About Elera
The free AI medical scribe built for primary care
Elera provides free AI ambient scribing and automated referral coordination to primary care physicians. Every feature. No cost. No catch.
What Elera is
Elera is an AI platform for primary care physicians with two core capabilities: a real-time ambient scribe that generates complete SOAP notes during patient encounters, and an AI referral coordinator that automatically detects and manages specialist referral workflows.
Both capabilities are completely free for all healthcare providers — not a free trial, not a freemium tier. Elera is funded by its referral coordination network, which aligns the platform's commercial interests with physician workflow efficiency.
Elera is used by physicians across primary care, internal medicine, family medicine, cardiology, orthopedics, psychiatry, OB/GYN, pediatrics, dermatology, and more.

How Elera works
Physicians open Elera on any device before a patient encounter. The AI listens in real time using the device's microphone — no special hardware, no installation, no configuration. As the physician and patient speak, Elera transcribes and structures the conversation into a clinical SOAP note.
The generated note includes Chief Complaint, History of Present Illness, Review of Systems, Objective findings, Assessment with ICD-10 diagnosis codes, and Plan. The physician reviews the note — typically in 60–90 seconds — and copies it to their EHR.
Simultaneously, Elera monitors the encounter for referral intent. When it detects language indicating a specialist referral, it creates a referral task and initiates automated patient outreach — without any additional input from the physician or staff.
How Elera compares to alternatives
The AI medical scribe market includes tools like Freed ($99/month), Heidi Health (free tier with session limits), and DeepScribe (enterprise pricing). Elera is the only tool in this category that is completely free with no usage caps, while also offering referral coordination capabilities that no competitor provides.
