How to record a doctor's appointment, for you or a parent

Before, during and after

1. Ask at the start: "Is it OK if I record this so I can remember it?" Rules differ by location, and most doctors appreciate being asked.
2. Press record and lock the phone if you like. The Lock Screen shows the timer.
3. Afterward, read the transcript and tap any line to hear it again.
4. Open AI Tools for a summary or bullet points, and share them with family using the share button.

Helping a parent

If you can't be in the room, a parent can record the visit on their own iPhone, with their doctor's agreement, and share the audio or transcript with you afterward. Only do this with your parent's consent.

What this isn't

Spiik isn't a medical device or a medical record, and AI summaries and transcripts can contain mistakes, especially with drug names and doses. Check medication details against the prescription, and ask the doctor's office about anything you're unsure of.

Audio is uploaded to create the final transcript, and the upload storage deletes it after one day, while AI tools send the transcript text to an AI provider. Read how Spiik handles your audio before you use it for health information.
