Is this the right workflow for you?
For Clinicians
Best for providers who perform respiratory exams and need to document findings without manual typing.
Practical Guidance
Get a clear breakdown of required lung exam elements, from chest expansion to adventitious sounds.
Instant Drafting
Move from a physical exam to a finalized note by recording the encounter in Aduvera.
See how Aduvera turns a recorded visit into a transcript-backed draft you can review before charting around lung physical exam documentation.
High-Fidelity Respiratory Documentation
Ensure every breath sound and percussion note is captured and verifiable.
Transcript-Backed Findings
Verify that specific mentions of wheezing, rales, or rhonchi are mapped correctly to the note via per-segment citations.
Structured Exam Layouts
Automatically organize findings into standard formats like SOAP or H&P, separating inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation.
EHR-Ready Output
Generate a clean, professional summary of the lung exam that can be copied directly into your EHR system.
From Physical Exam to Final Note
Turn your clinical observations into a structured record in three steps.
Record the Encounter
Use the web app to record the patient visit, including your verbalized findings during the lung exam.
Review the AI Draft
Check the generated respiratory section against the transcript to ensure fidelity of the auscultation findings.
Finalize and Paste
Confirm the accuracy of the lung exam documentation and copy the structured text into the patient's chart.
Standards for Lung Physical Exam Documentation
Strong lung physical exam documentation should explicitly detail the results of inspection (e.g., respiratory effort, chest symmetry), palpation (e.g., tactile fremitus), percussion (e.g., resonance vs. dullness), and auscultation. For auscultation, notes must specify the location and timing of sounds, such as 'bilateral inspiratory crackles at the bases' or 'expiratory wheezing in the upper lobes,' rather than using vague terms like 'lungs clear.'
Aduvera replaces the need to recall these specific details from memory at the end of a shift. By recording the encounter, the AI captures the clinician's real-time observations and organizes them into a structured draft. This allows the provider to focus on the patient's breathing patterns and sounds, knowing they can later verify the exact wording of the exam findings through transcript-backed citations before finalizing the note.

Common Questions on Lung Exam Documentation
Transcript-backed documentation, clinician review, and EHR-ready note output are built into every workflow.
Can I use specific respiratory terminology in my AI-generated notes?
Yes, the AI captures the clinical language you use during the encounter, such as 'stridor' or 'pleural friction rub,' and places it in the structured note.
How do I ensure the AI didn't miss a specific lung sound I mentioned?
You can use the transcript-backed source context to review the exact moment you mentioned a finding and verify it appears in the draft.
Can Aduvera format lung exam findings into a SOAP note?
Yes, the app supports SOAP, H&P, and APSO styles, placing lung exam findings within the Objective section of the note.
Is the app secure for recording patient exams?
Yes, the app supports security-first clinical documentation workflows to ensure patient data is handled according to regulatory standards.
