When conditions change, priorities should too.

The clinician makes the decision. We make the context clearer.

Two thousand years ago, the Roman statesman Cicero thought aloud, and his secretary Tiro wrote it down. Tiro is credited with a shorthand, the notae Tironianae, fast enough to keep pace with speech. He never gave the speech or cast the vote. He made sure nothing important was lost so the person in the room could keep their attention on the people in front of them.

An emergency department has the same need. A patient’s observations change, a result arrives, a nurse notes someone feels weaker, and each fact sits in a different place while the team’s attention is rightly with the patients in front of them.

Notae takes its name from those shorthand marks and we’re building it to play the same supporting role. It’s designed to notice what has changed, show why it matters, and bring it to the right person’s attention. The clinician still decides.
