Althea Smart EHR: charting, the way you chart.
Althea Smart EHR gives physicians six ways to document a visit: dictation by Nuance, macros, templates, Copy from prior visits, Favorites, and iOS swipe gestures, all in one unified chart. Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and any modern browser.
Charting, the way you chart.
Dictation, macros, templates, typing. Mix and match within the same note. Switch input methods mid-sentence without losing your place. One unified chart, six ways in.
Fully functional on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and any modern browser, not read-only views. Chart at the desk, at the bedside, or between visits on the phone in your pocket. Same EHR, any device.
Swipe left on any list item (patient, note, lab result) to reveal Sign, Favorite, Copy, and more. The same gestures you already use in Mail and Messages.
Six tools. One unified chart.
sometimes you tap a macro, sometimes you start from a template and edit.
Althea Smart EHR supports every path, and lets you switch between them
without losing your place.
Dictate the chart. Powered by Nuance.
- Clinical vocabulary built in. Drug names, ICD-10 terminology, anatomy, all recognized out of the box.
- Accent-friendly. Trained on thousands of clinician voices, with no "training" phase for new users.
- Voice commands. Say "new paragraph," "insert macro dot hypertension," or "sign note."
Type a shortcut. Get a paragraph.
- One sentence or ten paragraphs. Macros expand to exactly what you built, with no length limit.
- Per-provider libraries. Every physician keeps their own. Share or import from colleagues.
- Dictate-to-insert. Say "insert macro dot hypertension" mid-dictation, and it drops in.
Start from a template. Edit in place.
- Specialty-tuned defaults. IM, cardiology, psych, pain management, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and derm are all supported.
- Build your own. Per-visit-type templates, customized to how your practice documents.
- Share across the practice. Standardize on the templates that work, or let each provider keep their own.
Pull from the past. Edit, don't rewrite.
- Section-level copy. Pull just the HPI or just the exam, not the whole note if you don't want to.
- Merge from multiple visits. Combine documentation for complex follow-ups into a single chart.
- Favorites, synced everywhere. Your starred items follow you from iPhone to iPad to desktop.
Swipe to sign. Swipe to favorite.
- Works on every list. Encounters, inbox, tasks, results, prescriptions, anywhere rows appear.
- Instantly familiar. The iOS swipe-to-action pattern is already in muscle memory. No training required.
- Full parity across platforms. Same gestures on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and every modern browser.

Copy pulls forward documentation from a prior visit so you can edit instead of rewrite. Favorites star your most-used templates, macros, medications, and order sets, all synced across the three platforms for instant access.
