📚 Getting Started with Comprehend + Practice Pro

Comprehend works in three simple steps:

  1. ⏺️ Record your visit

⏺️ Recording Your Visit

Step 1: Open the Chrome Extension

  • Open the Comprehend Chrome extension.

Step 2: Start Recording

  • Click Record to begin capturing the session.
  • Record continuously
  • Pause/start as needed
  • Use a “brain dump” workflow after the session

Step 3: Dictate Key Clinical Information

Speak naturally while documenting:

  • Subjective updates
  • Pain levels
  • Objective measures
  • ROM/MMT findings
  • Exercises performed
  • Sets/reps/resistance
  • Manual therapy
  • Treatment response
  • Plan of care

Example:

  • “Right shoulder flexion 150 degrees.”
  • “Performed rows with blue TheraBand 2 sets of 10.”

Step 4: Stop Recording

  • Click Stop when finished.
  • Audio uploads automatically in real time.
  • Once uploaded, click Comprehend.


📝 Generating the Note

After recording:

  • Click Comprehend to generate the note.
  • The system automatically reviews the transcript and fills in the SOAP note sections.

Review:

  • Subjective
  • Objective
  • Assessment
  • Plan

Important:

  • Only information verbally stated in the recording can be added to the note.
  • If information is missing, click Resume and dictate the missing details.


đź“‹ Flow Sheet Integration

Comprehend can automatically update the flow sheet based on the exercises and interventions mentioned during the visit.

Examples of recognized items:
