Pediatrics isn’t like other specialties. 

As Dr. Emily Zies put it, “You’re not just documenting one patient — you’re managing a whole family’s story in a single visit.”

A single appointment can balance parents, siblings, immunization schedules, developmental milestones, and the curveballs that come with caring for kids.

And that complexity doesn’t end when the clinic closes. Something has to give. Usually, it’s your evening.

Freed was built to change that.

The documentation load in pediatrics 

"When you're taking a history for one patient, the parent chimes in and gives you information about the siblings. You have to mentally sort out: who is this information about? What's relevant to the current patient versus the next appointment in fifteen minutes?" — Dr. Emily Zies

At any time, you might be juggling: 

• Multiple speakers: Histories get mixed and details are vague. 
• Sibling visits: You need to bounce back and forth in real time. 
• Developmental tracking: Structured, age-specific documentation
• Growth percentiles: Longitudinal data integrity matters
• Interpreter workflows: redundant, time-consuming, and prone to gaps

“Freed works great even in noisy environments, like hallways with kids crying in the background. It’s highly accurate in both English and Spanish—I speak to many of my patients in Spanish, and Freed listens, transcribes, and translates my notes into English, which is incredible..” — Dr. Liz F., Emergency Pediatric Physician

More presence in the room 

Presence is everything in pediatrics. 

You need to hear what parents are saying, notice what children aren’t saying, and stay engaged while examining infants, redirecting toddlers, or connecting with adolescents.

Dr. Zies put it simply: “Instead of worrying about capturing it all, you can just let the conversation happen naturally.”

Freed’s ambient listening lets pediatricians:

• Watch a toddler’s gait instead of typing it
• Make eye contact with anxious parents 
• Read a teen’s body language during sensitive conversations
• Catch developmental red flags in real time

“It is a challenge to see a large volume of patients without drowning in charting after hours or keeping your head buried in a laptop during appointments. This product allows me to instead engage my patients and focus on my examination rather than charting. It produces a fantastic quality note in the time it takes me to send off prescriptions.” - Katharine Quinn, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

Why pediatricians choose Freed over other AI scribes

Across thousands of pediatric users, five themes emerge again and again.

1. Unmatched note quality designed for peds

Freed trains the latest frontier AI models on the most up-to-date pediatric knowledge. So your notes will automatically match pediatric styles and terms — all you have to do is review. 

Freed is designed to handle:

• Overlapping or rapid-fire dialogue from parents, kids, caregivers, and siblings
• Interpreter-supported visits, where information comes through multiple languages 
• Family-provided history that needs to be preserved
  Age-specific details, including milestones, screenings, growth measurements, and immunization history

2. Effortless from day one

You shouldn’t need hours of training to use a tool. The best AI scribes are designed to save you time — without the extra work. You can:

• Sign up and capture your first visit in minutes
• Switch across devices to record, review, and push your note 
• Make edits to train Freed on your style and preferences 
• Access 24/7 white-glove support 

4. Responsive, human support

Pediatricians tell us they want fast, real answers.

Freed’s US-based support team understands clinical workflow and can help clinicians personalize notes, troubleshoot audio setups, or adjust template preferences quickly.

This matters for small clinics where every minute of downtime disrupts the day.

5. Optimized for small and midsized pediatric practices

Most pediatric groups in the US are small. And Freed’s pricing, setup model, and workflow features are built for exactly that. 

Pediatricians get:

• Affordable pricing
• Zero-friction onboarding
• One-click EHR workflows
• Templates that scale across clinicians
• Features like Learn format and Magic edit that learn your style and preferences

It’s the first AI scribe aligned to how pediatric practices actually run.

The pediatric features clinicians rely on most

We asked pediatricians which features made their day. Here are some of their favorites. 

Templates created by real pediatricians 

Try ready-to-use templates for your most common workflows, like: 

• Well-child check templates that separate developmental and preventive care sections 
• Sick visit formats capturing symptoms across multiple organ systems
• Structured areas for developmental milestones, immunization schedules, and growth tracking

Each template is designed and tested by practicing pediatricians 

Learn format: notes that sound like your pediatric chart

Pediatricians often have their own style. You might like short phrases, detailed development sections, or specific anticipatory guidance wording.

Freed learns that style with one click and applies it across future notes. Your notes will sound like you, not a robot.

Magic edit: wide-sweeping changes in seconds

Pediatric visits deal in the details. Freed’s Magic Edit lets you make wide-reaching changes instantly using simple commands 

Whether you’re tightening details, changing names, or updating sections, Magic edit lets clinicians make broad changes instantly 

This cuts manual editing and saves minutes on every note.

Smart visit prep: walk into each visit prepared

Pediatric visits often shift quickly. A well-child check might become a conversation about sleep regression, and that’s all before their sibling enters the room.

Smart Visit Prep helps clinicians stay ahead of that complexity by automatically highlighting patient details before you walk into the room:

• Past history
• Follow-ups
• Screening needs
• Key reminders
• Recent medications or changes

It’s the quick mental load check you’d normally have to piece together from past notes — summarized automatically. 

One-click EHR push via Chrome extension

Many pediatric clinics use lightweight, browser-based EHRs. You need a workflow that keeps up with a fast-moving schedule of short visits, sick slots, and last-minute add-ons.

With EHR push, you can send notes directly to your chart with a single click. It’s a quick and flexible workflow that fits the pace of pediatric care. 

What all of this means for pediatricians

Pediatricians tell us they want:

• More presence with families
• Less second-guessing about documentation accuracy
• Notes they don’t have to rebuild at night
• A workflow that gives them their evenings back

When documentation happens automatically during the clinical encounter — capturing parent concerns, developmental observations, growth measurements, sibling information — you don't need hours to reconstruct it all.

You get to close your laptop earlier. You get to be more present with your patients.

Most importantly? You get to feel like yourself again.

And that’s why pediatricians love Freed.
