Pieces Technologies Inc., a healthcare AI company known for its innovations in clinical reasoning, has launched a new mobile tool designed to make documentation easier for inpatient doctors. The tool, called “Pieces in Your Pocket,” works like a smart personal assistant that helps doctors create accurate progress notes by simply talking into their mobile phones. With just 30 to 45 seconds of input, the system creates a detailed note directly into the hospital’s electronic medical record system. It uses the doctor’s past notes, writing style, and patient-specific information to make the note complete and accurate.
This new method is different from traditional tools that require recording the whole patient visit. Instead, Pieces in Your Pocket focuses on short, focused conversations that better fit into a doctor’s busy schedule. It improves the speed and quality of documentation and moves away from just transcribing speech into a more intelligent, understanding system. This change makes it easier and more natural for doctors to manage their clinical records.

“We’re creating the first AI clinical assistant that really understands how doctors think about patient care,” said Dr. Ruben Amarasingham, CEO and founder of Pieces Technologies. “Instead of speaking to a machine, doctors can have meaningful conversations with the tool about their patients in quick, helpful interactions.” The tool uses Pieces’ own comprehension engine and large language models along with voice input and personalized feedback. This creates a two-way conversation instead of just recording words.

Pieces in Your Pocket builds on the company’s success in creating over 10 million clinical summaries across different hospital settings, including large academic hospitals, pediatric hospitals, and safety-net institutions. Josh Grob, Vice President of Engineering at Pieces, explained the unique strategy. “What’s different about our approach is that Pieces doesn’t record entire patient visits,” he said. “We believe shorter, meaningful interactions are more effective in today’s fast-paced and complex healthcare environment.”
The tool also includes advanced clinical intelligence features. It helps doctors spot new developments since the last progress note, which prevents mistakes from copying old information. It offers real-time advice on improving documentation, flags inconsistencies, and provides alerts to help clinicians keep records accurate. Doctors can ask about a patient’s medical history using voice commands, and the assistant replies with relevant information from the full electronic health record. By turning short voice recordings into complete progress notes, Pieces in Your Pocket helps doctors handle documentation quickly and accurately, whether they’re at the bedside or on the move—offering a practical and powerful way to improve patient care.
