Ask Brigid.

Practice management software for Irish private consultants. It prepares the admin, and nothing goes out until you say yes.

try.askbrigid.com

The window plays a recording of the sample practice in use. Asked to book Gráinne Walsh a review in six weeks, Brigid looks up the patient and the diary step by step and shows the booking; it is made only when you press Book. She prepares Gráinne’s email, which goes only when you press Send, and the diary shows the new appointment. Then Mary O’Brien agrees to the recording, the conversation is transcribed in her note as it is said, and Brigid prepares the note from it for the consultant to check and sign.

The problem

Your last patient leaves. You don’t.

Ireland is short of consultants, and the admin still lands on the ones it has. Every clinic ends with an hour of letters and billing.

Every consultation leaves with an invoice.

The invoice opens filled in from the note, and the patient pays by card from their own phone. For anything overdue, the reminder is ready; your team sends it.

The note

Look at the patient, not the keyboard.

Record the consultation with the patient’s yes, and Ask Brigid transcribes it as it is said. She prepares the note from what was said, adding nothing that was not said. You read every word and sign.

  1. Ask first, every timeAsk Brigid has you ask the patient before anything records. If they say no, nothing records and you write the note as you always have.
  2. Every word, as it is saidThe transcript builds while you talk, so there is nothing left to type up afterwards. It can mishear, so it is yours to check.
  3. Yours to read and signThe note stays marked Unreviewed until you sign it.
  4. The audio doesn’t lingerThe recording is deleted 24 hours after you accept the note, or 7 days after the consult, whichever comes first. The transcript and your signed note are the record.

The team

Made for the three people who run a practice.

Your evening is yours again.

Your last patient leaves at ten to six. Tomorrow’s list is set, the results are on the right charts and every consultation has its invoice.

What still needs you is in one list. Then you go home.

The rule

What Clinical Intelligence deliberately doesn’t do.

Clinical Intelligence runs the clinic.
Clinicians run the medicine.

It never sends anything on its own

Bookings, letters, emails and invoices wait for a person to press the button.

It never makes a clinical decision

It does not diagnose, interpret results, advise on treatment or triage patients. That stays with you.

Your records stay in Dublin

Primary records are hosted in AWS Dublin (eu-west-1). You can take them out any day you like.

It is built on AI, and we say so

Clinical Intelligence is built on AI systems. We name them, and where they run, on our compliance page.

The move

We do the moving. You say when.

The move is ours to do, and the date is yours to set. Record migration is included on every plan.

Questions

The sample practice answers most of these in a few minutes, with no sign-up.

What is Brigid Clinical Intelligence?

The assistant built into Ask Brigid. It is built on AI systems, and our compliance page names them and where they run. It prepares administrative work such as bookings, the inbox and invoices, and a person at the practice checks everything it prepares.

Does anything go out without me?

No. Bookings, letters, emails and invoices wait for someone at the practice to press the button.

Does it make clinical decisions?

No. Ask Brigid is practice management software. It is not intended to diagnose, prevent, monitor, predict, prognose, treat or alleviate disease. Clinicians run the medicine.

Where is our data held?

Primary records are hosted in AWS Dublin (eu-west-1). You get a signed Data Processing Agreement and help with your DPIA. The database is backed up daily, with eight backups kept in the EU. We never sell your patients’ data, use it for advertising or use it to train our own AI models; each outside AI service, and what it may do with data, is on our sub-processors page. We hold no certifications today, and we’ll send you the full evidence pack, including what we don’t hold, before you sign anything.

Can we move from the system we use now?

Yes. We map your records out of HealthOne, Socrates or iMedDoc, or out of the spreadsheet and the paper chart, rehearse the move, and set it up with your secretary. Nothing goes live until you have checked it. Record migration is included on every plan.

Does it connect to Healthmail?

No. Healthmail is switched off, so referrals go through the channel you use now. On every plan, your clinic’s Gmail or Outlook mailbox and your Google or Outlook calendar connect.

What if something goes wrong?

Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 Irish time, from the report button in the app or at support@askbrigid.com. We aim to answer an urgent problem within 15 working minutes. Live status is on our status page.

Can we leave?

Yes. Plans are monthly. Cancel any time in Settings, then Billing, and the plan ends at the close of the period you have paid for. Your full export is free, whenever you ask.

Who is behind Ask Brigid?

DJG Media Limited, an Irish company (CRO 762838) in Dalkey, County Dublin. David Galvin, the founder, reads every message.

What does it cost?

€129 or €299 a month before VAT, per practice, with every seat included on every plan. The price on your first order is your price for three years.

Can I try it without talking to anyone?

Yes. The sample practice is the real app with invented patients. It is open to anyone and needs no sign-up.

Ask Brigid. Stay a doctor.

Open the sample practice and see a whole day working. Invented patients, no sign-up.
