Offline by design
The speech recognition and the language model live in your phone's storage and run on its chip. Basement apartments, rural routes, parking-garage charting — a dead zone changes nothing.
For home health clinicians
The AI scribe that never phones home.
CareDraft turns your post-visit dictation into a polished clinical note using AI that runs entirely on your phone's own hardware. No cloud servers. No subscription meter. No signal required.
- Works in airplane mode
- Encrypted on your device
- Zero notes sent to servers
Own your scribe
Cloud scribes rent you intelligence by the month. CareDraft does its thinking on hardware you already own — no subscription, no per-note metering, no price hikes on something you depend on.
Private by architecture
Dictation is transcribed and drafted without leaving the device, then encrypted at rest. There is no server copy to breach, sell, or subpoena — we couldn't read your notes if we wanted to.
Follow the dictation
Where does your voice go after you stop talking?
A typical cloud AI scribe
- Your dictation is recorded on the phone
- Uploaded over the network
- Processed in a data center
- Often relayed to a third-party AI provider
- The note — and your audio — now live on servers you'll never see
Every hop is a place your patient's story can leak, be retained, or be repurposed.
CareDraft
- Your dictation is captured by the mic
- Transcribed by an on-device speech model
- Drafted into a note by Gemma, running on the phone's chip
- Encrypted with AES-256 and stored locally
The entire pipeline, inside the bezel. Bytes sent to the cloud: zero.
How it works
Dictate on the doorstep. Done before you're in drive.
Dictate
Tap the mic after the visit and talk the way you chart. On-device speech recognition is tuned with home-health vocabulary — gait belts, contact guard, supine-to-sit and all.
Draft
A multi-billion-parameter Gemma model rewrites your dictation into clean clinical prose — as a single summary, or section-by-section in your own note template.
Review
Every draft is clearly labeled and never auto-signed. You check each number, side, and medication before it goes anywhere. AI drafts — you decide.
Export
Generate a clean PDF or share the text — after an explicit confirmation that you've reviewed it and are authorized to send it where it's going.
The visit toolkit
More than a note drafter.
Notes are the headline act, but CareDraft carries the rest of the visit bag too — exercise programs, med lists, teaching materials, routing, and mileage. Your records stay encrypted on your phone, same as your notes.
HEP builder
Exercise programs patients can actually follow.
Build a home exercise program in a couple of taps from a searchable library of illustrated exercises — each with step-by-step instructions written for patients, not therapists.
- Set reps, sets, and frequency per exercise
- Save programs as reusable templates for common diagnoses
- Add your own custom exercises to the library
- Export a patient-ready illustrated handout, and drop a summary straight into your visit note

Medication manager
Med lists without the typing.
Point your camera at a medication list or a row of bottles and CareDraft reads it, cleans it up, and turns it into a structured med list — name, dose, frequency, route. The text recognition runs on your phone, like everything else.
- Camera import with on-device OCR — review every extracted med before it's added
- Field-by-field dictation tuned for drug names and doses
- Save dated snapshots, so reconciliation has a paper trail
- Search your medication history instantly

Patient education
Teaching materials, ready before you ring the doorbell.
A built-in library of plain-language education modules — CHF, COPD, diabetes, fall prevention, wound care, blood thinner safety, and more. Combine modules into a packet for the visit and document the teaching in one step.
- 15+ condition modules, each with key points, red flags, and "when to call 911"
- Build reusable packets for common patient types
- Write custom modules for anything the library doesn't cover
- Export patient-facing handouts and a documentation summary for your note

Visit Router
Your day, in driving order.
Type the day's addresses and visit times, then drag the stops into the order that makes sense from the driver's seat. When the day is planned, open the full route in Apple Maps or Google Maps, or send the day's mileage to the vehicle log in one tap.
- Build and reorder the day's stop list locally
- Drag to reorder, or sort automatically by visit time
- Open the full route in Apple Maps or Google Maps when you choose
- One tap logs the day's mileage to Vehicle Tracking
Route details stay in the encrypted local draft until you choose to open the route in your maps app, where Apple or Google handles the navigation handoff.

The subscription math
Intelligence you own, not rent.
Cloud AI scribes commonly bill $100–$300 per clinician, per month — forever — because every note you draft costs them server time. CareDraft's AI runs on a chip you already bought.
$1,200–3,600/yr
Typical cloud AI scribe subscription, billed as long as you use it
$0/mo
CareDraft's recurring AI fee — your phone does the work, free
| Cloud AI scribe | CareDraft | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the AI runs | Vendor's data center | Your phone's hardware |
| Works with no signal | No | Yes — fully |
| Recurring AI fee | Monthly, per clinician | None |
| Your audio leaves the device | Yes, by design | Never |
| Keeps working if the vendor disappears | No | Yes — it's on your phone |
Security
Protection that doesn't ask for trust.
Most apps ask you to trust their privacy policy. CareDraft is built so there's nothing to trust us with — and what stays on your phone is locked down like it matters. Because it does.
AES-256-GCM at rest
Every note, transcript, and recording is encrypted on the device with authenticated encryption.
Hardened key derivation
Your PIN becomes a key via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 at 210,000 iterations — the current OWASP-recommended work factor.
Biometric unlock
Open with fingerprint or face using your phone's secure hardware. The PIN stays as the root of trust.
Offline recovery code
One recovery code, generated on your device, shown once. It's the only spare key — and it's in your pocket, not on our servers.
No accounts, no telemetry
No sign-up, no clinical analytics, no usage profiles. The app's only network calls are update checks and the one-time model download.
Cryptographic erase
"Delete all data" destroys the encryption keys — everything becomes unreadable instantly, even forensically.
Plain talk
The fine print, in large print.
AI drafts need your eyes
Speech models can mishear numbers, sides, and medication names, and language models can make confident-sounding mistakes. Every draft is labeled as a draft, and reviewing it is part of the job — yours.
Built for de-identified drafting
CareDraft is a personal drafting tool for post-encounter, de-identified notes. Don't record patient interactions or enter identifiers. We are not a HIPAA Business Associate — by design, we never touch your data.
No cloud backup, on purpose
Your notes exist on your phone and nowhere else. If you lose both your PIN and your recovery code, the data is gone for good — no support ticket can bring it back. That's the cost of nobody else holding a key.
Needs a modern phone
Running a multi-billion-parameter model locally takes recent hardware. The AI model is a one-time multi-gigabyte download at setup; after that, no connection is needed.
Questions
Asked and answered.
Does it really work in airplane mode?
Yes. After one-time setup — installing the app and downloading the AI model — dictation, transcription, drafting, and every tool in the app run entirely on the device. Try it: flip on airplane mode, dictate a note, and watch it draft.
What happens to my dictation audio?
It's transcribed on the device and stored encrypted on the phone. It is never uploaded, never used for training, and never visible to us. There is no "us" in the loop at all.
Is CareDraft HIPAA compliant?
CareDraft never receives your data, so there's no business-associate relationship to govern — we don't sign BAAs because there's nothing on our side to cover. It's intended for de-identified, post-encounter drafting. Whether you may use it in your workflow depends on your employer's policies and applicable law, so check before you chart.
Which phones does it support?
CareDraft is in field testing on modern Android phones. Local AI is demanding — recent mid-range and flagship devices work best. An iOS release is planned.
What AI is under the hood?
Note drafting runs on Google's Gemma open-weight models, executed locally by an on-device inference engine. Speech-to-text uses on-device recognition tuned with clinical vocabulary. Models are downloaded once at setup and live on your phone from then on.
What if I forget my PIN?
Use the recovery code you saved at setup to unlock and set a new PIN. If you lose both the PIN and the recovery code, your data is unrecoverable — we hold no keys and no copies, so there's no master unlock. Keep that code somewhere safe.
