What happens when a clinician gets frustrated with the technology that's supposed to save time?

In this episode of MedTech Decoded, Sarah-Jane Walls takes you behind the scenes of Charlie Clinical, the AI-powered clinical assistant she built after 18 months of using existing documentation tools in practice.

Designed specifically for physiotherapists, podiatrists, sports therapists and MSK clinicians, Charlie Clinical combines consultation transcription, clinical decision support, automated report generation, rehabilitation planning and prescription request workflows into one intuitive platform.

SJ shares the real-world frustrations that led to its development, including endless copying and pasting, rising software costs, and disconnected systems that slow clinicians down rather than support them.

Inside this episode you'll discover:

• Why existing AI note-taking tools weren't enough
• How Charlie Clinical integrates NICE guidelines, NHS MSK pathways and BNF medication references
• The role of AI in supporting (not replacing) clinical decision-making
• Automated patient letters, GP referrals and treatment notes
• Simple rehabilitation handouts generated directly from clinical consultations
• Prescription request workflows for allied health professionals
• Direct integration with Cliniko and future plans for wider practice management software support
• Opportunities to become one of the first Charlie Clinical beta testers

If you're a healthcare professional drowning in paperwork and looking for practical ways to use AI in clinical practice, this episode offers a glimpse into what the future of healthcare documentation could look like.

Welcome to MedTech Decoded. This podcast I created as a clinician myself and also owning a consultancy for the last 10 years, helping medical practises throughout mainly the UK implement systems, smart systems, and automation into their businesses. We talk about AI, we talk about coding, we talk about CRM systems, booking systems, and more. This is the podcast for those in the wellness and medical profession who want to start to implement AI into their business.

In this episode of MedTech Decoded, SJ Walls is joined by Jo from She is Beauty, a beauty and wellness salon in Giffnock, Glasgow.

Jo shares how she moved from paper diaries and phone calls to online booking, business WhatsApp, automation and AI-supported systems. We talk about what it really feels like to bring tech into a service business, why AI does not have to make things impersonal, and how beauty, wellness and clinic owners can start using better systems one step at a time.
