Dr Emmanuel Egberuare and Emmanuel Adetunji
Two Nigerian doctors, Emmanuel Egberuare and Emmanuel Adetunji, have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool aimed at reducing the administrative workload on healthcare providers and giving them more time to focus on patients.
The tool, called Precision Note, was unveiled at the 47th International Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners in Abeokuta. Its tagline, “Chart Smarter, Care Better,” reflects its mission to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship by easing the burden of medical record-keeping.
For many physicians, hours spent filling out charts and patient records eat into valuable time that could otherwise be devoted to direct care. Both Dr. Egberuare and Dr. Adetunji have experienced this challenge firsthand, and it inspired them to create a solution designed by doctors, for doctors.
“We built Precision Note after listening closely to what healthcare providers truly need: a faster, smarter, and easier way to document patient interactions,” Dr. Egberuare explained. “Our goal is to restore valuable time to clinicians, improve documentation accuracy, and elevate the overall patient experience.”
Precision Note integrates real-time voice recognition, medical intelligence, and workflow automation, providing doctors with the ability to instantly generate accurate clinical notes while reducing the fatigue that comes with paperwork.
According to the co-founders, the idea was borne out of their own experiences as clinicians facing heavy documentation demands.
“We built Precision Note after listening closely to what healthcare providers truly need: a faster, smarter, and easier way to document patient interactions,” said Dr. Egberuare at the unveiling. “Our goal is to restore valuable time to clinicians, improve documentation accuracy, and elevate the overall patient experience.”
One of the biggest issues facing doctors worldwide is burnout—a problem often linked to long hours spent on paperwork. Precision Note directly addresses this by using real-time voice recognition and medical intelligence to transcribe patient consultations into structured clinical notes within seconds.
Dr. Adetunji noted that the tool can help doctors complete their records up to 70 percent faster than traditional methods.
“This means more time for patients and less time staring at a screen,” he said. “By reducing administrative load, we’re helping tackle physician burnout, which is a serious concern in today’s healthcare system.”
By freeing doctors from repetitive data entry, the platform enables more meaningful conversations during consultations, ensuring patients feel heard and understood.
Beyond saving time, the app is built to strengthen trust and communication in the consultation room. Doctors can give patients their full attention without being distracted by note-taking, while still ensuring that accurate, compliant records are produced instantly.
“Precision Note was designed with the patient in mind as much as the clinician,” the founders said. “When doctors spend less time on paperwork, patients get more personalized care.”
The platform also offers customizable templates for different specialties and integrates with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems to prevent double entry. Importantly, it complies with both local and international data privacy laws, including Nigeria’s Data Protection Commission (NDPC) guidelines and the U.S. HIPAA regulation.
Currently available in Nigeria and other African markets, Precision Note is offered through multiple pricing options—including monthly subscriptions, pay-per-use plans, and enterprise packages for hospitals and health systems.
Early adopters are being welcomed through pilot programs and custom integration support, with live demonstrations, expert panels, and virtual events forming part of the company’s rollout strategy.
Looking to the future, the developers plan to introduce a multilingual feature that will automatically interpret laboratory and imaging results in local languages. This upgrade, they said, will help patients better understand their health information and bridge communication gaps in diverse communities.
Industry observers say Precision Note could set a new benchmark for clinical documentation in Africa, particularly as healthcare systems across the continent grapple with limited manpower and the increasing demand for quality patient care.
For the co-founders, however, the mission remains simple:
“To free doctors from paperwork fatigue and restore the human connection at the heart of medicine.”
