Dictate a quick note
No patient chart setup — just record and let the AI structure it.
Copy any section
One click for the whole note, or S / O / A / P one at a time.
Paste into your EMR
Clean plain text that drops into your system's matching fields.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Essence.
Essence is built for HIPAA compliance — encrypted data storage, audit logging, role-based access controls, and strict per-clinic data isolation — and we are executing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with every vendor in our infrastructure ahead of our clinical launch. Join the launch waitlist below to be notified when our BAA-backed clinical launch goes live.
Simply click record and speak naturally about your patient encounter. Our AI transcribes your speech in real-time, then structures it into a proper SOAP note with Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan sections. You review, make any edits, and sign.
Yes — that's how most practitioners start. Quick Notes let you dictate and generate a SOAP note without setting up a patient chart, then copy the whole note — or one S/O/A/P section at a time — as clean text into WebPT, Prompt, Jane, or whatever you chart in. Our Chrome side-panel extension (early access, available once you sign in) keeps those notes docked right beside your EMR. And when you're ready for more, Essence progressively grows into a complete EMR you can fully transition to.
You'll see a notification when approaching your limits. You can upgrade your plan at any time to get more capacity. Your existing data is never affected by plan limits — you just won't be able to create new records until you upgrade.
Absolutely. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We use enterprise-grade infrastructure with audit logging, access controls, and regular security reviews. Your patient data is isolated to your account and never shared.
Nothing is required — Essence is 100% browser-based. Just visit essence-health.com, log in, and start documenting on any modern browser, desktop, laptop, or tablet. If you chart in another EMR, there is also an optional Chrome extension (early access) that puts your Essence notes in a side panel beside it — installing takes about a minute from inside the app.
We're building Essence into a complete EMR for physical therapy. Coming soon: appointment scheduling and calendar views, multi-therapist practice support, insurance and claims management, a patient portal for intake forms and appointment booking, and reporting and analytics. Each feature is released when it's ready — quality over speed.
