AI FOR GERIATRICIANS
Keep priorities, function, medications, and support network in an understandable story
Itaca gathers the context provided by the older adult, the family, and the team to prepare reviewable notes and documents. It also facilitates responses with sources and keeps function, medications, and priorities visible between visits.
MORE THAN DOCUMENTATION
A platform to coordinate geriatric complexity
Document, retrieve context, review evidence, and prepare clinical communication from a single history.
Documentation while attending
Organize consultation objectives, function, symptoms, medications, environment, supports, and agreements into a draft that you adapt to your assessment.
Context between meetings
Keep visible the changes in autonomy, mobility, referred cognition, mood, nutrition, falls, treatment, and caregiver participation.
Documents to continue the work
Prepare summaries, instructions, references, and communications for the family or the team based on the already confirmed context. Know the documents that Itaca can help prepare.
Clinical responses with sources
Consult recommendations on medications, function, prevention, care, or follow-up with references that you can open and review. Open the references and review them.
deep research for further exploration
Compare guidelines and literature when a decision requires integrating multimorbidity, personal goals, frailty, or social context. Consult how it organizes sources, dates, and relevant fragments.
BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER
A story that preserves the clinical, the functional, and the personal
Geriatric continuity depends as much on what changes as on who observes the change and what matters to the person.
Before the appointment
Retrieve active problems, medications, supports, functional changes, and recent documents. You may incorporate information provided by the individual, family, or team professionals, always indicating its source.
During the meeting
Document priorities, symptoms, daily performance, adherence, adverse effects, falls, nutrition, sleep, and supports. Itaca prepares the draft without imposing an automatic geriatric assessment.
When coordinating the team
Consolidate agreements, responsible parties, and pending items for nursing, rehabilitation, social work, primary care, or other specialties. A brief summary avoids losing the purpose among multiple interventions.
After
Prepare clear instructions, references, and a follow-up plan that connects objectives, actions, and warning signs to the next review.
THE REAL WORK OF THE SPECIALTY
Geriatrics needs a comprehensive vision that remains legible
A useful note connects the clinical situation with function, preferences, environment, and support capacity.
- Priorities and goals expressed by the person.
- Source of information and participation of family members or caregivers.
- Function, mobility, falls, and daily performance.
- Medications, actual use, tolerance, and agreed changes.
- Cognitive, emotional, nutritional, and social status based on the assessment performed.
- Coordinated plan, responsible parties, warning signs, and follow-up date.

Practical example
How a geriatric assessment can be organized
The example focuses on organizing information and agreements; it does not replace validated instruments or the geriatrician's assessment.
Available context
An older adult consults following recent changes in mobility and medication management. A family member participates, and documents from various professionals are reviewed.
Draft for review
- Reason, priorities, and source of information.
- Relevant clinical and functional changes.
- Medications used and difficulties observed.
- Mobility, diet, sleep, mood, and support.
- Professional assessment and agreed objectives.
- Actions, responsible parties, warning signs, and follow-up.
The geriatrician decides what information is relevant, performs the assessment, and agrees on the plan. Itaca helps make this clear for those who continue care.
For individual practice and for teams
In individual practice, Itaca reduces the reconstruction of complex histories. In teams, it helps share a useful summary among geriatrics, nursing, rehabilitation, primary care, family, and caregivers without turning each encounter into another isolated record.
You can use the Itaca mobile app when the flow requires it or to know the Clinic software if several professionals need to share context, templates, and continuity.
Protected information and professional control
Itaca organizes information and prepares drafts for review. The professional retains responsibility for the evaluation, decisions, and final documents. Check current details of security and privacy.
