About Lyrebird Health
What Is Lyrebird Health
Lyrebird Health is an Australian clinical documentation platform built around an ambient AI scribe. You open it in a browser, start a consult, and it listens in the background while you talk to the patient. When the consult ends, a draft note is waiting, along with any letter, certificate or care plan you asked for.
The product goes further than transcription. Notes follow your own template, patient history is pulled from the EMR before you start, and finished documents save back to the patient file without copy and paste. For Australian general practice, that covers the GP documentation that usually follows you home: chronic disease management plans, mental health treatment plans, health assessments and WorkCover certificates.
The limits are geographic and clinical. The deepest features assume Australian general practice, with MBS item numbers, Centrelink forms and EMRs such as Best Practice, Genie and Gentu. Clinicians outside that setup can use the scribe, but the care plan and billing support won't map to their system. Every draft also needs a clinician review before it goes into the record.
Getting Started
- Create an account at app.lyrebirdhealth.com. The free plan needs no card, and a 14-day Pro trial is offered at signup.
- Allow microphone access in the browser. A built-in mic works, and a USB tabletop mic picks up a shared consulting room more cleanly.
- Connect your EMR if you have one, then pick or build a note template. Best Practice, Genie and Gentu users can pull the day list and patient history into the session.
- Start the consult, talk normally, and pause whenever the patient asks. Lyrebird drafts the note, and you edit, approve and save it to the record.

Key features
Ambient Consult Notes
The scribe listens during the consult and writes a draft as you go. It handles pauses, interruptions, small talk and mixed languages, and you can start, pause or add to a note at any point. Notes follow SOAP or a custom template you build, including templates for several complaints in one visit. That's the difference between this and medical scribe software that only transcribes.
Care Plans and Assessments
Chronic disease management plans (721 and 732), mental health treatment plans and health assessments (ATSI, 45 to 49, 75+) are drafted from the consult and the patient record. DASS-21 can go out before the appointment, and the answers feed the plan. This is the part that sets Lyrebird apart from a plain dictation tool.
Letters, Certificates and PDF Forms
Referral letters, patient letters, medical certificates and WorkCover documents are generated from the consult. You can upload an example letter so the output matches your structure, and upload a blank PDF so Lyrebird fills the fields from the record.
EMR Integration and Write-Back
Best Practice, Genie and Gentu users get the day list, patient history and note write-back inside the EMR. Blood pressure, weight and other observations land in the right fields. Hospitals can launch from Epic, Oracle Health or Meditech and write back through FHIR, HL7 v2 or a partner API. That level of EMR integration is why clinics pick it over a standalone scribe.
Patient Context Before the Consult
Lyrebird pulls medications, allergies and history into one view, and BetterConsult can collect consent and intake answers before the appointment. Nurses can start an assessment and hand it to the GP for review, which keeps the whole clinical team in the same record.
Privacy and Data Residency
Consultations and notes are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed and stored in Australia, and aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles, HIPAA and GDPR. Lyrebird says it doesn't train external AI models on customer data and doesn't sell or share transcripts.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Documentation finishes inside the consult: notes, letters and plans are drafted while the patient is still in the room, which is the difference between leaving on time and staying late.
- Care plans are the strong suit: 721, 732 and mental health plans pull from the patient record, and MBS eligibility checks run through Cubiko.
- Deep EMR write-back: the note lands in the patient file without copy and paste, and observations go into their own fields.
- Australian data handling: storage and processing stay onshore, and the vendor states that customer data isn't used for model training.
- Clear entry cost: the free plan and the 14-day Pro trial let a clinician test the workflow on real consults before paying.
Cons
- Built around Australian general practice: MBS numbers, Centrelink forms and the EMR list won't fit a clinic in another health system, even with the UK and Middle East expansion underway.
- The free plan is thin: 50 note actions and 10 document actions a month, no care plans and no EMR integration, so it works as a trial rather than a working setup.
- Annual billing on Pro: the listed $160/mo price assumes a yearly commitment, which is a lot to sign before a full quarter of use.
- Every draft needs review: the scribe can miss a detail or mishear a drug name, and the clinician carries the documentation risk.
