How It Works
One patient. One thread. Seven moments that hand off to each other.
Follow a single course of care through Nerida. At each moment, see what the patient, the doctor and the practice team each have in front of them, and how the moment feeds the next.
- Medicine and dentistry
- Every role, its own view
- Sample situations, not real patients
The journey
A sample course of care. The situations are illustrative; the handoffs are how the platform is built to work.
-
Connect
A care relationship starts when a patient asks to connect with a doctor, or accepts a doctor’s invitation. Doctors never send connection requests; the patient always chooses.
- The patient
Accepts the invitation into their own account, or sends a request. Sees which doctor they are connected to.
- The doctor
Invites a patient, or accepts a request. The relationship is what makes the record reachable.
- The practice team
Can help send invitations when the doctor grants that permission. Sees no clinical detail.
- The patient
-
Prepare
Before the visit, the patient sets out their history at home: background, medications, specialty-specific questions, documents and measurements. It is written once and updated afterwards, not repeated.
- The patient
Answers questions that fit the specialty, in their own language and time. Adds documents. Sees what changed since last time.
- The doctor
Opens a structured history with changes since the last visit highlighted, before the patient arrives.
- The practice team
Sees that a history is complete or outstanding, never its content.
- The patient
-
Agree a time
Either side proposes a time. The other confirms, declines or counters. Nothing is booked until both agree, a doctor who declines gives a reason, and rescheduling reopens the agreement.
- The patient
Proposes or counters in their own timezone. Sees the reason if a doctor declines.
- The doctor
Sees proposals against the day. Confirms, counters or declines with a reason.
- The practice team
Manages the schedule and proposals on the doctor’s behalf, with permission, and marks arrivals.
- The patient
-
The visit
The confirmed appointment becomes a consultation. Records, the prepared history, documents, plans and safety information sit in one working view. Private working notes stay separate from what is shared.
- The patient
Sees the shared record and anything the doctor chooses to share, never the doctor’s private notes.
- The doctor
Works from one view. Keeps private notes private; sharing is an explicit, visible choice.
- The practice team
Sees the day’s list and who has arrived. The consultation itself is out of reach.
- The patient
-
The plan
The visit ends with next steps written down: a plan, tasks with owners, a referral or records request where needed, and a treatment plan the patient can review and accept or decline.
- The patient
Sees what happens next and why. Reviews a presented treatment plan and accepts or declines it.
- The doctor
Sets the plan, its check-ins and reminders. Starts referrals and requests that keep their thread.
- The practice team
Owns the operational tasks the plan creates, such as scheduling the next visit.
- The patient
-
Between visits
Check-ins happen when the plan asks for them. Reminders inform rather than nag. What the patient records reaches the right doctor, in context, and a carer can help through their own account.
- The patient
Records what the plan asks for, when it asks. Sees who has access to their care and can end it.
- The doctor
Receives what comes back, connected to the plan it belongs to, not in a separate inbox.
- The practice team
Sends confirmations and reminders operationally, without opening clinical records.
- The patient
-
What we learn
Because care was recorded in a structured way, reporting needs no export. Every report states who was counted, what may be missing and where the information came from. Research goes further, inside defined projects.
- The patient
Is never identifiable in a small group: very small counts are hidden before anyone sees them.
- The doctor
Reports over their own patients and practice patterns, with a path back to the source of every number.
- The practice team
Sees practice reporting about how the day runs, with no clinical content.
- The patient
Sample situations only. No real patient data is on the platform until clinical, legal and security review is complete.
Why the Handoffs Matter
The gaps between tools are where care gets lost
On Nerida
- The history written before the visit is the history the doctor opens.
- The agreed appointment is the one the consultation runs from.
- The plan made in the room is the plan the check-ins follow.
- The records kept during care are the records the reports count.
Across separate tools
- Intake forms are retyped into a records system.
- A booking tool does not know what happened in the room.
- Reminders live in a separate app from the plan they belong to.
- Reports start with an export and a spreadsheet.
