Evidence for every answer
Each drafted value shows the exact passage of your notes it rests on, checked against the source when the form is drafted.
For Alberta clinicians
The forms that eat your evenings, drafted in minutes with evidence for every answer.
DocDr reads the notes you already have and drafts disability reports, insurer forms and drug authorizations. Every answer shows the exact passage it came from, so you review by reading, not by starting over.
Some forms take an hour. Some take a whole evening.
AISH medical reports, CPP Disability applications, insurer disability claims, special authorizations and drug enrolment forms ask the same questions in different shapes. The answers are already in the chart, spread across your notes, consult letters and allied health reports gathered over months. Finding them, reconciling them and transcribing them is the work. DocDr does the finding and the first draft; you keep the judgement.

Built for review, not blind trust
A draft is only useful if checking it is faster than writing it. Everything in DocDr is designed around that.
Confidence you can see
Two confidence scores per field, one for reading the form and one for filling it, combine into a review priority so you know where to look.
Blank beats a guess
When the notes don't support an answer, DocDr leaves it blank. Conflicting, weakly supported or unverifiable values stop the form until you review them.
A clinician-authored form library
Library forms carry guidance written by a physician who completes them: which sections apply and how each program reads its questions. Alberta forms first.
Works with any EMR or scribe
DocDr needs only the form and the notes. No EMR integration project, and no dependence on which scribe, if any, you use.
The real form, filled in place
Output is the original PDF with its own fields filled, not a retyped copy. Scanned forms get text placed on the page.
For health system partners and funders
DocDr is preparing a pilot in Alberta primary care. It was built by a practising physician who completes these forms every week, and it is designed to be hosted inside health system infrastructure rather than only as a vendor subscription.
We welcome conversations with clinics, primary care networks, health system teams and funders interested in reducing form burden for clinicians and delays for patients.
- Physician-foundedDesigned from daily practice, not from a spec sheet.
- Alberta-firstAISH, Alberta Blue Cross special authorization and provincial programs in the library.
- IndependentWorks alongside any EMR, scribe or documentation workflow.
From the founder
Why I'm building DocDr
I'm a neurologist in Alberta, and before medicine I was a software engineer.
Every week, I'm filling out disability reports, special authorizations, and drug enrolment forms for my patients. The information is almost always already in the chart, or even right there in my own note. The work is finding it, reconciling it, and copying it into the right box, usually after clinic, when I should already be home with my family. Over time, it became the part of the week I dreaded most.
So I built DocDr to do that first pass the way I'd want it done: read everything, fill in what the notes support, leave a field blank rather than guess, cite the source for every answer, and hand the form back to the physician to review and sign.
A delayed form is a delayed treatment or a delayed paycheque. I've watched patients wait on that delay enough times to know what it costs them.
