§ The differencepalmER AI Suite
Their focus

Doximity Scribe is a free scribe for eligible U.S. clinicians.

Doximity Scribe provides free note generation for eligible verified U.S. clinicians, with dictation, pre-charting, templates, and connections to Dialer and Ask.

✓ Your entire shift

palmER is an entire ED shift's worth of help.

Keep multiple workups moving. Turn your chart into an EM-native MDM, get clinical answers, prepare consult calls, and review the chart before you sign. palmER also spots documentation needs for critical care, procedures, and sepsis and drafts the supporting notes. Finish with discharge instructions, work notes, and school notes. All in one subscription.

§ The record behind the recorddoximity-scribe vs palmER AI Suite

You signed one note. What else still exists?

Doximity says Scribe Notes are deleted after 29 days, while its Terms and BAA govern broader submitted-content and PHI processing. palmER never stores ambient audio and deletes patient data within 24 hours.

Your signed note belongs in your EHR. The drafts, transcripts, and questions that helped you get there don't need a permanent home in your AI tool. With palmER, they expire automatically.

Doximity Scribe

What the public documents say.

Doximity's Help Center says Scribe Notes are available for 29 days before permanent deletion. The Terms classify Scribe submissions as User Content and grant a broad perpetual license for processing and use, including creating, training, fine-tuning, and improving AI or ML models. The BAA allows automated and ML or generative-AI processing of PHI and permits a limited retained copy after termination.

✓ palmER

Help on shift. Patient data gone within 24 hours.

Your content belongs to you. palmER processes it to provide the service, never uses it to train AI models, and automatically deletes patient data within 24 hours. Encounter audio is not stored. Patient data is never used to train AI models.
