Does Echo-Health.ai Support Macros or Snippets Like Other AI Scribe Tools?

Does Echo-Health.ai Support Macros or Snippets Like Other AI Scribe Tools?

No. Echo-Health.ai does not rely on traditional macros or text snippets that expand predefined phrases. Instead, we focus on a more intuitive and flexible experience driven by natural clinical language and structured prompts.

🧠 What Are Macros or Snippets?

In some platforms, macros are shortcut commands (like /fup) that expand into static blocks of text — often standardised follow-up plans, examination notes, or assessment phrases. While efficient, they require clinicians to memorise specific commands and can lead to generic documentation not tailored to individual consults.

🚀 How Echo-Health.ai Does It Differently

Echo-Health.ai is designed to be clinician-led, not shortcut-driven. We support:

• Natural Language Prompts
  You can type or speak using everyday clinical shorthand (e.g. “add asthma management plan” or “expand on cardiac risk”), and the system will interpret this and generate a context-aware, tailored response.

• Saved Prompts
  You can save your own prompts, giving you quick access to frequently used phrasing or instructions — without needing to memorise syntax.

• Structured Templates
  Templates exist where consistency is critical — for example, mental health or psychology notes. These are system-generated and cannot be edited to preserve clinical and medico-legal rigour.

• Ask AI = Full Flexibility
  This space gives clinicians the most control. Prompts written here are fully open-form and reflect your clinical voice — not a prewritten system format.

📝 In Summary

Echo-Health.ai has made a deliberate design decision not to support macros in the traditional sense. Clinicians are instead empowered to use their own voice, terminology, and shorthand. Our aim is to support natural, meaningful documentation — not just rapid text insertion.
