AriaMD personalizes to your charting style without training a global model on your patient data. Two things make the personalization fast: edit cleanly during the first week, and adjust the explicit settings that control structural preferences. Both are described below.
What the system learns from
In order of weight:
- Your edits. When you correct a draft, the diff between the draft and your final note is a clean signal of what you would have written. AriaMD stores a non-PHI representation of structural and stylistic patterns from those edits.
- Your templates. Templates are an explicit statement of the format you want. They are stored as part of your account and applied per encounter when you select them.
- Your settings. Style preferences in Settings, Tools and AI override inferred patterns. When something is too important to be a guess, set it explicitly.
The system infers style. It does not infer clinical content. A symptom you did not document does not appear in the next draft because it appeared in a prior visit.
What to edit on day one
Just chart the way you would chart any draft. Do not try to optimize editing on day one. The diff between the draft and your signed note is the cleanest possible training signal, and trying to constrain edits early reduces the signal. Expect to edit 30 to 40 percent of the draft for a typical visit.
By day three, you will notice the same edit appearing repeatedly. Common patterns:
- Changing “patient denies suicidal ideation” to “no SI reported.”
- Reformatting the MSE from a paragraph to bullets, or vice versa.
- Moving the medication list out of the HPI into a dedicated line.
- Switching the assessment from prose to a numbered list.
Three to five repeated edits is normal. Some are stylistic (the system can learn them). Some are structural (better handled with a setting or template).
What to set explicitly
Open Settings, Tools and AI. The style preferences panel exposes the structural levers:
- MSE format: paragraph or bullets.
- Negation phrasing: “no reported” or “patient denies.”
- Assessment format: prose or numbered list.
- Follow-up phrasing: “RTC 4 weeks” or “follow-up in 4 weeks.”
- Plan structure: numbered or bulleted, by item count.
Set these once. Anything that was a recurring structural correction gets handled at the system level instead of in your edit pass.
How to verify what the system has learned
The personalization summary in your settings page shows the active style preferences in plain English. “Prefers bullet MSE. Uses ‘no reported’ negations. Numbered assessments by default.” If the summary does not match how you actually chart, edit it directly. You can also reset the inferred preferences and start over.
What to do when personalization stalls
If you have been on the platform for two weeks and the drafts still feel generic, three things to check:
- Are you running Aria on every visit, or only on the long ones? The system needs volume to converge. Charting on routine visits is the cleanest signal, not the complex ones.
- Have you set the explicit style preferences? Inferred patterns can take longer to settle than an explicit setting.
- Is your custom template configured for your highest-volume visit type? Template structure is the single biggest lever. A well-configured template covers structural preferences that personalization would otherwise need to learn.
If all three are in good shape and the drafts are still not matching, email hello@nextvisit.ai. The team can review
the personalization state on your account and identify what is or is not converging.
