For Emergency Departments

Hours in the waiting room.
Zero context for the doctor.

The ER waiting room is your most underused clinical asset.

Collect a structured pre-anamnesis so by the time the doctor calls the patient in, the history is already there — translated, organised, and ready for the EHR.

Manual questioning

Reading a structured pre-anamnesis

24s

100 words at the average clinician reading speed

Every consultation. Every shift. The same 50%+ reduction in time spent gathering history that you can spend on the assessment instead.

For patients

A structured way for patients to describe their problem, before they're called in.

After triage, lower-acuity patients open the link on their own phone via QR code — in any language. Doctor-validated questionnaires ask the right questions, gather the relevant symptom history, and hand the doctor a clear, documented summary with red flags surfaced.

  1. 01

    Patient describes their concern

    Free-text input in their preferred language. AI detects the chief complaint from what they wrote.

  2. 02

    System asks the right follow-up questions

    Adaptive questionnaires gather missing symptom history and clinical context, with red-flag checks built in from real triage guidelines.

  3. 03

    Doctor receives a structured pre-anamnesis

    Translated to the doctor's language, organised by complaint, ready to copy into the EHR.

Describe your concern

Prioritize your symptoms

We detected multiple concerns. Which one is the most urgent?

Abdominal pain
Indigestion
Follow-up questions

Does the pain spread anywhere else?

Yes, to my back
No, it stays in the stomach
I am not sure

Review & Send

"I’ve had stomach pain for a while. It comes and goes, sometimes feels stronger after eating. Not sure exactly where it hurts"

Additionally captured info:

The pain is mostly in my upper stomach. I haven't had a fever or any nausea. It started about two weeks ago and usually happens right after I eat. It lasts for maybe an hour then fades away.

What changes for the doctor

Same patient. Different consultation.

Without Certific

  • Doctor opens the chart and sees only the triage note.
  • Asks the same 8 to 12 baseline questions, every time.
  • Types while listening — eyes on the screen, not the patient.
  • Loses 2 to 4 minutes finding a translator for foreign-language patients.
  • Documentation is short, fragmented, written under time pressure.

With Certific

  • Doctor opens the chart and sees a complete, structured pre-anamnesis.
  • Reads in 24 seconds, organised by complaint with red flags surfaced.
  • Translates to the working language with one click.
  • Edits, summarises, copies into the EHR.
  • Documentation is complete before the consultation starts.

What the doctor opens

The history is already there.

Search the patient by name. The pre-anamnesis is structured, translated to your language, and ready to add to the EHR.
