Clinical documentation, rewritten
Look at the child,
not the keyboard.
Catat listens to the consultation and drafts a structured clinical note in about two minutes. The doctor edits and approves every word. You leave the clinic with your notes already written.
Built for paediatric practice. No note enters the record until the doctor has reviewed and approved it.
In daily use at a paediatric clinic in Kuala Lumpur.

The problem
The consultation ends. The typing begins.
In a full paediatric clinic, every patient leaves behind a second job: writing it all up. It gets pushed into the gaps between patients, then to the end of the day, then home.
Documentation can rival face-to-face time.
Across a clinical day, writing up notes can take as long as seeing the patients themselves.
Leaves a second job behind.
The note waits to be written, so it slips into the gaps between patients, then to the end of the day.
Is where the day really ends.
The catch-up writing follows the last patient home. That is the hour Catat is built to give back.
Figures describe the documentation workload Catat is built to reduce. Time saved varies by clinic.
Method
Three steps. Nothing new to learn.
Catat fits the way a clinic already runs. Press record at the start of the visit and carry on as normal.
Record the visit
Record the live consultation or dictate afterwards. Pause to send a child for investigations and resume later; the segments are labelled and stitched together automatically.
Catat transcribes
The audio is transcribed automatically. Long consultations of 60 to 90 minutes are captured in segments, so nothing is cut short.
A structured draft appears
Catat returns a clean note in the clinician's own structure, subjective, objective, assessment and plan, ready to review, edit and approve.
About 2 minutes to a structured draft after recording. Up to 90 minutes handled in a single session.
The same recording can also produce
- Ward round progress notes
- Developmental screening summaries
- Referral and parent letters
- A full EMR note on demand
Control
Catat drafts.
The doctor decides.
Catat is an assistant, not an author. It prepares a draft from what was said. The clinician has the final word on every note that enters the record.
A practical companion for clinicians: how to review an AI-generated note before you sign it.
A draft stays a draft. It enters the record only when the doctor reviews and approves it, never before.
Rewrite any section, correct a finding, or start again. The generated text is a starting point, fully under the doctor's pen.
Notes are drafted from the consultation transcript, so the doctor can check any line against the recording.
Diagnosis, dosing and management remain the clinician's judgement. Catat handles the writing, not the decisions.

Privacy
Patient information,
handled with care.
Catat works with sensitive clinical data, so how that data is handled is part of the product, not an afterthought.
- Encryption
- Data is encrypted in transit between the clinic and Catat.
- Isolation
- Each clinic's records are kept separate from every other clinic's. There is no shared patient data between practices.
- AI processing
- Transcription and note drafting run through vetted enterprise AI providers under API terms. Your recordings and notes are not used to train their models.
- Ownership
- The clinic remains the custodian of its patient data. Catat processes it to produce notes at the doctor's direction, and does not sell or share it.
- Retention
- Data is kept for as long as it is clinically and legally required, and handled on a need-to-know basis.
Catat follows the principles of Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA): patient data is collected for care and documentation only. How Catat stores and processes your clinic's data is set out in Data processing.
