Episode 95: Unplugged: My Favorite Game-Changing New App

Are you seeking a way to reduce burnout and bring more creativity into your medical practice? This episode of The Catalyst Podcast with Dr. Lara Salyer, we learn about Freed.ai, which she calls “a game-changing app for doctors”. It’s an innovative peripheral listening system designed to revolutionize patient-doctor interactions and it’s a tool that listeners may want to consider testing in their practices.

Dr. Salyer discusses the often-overlooked contributor to healthcare burnout: the cumbersome electronic medical records (EMR) systems. She reveals that EMRs are responsible for a significant 20% of burnout metrics in healthcare. Her solution? Integrate creativity in medical practices, and embrace technology like Freed.ai to alleviate these challenges.

Freed.ai promises more efficient and engaging patient visits. Dr. Salyer shares her experience with the app during a 60-minute functional medicine visit. Testing its capabilities with various topics, she was impressed by its ability to accurately capture and organize notes. The app skillfully segments notes into different categories, including summaries and patient instructions, making it a valuable asset for any healthcare professional.

Dr. Salyer’s enthusiasm for Freed.ai is palpable as she recommends it as a game-changer for both solo practitioners and larger institutions. She highlights its affordability and potential to make patient interactions more enjoyable and fulfilling.

For those interested in trying Freed.ai, Dr. Salyer provides a discount code (CATALYST) for $50 off the first month. She encourages healthcare professionals to test the app with their try-before-you-buy promise of 10 patient visit trial, believing firsthand experience is the best way to gauge its benefits.

About The Catalyst Host, Dr. Lara Salyer:

I worked as a family physician for 15 years until burnout changed the trajectory of my career. I realized I wanted to start a holistic functional medicine practice in my rural hometown and made it happen. In addition to practicing functional medicine, I now mentor practitioners who are looking to change their paths in healthcare by using what I refer to as the “Catalyst Roadmap”. I share each step of this framework with listeners so that they may apply it to their careers, relationships, personal goals, and projects.

Quotes:

“What I love is it segments the note from subjective to physical exam to assessment and plan, and even includes a summary and then a patient letter for instructions. I was shocked. It was so accurate. I couldn’t believe my eyes.” (11:44 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
“Freed.ai is changing my life. I love talking to patients, knowing I have the confidence that it will capture my information in the right order. It will provide a very coherent and abridged version. It makes it easy for you to copy and paste into your medical records. My visits are closed at such a lightning fast speed. I almost want to shed tears for my old self 20 years ago when I was learning how to do visits on an EMR.” (14:11 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
“This is something that I believe should be in every residency, every medical school, every hospital, every clinic. It is just what you need to have that confidence that you can explore and have fun with medicine again without being stuck to your keyboard like Velcro.” (15:23 | Dr. Lara Salyer)
