Most EHR AI tools write notes. Alma goes further — she understands every page of PracticeStudio, generates structured clinical data, and remembers how you work. All running on MicroFour’s own servers. No exceptions.
Alma is named after Alma Gwendolyn White — “Mimi,” born 1926 — the mother of MicroFour’s founders. She spent her career in the medical records department of a small West Texas hospital, with a remarkable gift for people and for the work. It is a name chosen with intention. She is not a product feature. She is a member of your team.
Alma was designed alongside PracticeStudio — not bolted on afterward. She understands every screen, every workflow, and every module. When you open a page, she already knows what you’re looking at.
Every other AI in this space writes text. Alma writes chart data — properly categorized across clinical sections, with the data types your EHR actually needs. No re-entering. No parsing. It goes directly into the record.
Alma builds persistent memory across sessions — per user, not shared across the practice. The more you use her, the better she understands your preferences, your patients, and how your practice runs.
No OpenAI. No Azure. No third-party AI contracts. Alma runs on MicroFour’s own purpose-built server infrastructure in Texas. What goes in stays in.
Alma docked inside PracticeStudio — aware of the patient, the screen, and the context before a word is typed.
“Can you create a patient handout on Ozempic?” — Alma generates a fully formatted, patient-specific document in seconds.
Alma can generate fully formatted patient education documents, care plan summaries, clinical handouts, and custom reports — rendered inline, printable, and saveable — without leaving PracticeStudio. She uses the patient’s actual record: their name, their medications, their dosages, their provider.
This is not a template fill-in. Alma writes the document from scratch, tailored to the specific patient in front of you, in the time it takes to ask.
Explore Clinical IntelligenceAlma is not a single feature — she is a platform. Each capability area below has its own depth. Start where it matters most to your practice.
The provider sees patients. Alma builds the chart. Ambient audio is transcribed, structured into clinical data across 13 sections, and merged with patient intake forms — all in a single unified operation. No typing. No re-entering. A complete structured chart note, ready for review.
Alma briefs you before you walk in the room. Chart summaries pre-generated at check-in. Patient memos that surface the things the formal chart can’t hold. Context-aware actions on every screen. And the ability to generate patient documents, care plans, and clinical handouts on demand.
Every AI today waits to be asked. Alma is being designed to act. Give her a multi-step workflow — run reports, cross-reference data, consolidate output into a finished document — and walk away. Guided Agency is Alma operating as a staff member, not just an assistant.
Every AI call Alma makes runs on MicroFour’s own server hardware — owned, operated, and maintained by the same team that built PracticeStudio. No patient data routes to OpenAI. No Azure AI. No third-party language model of any kind. Your patient records belong in your environment. Alma keeps them there.
