Functional and integrative medicine look at whole systems. Every symptom is a clue in an interconnected story. 

You might shift from sleep architecture to toxic exposures — or relate day‑to‑day stress to trauma history.

How do you put all of that in one note? 

Trying to capture the breadth of your treatment in a standard format can strip out the storytelling that makes up the work. 

A generic AI scribe just won’t do. 

Freed features that boost functional and integrative medicine

“I get to go home to my family earlier each night, thanks to Freed... and the patients get face-to-face contact with me.” – Dr. Dave A. James, Naturopathic Physician

Your chart looks different from day-to-day — even patient to patient. Conventional templates don’t cut it. 

Freed goes beyond transcription, digging into the web of causality and phase-based adjustments that define your work.

Here’s why Freed is the best AI scribe for functional and integrative medicine. 

Visit prep and patient context 

Every second counts. That includes before the visit

Freed’s visit prep automatically surfaces what matters before each appointment:

• A summary of the patient’s visit history 
• Medication and supplement dosages 
• Top insights from past visits 
• Procedural details 
• AI chat assistant to ask questions and pull ICD-10 codes 

Walk into every appointment with complete context, even with page-long notes and complex treatment plans. 

Notes also carry over patient context from past visits into new notes — so you can watch trends, track changes, and adjust treatment automatically. 

Capture multi-hour intakes and visits

You’re no stranger to hours-long visits. Honor the natural flow of the conversation without worrying about your notes. 

Freed captures visits up to 3 hours without audio quality degradation or time limits.

Record entire initial consultations and follow-up visits. Then, let Freed organize notes that reflect the nuances and progress of your care. 

Notes that map to functional and integrative thinking

Our models are trained on integrative, systems-based medical frameworks and longitudinal documentation styles. That’s a note quality that you’ll notice from day one. 

Use a learned template to train Freed on your writing preferences as you go. This will ensure that each note includes the right:

• Protocol documentation
• Multi-system organization
• Root cause rationale 
• Patient education

… so you can quickly review and ship. 

"This software seamlessly converts patient-physician conversations into comprehensive medical notes. The time-saving capabilities cannot be overstated—it liberates physicians from the burden of manual note-taking, allowing us to devote more time and attention to our patients." — Dr. Siva, Internal Medicine Clinician

Template flexibility 

There are two template types in Freed. Both are as customizable as your practice.

• Learned templates — adapt to your edits over time
• Structured templates — with different sections for visit types and preferred note formats 

Choose from ready-made templates designed for integrative medicine, or build your own. Either way, you’re getting a customizable template designed with the help of real clinicians.

Prompted edits to instantly adjust notes 

When documenting multi-system interventions, you might need to make sweeping changes. Use simple commands to modify your entire note with prompted edits. 

Say something like: 

"Organize supplement recommendations by body system"
"Add dosing schedule to all botanical protocols"
"Move timeline information to HPI"

10 minutes of manual editing happens in seconds.

Transcript access for complex cases

Every visit includes a complete, timestamped transcript. Reference exactly what a patient said about symptom timing or previous interventions. 

Patient letters for complex protocols

Your patients leave with detailed, multi-phase protocols. Freed automatically generates clear, plain-language summaries explaining:

• Medication, supplement, and botanical protocols (what, when, why, how)
• Dietary and lifestyle interventions
• Testing plans and follow-up timing
• What to monitor and when to reach out

These instructions translate your clinical language into layman’s terms — saving you time while helping patients follow through. 

“That beautiful note the patient gets… they understand everything and they know what do to next.” — Dr. Roxanne Pero, Functional Medicine

Case study: An integrative medicine doctor's Freed story

After 38 years in practice, Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf spent 2-3+ hours each night organizing protocols and writing notes. 

"I'd spend hours composing notes from memory, piecing together scribbled reminders just to recreate the visit,"

Each consultation earned 45+ minutes of extra work. From charting to recommendation lists — sometimes with 72 recommendations for a single patient. 

Then she tried Freed. Now she’s able to: 

• Record entire consultations — even new patient visits that run 2-3 hours. 
• Automatically capture and organize multi-system recommendations 
• Get a jump-start on her notes by inputting relevant info, pausing, then restarting during the visit 
• Leave work earlier with complete, organized charts 

“You're saving my life. I used to think about quitting all the time because it's so overwhelming. Freed has been an amazing help." — Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf, Integrative Medicine
