Patient privacy is crucial

Privacy and security is the number one priority at Lyrebird, and we have built this into every aspect of the platform. All sensitive information is processed and kept within Australian borders, and at no point in time is data ever transferred offshore or overseas. Lyrebird is fully compliant with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

Obtaining patient consent

Prior to each consult beginning, we prompt you to ask for consent from the patient. When you click "Yes, begin", we record the time that you clicked the button to clearly identify when the consent was obtained. This timestamp serves to safeguard you against potential medicolegal risks.

If you have further questions, please consult with your insurance provider for legal advice on obtaining consent.

How to ask for consent?

You could say something along the lines of "Do you mind if I use an intelligent note-taking tool in our consultation today?" however, this is not legal advice.
