About Symbal
Symbal is AI-powered clinical documentation platform built specifically for wellness and aesthetic practices. It listens to your consultations and writes a structured note for you to review, so you can stay focused on your patient, not your keyboard.
Symbal is built for modern wellness and aesthetic providers: med spas, cosmetic clinics, dermatology practices, and everyone in between. Solo provider or multi-location group, Symbal fits into your existing workflow from day one.
Getting Started
Click Try for free, create an account, install the app and the Chrome extension, and record your first visit. Free for 7 days, no credit card required.
How It Works
Tap. Talk. Done. Open the Symbal app, tap the mic, and see your patient like you normally would, business as usual. When the appointment ends, tap stop. Symbal transcribes the session, generates structured clinical notes, and saves everything to the patient's timeline automatically. Then head to your browser, open your EMR, and let the Chrome extension fill every form and chart at the click of a button. No integration needed, no wasted time copy pasting or typing by hand.
SOAP notes, H&P, and custom templates, automatically structured in the format you prefer. Every note is reviewable and editable before it's finalized, and can be pushed directly into your EMR via the Chrome extension with one click.
Shortly after you end the session. You review the note before it goes anywhere.
Yes. We built Symbal for wellness and aesthetics, so the notes use the terms you use: units, sites, products, lot numbers.
Great care isn't just clinical. Symbal captures the personal details: lifestyle context, preferences, relationship notes, that help you build long-term patient loyalty. The little things that matter most, documented automatically.
Absolutely. Symbal automatically captures treatment plans, recommendations, follow-up protocols, and next steps as part of the documentation process.
Live recording during consultations and voice dictation. Document visits however works best for you. Symbal is purpose-built to capture all details, even in noisy environments.
Yes. Symbal works on your phone, tablet, or desktop. No special hardware required.
Security & Compliance
Yes. Symbal is a HIPAA business associate. A Business Associate Agreement is part of the terms you accept at signup. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in the U.S., and never used to train AI models. There is no such thing as a HIPAA certification; compliance is something we document and will show you on request.
Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest (AES-256). Role-based access so only your authorized users see your patients. U.S.-only hosting on AWS. Signed BAAs with every vendor that touches patient data: AWS, Deepgram, and OpenAI. Audio retention you control, with permanent deletion.
Integrations & Setup
Symbal is mapped and tested on Boulevard, Aesthetic Record, and PatientNow. Other browser-based EMRs run in a generic mode where the extension reads the page and fills what it finds, with a copy-paste fallback. Aesthetic Record on the iPad app uses copy-paste from the Symbal app.
Setup is an account, the app, and the Chrome extension. No setup call and no IT involvement unless your practice locks down browser extensions. If anything comes up, we are at support@symbal.co.
