A private AI medical scribe for New Zealand clinicians.
It shows you exactly what it heard, flags anything it isn't sure of, and drafts the note for you to confirm. Processed and stored in Australia — across the Tasman, and nowhere further without your explicit acceptance for that session. Audio is deleted by default.
A documentation aid, not a diagnostic or decision-support tool.

It tells you when it's not sure.
Most AI scribes hand you a confident, fluent note — and a confident error is the one you sign without noticing. Akoua flags what it isn't sure it heard and what it couldn't place cleanly, so your attention goes straight to the few spots that need it.
"Not sure I heard this." A dotted underline — tap to listen back to that moment.
"Heard it, couldn't place it." A highlighted block with a review tag — re-read and settle it.
[not stated] — anything absent is marked, never invented. Safety-critical gaps are flagged, not silently dropped.
Only what was said.

Private by design. Australian, end to end.
On AU Sovereign, everything stays in Australia: transcription and note drafting run on vetted Australian services over private links inside Akoua’s cloud — disclosed on every note, under the consent your organisation gives for that processing. Ordinary consent to record is a separate authority, given for each consultation. Who’s speaking is recognised only on Akoua’s own infrastructure, and nothing is processed outside Australia without a separate, explicit request for that specific session. Audio is deleted by default and clinical data is never used to train models. Each promise is a live check the patient can watch in the room — not a line in a policy.
By default, gone the moment you confirm. Your patient can watch it happen.

An illustration of the patient view. In the room it runs live, and updates as each check resolves.
Audio stays encrypted only while you review. By default it's deleted the moment you confirm the note, and always within 7 days, automatically. The patient gets a QR deletion receipt they can re-scan to see it confirmed.
The note drafts itself from only what was said. Anything absent is marked [not stated], never invented — and nothing is saved or exported until you confirm it.
A patient-facing privacy view runs live checks — encryption, residency, deletion, audit — in the room, during the consult. Every access is written to an append-only audit log.
Built for the way New Zealand practices actually run.
The web app, Windows and Mac desktop apps, iPhone and Apple Watch app, and Android app are all published. Clinical access is open in Australia and New Zealand, and one subscription covers every device.
From Kaitāia to Bluff, it runs in the browser on whatever the practice already owns — nothing to install on the practice network, and no IT project to schedule.
Built for allied health too — physiotherapy, chiropractic, podiatry and psychology as much as general practice. The loop is the same whatever you practise: it listens, drafts, and waits for you to confirm. The clinical tuning underneath it is Australian and GP-shaped today, and there are no discipline-specific note or letter formats yet — we'd rather say so than imply tuning we haven't built.

The essentials, honestly answered.
Audio is deleted by default — kept encrypted only while you review and deleted the moment you confirm the note; a practice can instead set immediate deletion or a short fixed retention window, and every mode sits under a hard 7-day ceiling.

No. Akoua is a documentation aid, not a diagnostic or decision-support tool. It records what was said and never invents clinical content — anything not stated is marked [not stated], and you confirm every note before it is saved or exported.
It surfaces uncertainty instead of hiding it: anything it wasn't sure it heard or couldn't place cleanly is flagged for your eye, and every note statement is grounded to the transcript. And its privacy is verifiable — live patient-facing checks and a QR deletion receipt, not just a policy PDF. Its clinical tuning is Australian today — PBS/AMH drug vocabulary and RACGP-aware letters; MBS billing hints are Australian-only, so New Zealand organisations don't see them — and we'd rather say that plainly than imply NZ-specific tuning that isn't built yet.

Not in New Zealand yet. Cliniko is connected for Australian practices and enabled for the United Kingdom deployment; Nookal is currently disabled; neither is available to New Zealand organisations. Notes and letters export as clean text and PDF you paste or attach, and we’ll say “integrated” only when it actually is.
