Less typing. More doctoring.
Video and in-person consults, an AI scribe, and clinical letters drafted for the doctor to review — built inside a New Zealand clinic.
What Kakapo Health does
Video consults
Patients join from a link in Safari or Chrome — no app to install — and wait in a waiting room until the doctor lets them in. Camera, microphone, speaker and connection are checked while they wait.
In-person consults
The same tool in the room: pick today’s patient and record on a laptop or phone browser. Audio uploads as you go, and an interrupted recording can be recovered.
AI scribe
After the consult, the recording is transcribed with speaker labels and turned into a structured draft, with flags for anything the doctor should double-check.
Clinical letters
A clinical letter is drafted from the consult with the patient’s details filled in. The doctor reviews and edits it beside the transcript, then files it to the patient record.
How it works
Start the consult
The patient taps their link and waits for the doctor — or they’re in the room and the doctor hits record.
Just talk
Have the conversation as normal. Afterwards, Kakapo Health transcribes it and drafts the clinical letter.
Review and file
The doctor reads the draft, fixes anything flagged, and files it themselves. Nothing is sent automatically.

How we handle data
- We record audio only, not video, and only to prepare the clinical letter.
- Recordings, transcripts and draft letters are stored on Amazon Web Services in Auckland, New Zealand, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and only reachable over encrypted connections. The storage is private, with public access blocked.
- Transcription is done by a specialist provider in the United States.
- Letters are drafted by an AI model on Amazon Web Services in the Australia/New Zealand region.
- The doctor reviews every AI-drafted letter and files it themselves. Nothing is sent automatically.
- Video calls are encrypted in transit. Staff sign in through an access-controlled portal, and each doctor can only open their own consult room.
- Your clinic asks for your consent before using the scribe — that’s part of the clinic’s process.
