Documentation Suffers Where Care Matters Most
Medical missions and field deployments face a cruel paradox: the highest patient loads and most complex cases occur where documentation infrastructure is nonexistent.
0% connectivity
Of MSF field hospitals in active conflict zones have reliable internet for more than 2 hours per day
400+ patients/day
Typical patient load in refugee camp clinics — documentation is either skipped or done from memory days later
68% data loss
Of clinical encounters on medical missions lack any written documentation, creating medico-legal and continuity-of-care gaps
Built for Zero-Infrastructure Deployment
14-Day Offline Buffer
500 MB of IndexedDB storage handles 36+ hours of audio. For multi-week missions, ChartScribe supports bulk export to encrypted USB drives for physical transport — notes sync when you return to a connected facility.
Satellite-Uplink Compatible
When mission sites have Iridium GO or Starlink terminals, ChartScribe adapts to satellite link characteristics: high latency (600ms+), intermittent drops, and asymmetric bandwidth. Uploads resume through dropouts without corruption.
Multilingual Transcription
Whisper supports 99 languages including Swahili, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and indigenous languages. ChartScribe can generate notes in English from consultations conducted in the local language — critical for mission teams working through interpreters.
Zero-Cloud Local Operation
In environments with zero connectivity for weeks, ChartScribe operates entirely on-device. No cloud dependency for recording, storage, or basic playback. Full functionality degrades gracefully — only transcription and AI note generation require eventual connectivity.
Lightweight Device Agnostic
Works on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop brought on mission. No specialised hardware required. A mid-range Android phone ($200+) has sufficient processing power for full ChartScribe operation including local transcription.
Triage-Mode Rapid Notes
Mass-casualty mode generates abbreviated SOAP notes in 30 seconds rather than 90 — prioritising action items, medication orders, and disposition over full narrative documentation. Designed for outbreak response and disaster medicine.
From Departure to Debrief
Pre-Mission Setup
Install the PWA before departure. Pre-sync templates for expected conditions (malaria, malnutrition, obstetric emergencies). Offline mode is pre-activated.
Document Every Encounter
Record consultations, ward rounds, surgical procedures, and community health screenings. Each recording is encrypted and timestamped with GPS coordinates (where available).
In-Field Partial Sync
If satellite or intermittent cell coverage becomes available, ChartScribe opportunistically uploads the highest-priority recordings first (ICU patients, surgical cases, outbreak notifications).
Full Sync on Return
When the team reaches a connected facility or returns home, all remaining recordings upload automatically. Complete notes are available within hours of arrival.
Mission-Grade Documentation
From refugee camps to disaster zones, ChartScribe produces documentation that meets the standards of home-country medical boards, funding organisations, and quality improvement programmes — even when recorded under extreme field conditions.
- Compatible with MSF, WHO, and ICRC documentation standards
- Generates encounter logs for donor reporting and grant compliance
- Supports public health surveillance: outbreak detection, contact tracing
- Creates discharge summaries for patient handoff to local facilities
Document the Undocumented
Every patient encounter deserves a clinical record — regardless of geography. ChartScribe brings world-class documentation to the world's most challenging environments.
