If you are a MD and you practise neurology, oncology or other specialities where you have intricate long patient conversations, have you ever wondered if AI can help you take some of the burden off?
Whether that’s speeding up diagnoses, improving patient care, or just saving you time. But with so many options out there, how do you know which one’s right for you? Today, we’re diving into a comparison between two standout tools: Freed and Marvix.
My goal is to assess their capabilities in generating accurate, comprehensive medical notes for specialists. To make the comparison as real-world as possible, we recorded a mock conversation with an epilepsy patient and used the same recording for both AIs, I applied both tools to the same mock epilepsy call to see how these tools come into play.
The call lasted 14 minutes, where our mock doctor assessed her patient, Ken. Ken (our mock patient) shared details about his epilepsy symptoms and medical history. He described episodes where he feels "weird," hears music, and experiences dizziness before passing out. Others have told him that during these episodes, he "flops like a fish." These episodes typically last a few minutes, and afterward, Ken often feels sore or extremely tired, sometimes needing a full day to recover.
In this post, I’ll walk through how each tool handled the case, focusing on how many details each tool captured, the different sections that each tool created and its ease of use. If you're looking for a tool that strikes the right balance of medical precision and usability, keep reading for a detailed comparison of Freed vs. Marvix AI. Below are my findings.
When comparing the clinical note templates offered by Marvix AI and Freed AI, the differences in structure and depth stand out clearly.
Marvix provides disease-specific templates that are carefully designed to capture the unique details of each condition. These templates differ based on the diagnosis, with tailored sections that address the specific needs of each disease. For example, Marvix will prompt for specifics like triggers and headache frequency for migraine patients, or cognitive decline and behavioral change for dementia.
Another standout feature is how Marvix handles different types of visits. For example, the system distinguishes between first visits and follow-up visits, adjusting the template accordingly to capture the most relevant data for each scenario. Similarly, it differentiates between annual (well) visits and sick visits, with each having a template designed to focus on preventive care or addressing acute health concerns.
Freed has a standard soap note template which comes in three different note preferences. It does not support different templates for different kinds of diseases or visits. It has three kinds of note preferences:
My thoughts:
Marvix provided a range of sections aimed at capturing details relevant to neurology where each section was designed to address specific clinical needs. For example, in our epilepsy case, the History of Present Illness (HPI) clearly organizes seizure frequency, onset, and types of seizures, while the Review of Systems (ROS) breaks down categories like neurological and psychiatric.This structured format allows healthcare professionals to quickly locate specific data, making follow-ups and case reviews more efficient.
While Freed provides narrative-style notes with comprehensive details, it has less structure and inadequate depth in the notes. For example, the Standard Note lacks dedicated sections like medications, diagnostic tests, or detailed review of systems. In the case of a neurology patient, Freed’s General Note might not record all the fundamental information you might need in your clinical note. It doesn’t offer enough detailed sections for a full neurological review, which are critical in such cases.
When comparing Freed and Marvix, one of the key differences is how much detail each AI captures, especially when it comes to HPI (click here to view the raw notes generated by both). Here's a breakdown of how the two compare in terms of capturing details:
My thoughts:
Marvix clearly goes deeper when it comes to recording patient information. There are more details about the patient’s medical history, the specific symptoms they experience, and even how things like stress might be affecting them. Marvix also pays close attention to things like allergies and medications. If you are a specialist, these details are crucial for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, and Marvix captured them well.
On the other hand, Freed tends to be a bit more general in its notes which might miss important details about the patient.
Marvix generates multiple kinds of documents such as clinical notes, operative reports, after-visit summaries, referral letters and medical leave letters, whereas Freed only generates clinical notes.
My thoughts:
In summary, Marvix generates multiple kinds of documents needed for a physician in an instant so you don't have to spend your time working on these documents yourself.
Freed only generates clinical notes. It’s streamlined to focus on capturing patient information and visit details, but doesn’t handle other documents like operative reports, after-visit summaries, medical leave letters or referral letters.
Note-taking is a deeply personal process, and every clinician develops their own unique style over time. One of the standout features of Marvix is its advanced ability to tailor clinical notes to an individual physician’s style. Using neural style transfer, Marvix learns from your previous notes. You can upload them, and it will adjust to match your tone, language, and style. This way, your unique style stays intact and consistent. For example, whether a physician prefers writing in the first person ("The patient reports...") or the third person ("The patient was noted to..."), Marvix adjusts accordingly, adapting to their established writing habits.
For example, some doctors might use shorthand or abbreviations extensively in their notes, while others prefer to write out full terms and avoid abbreviations. Marvix adjusts its output to follow your preferred level of abbreviation or spelling out terms.
Beyond just the writing style, Marvix also allows customization of sections like the Assessment/Plan are formatted. Physicians can choose from various options such as bullet-point lists, a narrative style, or a problem-wise breakdown, where each problem is listed separately with a corresponding plan of action.
Freed offers some customization, but it’s more limited. The Learn Format feature lets users save their preferred formatting, but it requires multiple manual edits before it applies. This feature is specific to each section within a Visit Type (New or Returning Patient), and changes in one visit type don’t affect the other.
Freed’s Magic Edit allows quick changes based on user instructions, like adding or modifying specific sections. However, it still relies on manual input and doesn’t offer the same automatic learning as Marvix.
My thoughts:
In short, Marvix provides customisation for every single user, offers more flexible, AI-driven customization, learning from the physician’s style. Freed, on the other hand, requires more manual effort, and doesn’t adapt as seamlessly.
If you are a specialist, you might already be working with a team to manage each patient encounter. You may have a process where your medical assistant does intake and patient history, another assistant inputs ROS and patient questionnaires, then you (the MD) consults the patient and plan the treatment while another nurse may answer any post-consult questions.
Marvix supports this kind of teamwork by letting multiple users update or add information in real time. It ensures everyone can contribute based on their role. For a specialist, having all of these details captured in one note is crucial. Marvix combines everything into a single, streamlined note, keeping everything in one place.
Freed doesn’t allow multiple users to work on the same note at the same time, which can lead to information getting missed.
Marvix simplifies medical coding by using the clinical note to automatically assign ICD-10 CM and E/M codes. Marvix ensures the codes match the specifics of the encounter and follow the latest coding rules. It also provides coding rationale, explaining the choices to prevent undercoding and reduce claim denials. Marvix automatically includes add-on codes and E&M modifiers, especially in complex billing situations.
Marvix automates the MDM (Medical Decision Making) process by calculating and presenting the MDM scores, allowing you to select the most appropriate level. This streamlines the documentation process, reducing time and effort spent on administrative tasks.
Freed does not provide medical coding within its clinical notes. It offers an ICD search box.
Marvix offers 2-way EHR integration, making it easier to manage patient data. It automatically pulls upcoming appointments, so you don’t have to enter patient names manually. Marvix also retrieves previous notes and diagnoses, providing a richer HPI and a more complete view of the patient's history. By pulling in interval history, it makes follow-ups and tracking changes over time much easier. The tool then pushes updated notes back into the EHR, section by section, ensuring everything stays current.
At this point in time, Freed doesn’t integrate with the EHR API so it doesn’t pull your appointment or previous notes.
Marvix offers specialists a more comprehensive and tailored documentation experience. It pulls patient data directly from the EHR, saving time on manual entry and giving a richer view of the patient’s history. The AI also adapts to your unique note-taking style, learning from past notes to match your preferred format—whether that's bullet points or detailed narratives.
Unlike Freed, which only generates clinical notes, Marvix handles a wider range of documents, including referral letters, medical leave letters, and operative reports. It also simplifies coding by automatically generating ICD-10 CM and E/M codes along with MDM to reduce undercoding and claim denials.
As of today, for specialists looking for a more efficient and integrated tool, Marvix provides the depth, customization, and time-saving features needed to streamline workflows and enhance patient care.
