Lyrebird AI Medical Scribe

Lyrebird Health is a Melbourne-based company co-founded by Kai Van Lieshout and Linus Talacko; its platform was developed in early 2023. It targets the time GPs, specialists and hospital clinicians spend writing notes, letters and forms after each consultation.

The web-based scribe listens during in-person, phone or video consultations and produces a note in the clinician's own style, then drafts referrals, summaries, certificates and complex government forms. It learns from edits and example letters, summarises medications and history, sorts incoming documents and integrates with Best Practice, Genie/Gentu and FHIR-based systems. Data for Australian users is processed and stored onshore.

• Ambient scribe: generates a note in the clinician's style in under 20 seconds without storing audio.
• Letters and documents: drafts referrals, summaries, certificates and reports, with a dictation mode.
• Complex forms: fills care plans, mental health plans and insurance or disability forms.
• Patient summary: compiles medications, allergies and history before the consultation.
• Document sorter: classifies incoming documents and supports authority scripts.
• EMR integration: works inside Best Practice and Genie/Gentu, with FHIR and copy-paste for other systems.

International clinics in Vietnam serving English-speaking patients could use the scribe for consultation notes and referral letters. Hospital outpatient departments could pilot it to increase throughput, as at Gold Coast Health. Local EMR vendors could study partnership or integration models similar to the Best Practice and Gentu integrations.

Reduces post-consultation documentation time by up to 80% for some clinicians, according to the website. 88% of surveyed clinicians reported better note quality and 84% better workflow efficiency. Saves 6-8 minutes per consultation, per the company. Gold Coast Health reported a 22% increase in outpatient throughput.

Ambient AI scribes are moving from pilots to hospital-wide use as clinician shortages and burnout rise. Asia-Pacific health systems, including Vietnam, face growing outpatient volumes and new electronic record requirements, which increase interest in tools that lower documentation time without changing the core EMR.
