Pull structured data out of an old paper chart as you digitise it.

What it is

As an old paper chart is digitised, the diagnoses, medicines and key dates on it are pulled out into structured fields against the patient’s electronic record, rather than the chart just becoming a scanned image nobody can search — so a decade of paper history becomes something the clinical system can actually use.

How it works

The usual shape of a queue & board app. AbstractDesk’s own steps are written from its screen when it ships.

  1. It arrivesA new item lands on the board — from a booking, a referral or a colleague.
  2. Work itAssign it, move it along, see who is waiting and for how long.
  3. Close itDone items leave the board and stay in the record.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not read or interpret the handwriting automatically — a person reads the chart and enters what it says; the app is where that structured entry happens against the patient’s record.
