

Customizing your notes. How to train the AI to write notes like you would!


Comprehend can learn from your edits ✍🏽


  • By default, the AI creates a standard note if you haven't trained it yet.
  • Comprehend learns from the edits you make to your note in your EMR


Step 1:

  • After the note is generated, make any edits you'd like—add details, delete anything unnecessary, or change the formatting.

Step 2:

  • Once you're happy with the note, click Learn.
  • This teaches the AI your preferences based on your changes to the original note.
  • Next time, your note will be written more like your edited version—so you won't need to repeat the same edits.
