Frequently asked questions

Product

What is argo?

argo is a clinical documentation assistant that listens during consultations, drafts structured SOAP notes, retains longitudinal patient context, and provides an embedded evidence-oriented advisor so clinicians reduce manual typing without relinquishing oversight.

How does voice-to-SOAP operate?

Audio is captured during or after the encounter. argo transcribes the signal, separates speakers when the pipeline supports it, and assigns content to subjective, objective, assessment, and plan sections according to the active specialty template.

Which specialties are supported?

Nineteen specialty templates cover internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, psychiatry, orthopedics, dermatology, and adjacent disciplines, each calibrated to common documentation patterns in that field.

May notes be edited prior to signing?

Yes. Every field remains editable until you finalize the record. argo supplies drafts; you approve wording, diagnoses, and plan elements before export or filing.

Does argo integrate with the EHR?

Structured text and PDF export support manual entry into most EHRs. Organizations on Clinic plans may evaluate deeper integration paths with the implementation team.

How reliable are machine-generated drafts?

Output quality depends on signal clarity, vocabulary, and case complexity. argo assumes physician review: validate medications, diagnoses, and plan details prior to signing.

Is argo available on mobile devices?

The web client runs on current mobile browsers. Recording can occur on a phone or tablet, with refinement on desktop if desired.

Privacy & Security

How is patient data protected in transit and at rest?

Traffic uses TLS. Stored content is encrypted with audited algorithms. Role-based access and administrative logging govern workspace visibility.

Where is data stored?

Production systems run on reviewed cloud regions selectable where available. Subprocessors are listed for enterprise agreements requiring a data processing addendum.

Is argo appropriate for HIPAA-regulated environments?

argo health aligns product controls and contractual terms for HIPAA-oriented deployments. Covered entities should execute a business associate agreement before introducing PHI. Paid and Clinic tiers include BAA availability.

Who can access my workspace notes?

Only invited users, constrained by their assigned roles. Patient data is not sold and not used for advertising.

How are deletion requests handled?

Workspace administrators may request removal of patient-linked records subject to medical or legal retention requirements. Verified requests are completed within published timelines.

Are models trained on my encounters?

Private visit audio and text are not used to train third-party foundation models. Any future optional research program would require explicit, separate consent.

Plans & Billing

What does the free tier include?

Core voice-to-SOAP drafting and templates are available without a card. Advisor quotas, WhatsApp distribution, and expanded analytics require a paid plan.

How are upgrades and cancellations processed?

Billing changes occur inside the account console. Upgrades activate immediately. Downgrades schedule at period end so features already paid for remain until that cycle concludes.

Is annual billing offered?

Annual contracts include a discount relative to month-to-month billing. Toggle cadence during checkout or within billing settings.

Are team discounts available?

Clinic pricing aggregates seats with improved per-clinician economics and shared administrative reporting. Contact sales when licensing six or more seats.

What occurs after a failed payment?

Automated retries and administrator notification precede any feature restriction. Data remains readable so payment details can be corrected and service restored.

Referral Program

How does referral enrollment work?
