Specialties
Specialty personalises. It never restricts.
Every doctor on Nerida gets every tool. A doctor’s specialties decide what comes first: which history questions a patient is asked, which forms are suggested, how a report is grouped. They never decide what a doctor is allowed to open.
What this gives you
- Begin with questions that fit the specialty from the first step.
- Combine several specialties, or work from a general category.
- Use one coherent catalogue across medicine and dentistry.
How specialty works on the platform
- Personalisation, not permission
- Access is decided by role, care relationship and explicit permission. Specialty only orders and recommends.
- Several at once
- A doctor may hold several specialties, or work under a general category. Nothing forces a single label.
- Patient-side questions follow
- The history a patient prepares asks the questions that matter for the doctor’s specialties, in the patient’s own language.
- Titles are displayed, not gatekept
- What a doctor may call themselves follows the rules of their registration. What they may use on Nerida does not depend on it.
- Families of content
- Specialties map onto families of history questions, forms and reporting. Related specialties share a family instead of duplicating it.
- Reviewed before live use
- Clinical content is authored with review in mind and undergoes qualified professional review before real patient use.
Two Professions, One Catalogue
Built from the specialty registers doctors already recognise
The catalogue is assembled from the official specialty lists of several countries and kept jurisdiction-neutral: it never claims that one country’s title equals another’s. Below are examples of the content families in the current web build.
Medicine
Physician families in the current build, with more added as design partners bring their specialties.
- Women’s health
- Paediatrics
- Internal medicine
- Surgery
- Pathology and laboratory medicine
Dentistry
Dental families include tooth-by-tooth charting within the dental history.
- General dental care
- Restorative and endodontic
- Periodontal
- Oral and maxillofacial surgery
- Paediatric dentistry
- Dental radiology
Focus areas such as implants, sedation or geriatric care are treated as tags on a doctor’s profile, not as separate specialties.
One Example
The same history, shaped for the doctor who will read it
A patient preparing for a periodontist is asked about gum bleeding, previous periodontal treatment and smoking. The same patient preparing for a cardiologist is asked about blood pressure, chest symptoms and medications. Both answers sit in one history that belongs to the patient.
Nothing is asked twice if it is already known. What changed since the last visit is highlighted for the doctor.
- MedicationsUpdated last month
- Gum bleeding when brushingMost daysnew
- Previous periodontal treatmentScaling, two years ago
- SmokingStopped, 3 years
Specialty content is a set of questions, forms and groupings. Any rule about what a patient’s answers mean is written by the treating doctor for their own patients, never shipped by Nerida.
