AI Medical Record Review — Analyze Patient Records Faster
Medical record review is the analysis step — reading patient records and extracting the clinical events that matter to your case. Dodonai's AI reads the records for your team, flagging diagnoses, treatments, inconsistencies, and timeline gaps so attorneys review conclusions, not raw documents.
What Medical Record Review Actually Means
Medical record review is the analysis step in any case involving patient records — physician notes, diagnostic results, imaging reports, treatment history, IME findings. The job is to read the records, identify what's clinically relevant, flag inconsistencies, and surface the moments that affect case strategy. For attorneys, that means reading thousands of pages before you can build a medical chronology, evaluate damages, or prepare for deposition.
Manual review hasn't changed much in decades: open the file, read every page, take notes. For a 500-page record set, that's a full day of paralegal time. Multiply that across 20 active cases and your team is buried in paperwork — and still has to build the chronology afterward.
AI medical record review changes the equation. Dodonai ingests the full record set, identifies key clinical events, flags inconsistencies and treatment gaps, and produces structured output with page citations back to the source. Your team reviews the AI's findings instead of reading every page line by line. For law firms handling personal injury, medical malpractice, mass tort, workers' comp, or disability benefits cases, the result is faster case evaluation, more consistent analysis across the firm, and lower cost per case.
What the AI Does During Review
Clinical Event Extraction
The AI reads every page and extracts diagnoses, procedures, medications, provider visits, lab results, and imaging findings — with a page citation for every extracted event so any finding can be verified against the source record in seconds.
Inconsistency and Gap Flagging
Surfaces inconsistencies across providers, gaps in treatment, contradictions between IME findings and treating physician notes, and prior conditions that could affect causation analysis. The signals attorneys would otherwise hunt for manually.
Narrative Analysis Summary
A readable analytical summary of the patient's clinical picture — key diagnoses, course of treatment, response to therapy, and the threads that connect them. Built for case evaluation and expert witness preparation, not just data extraction.
OCR for Scanned Records
Scanned PDFs, handwritten notes, and faxed documents are no problem. Dodonai's AI-powered OCR extracts text accurately so nothing gets missed during review.
HIPAA-Compliant Processing
Patient data is encrypted with AES-256 on SOC 2 certified infrastructure. BAAs signed before your first upload. Records never enter a training pipeline.
Bulk Record Processing
Whether it's a single plaintiff case or thousands of claimants in a mass tort, upload and process multiple record sets in parallel. Dodonai scales to your volume without sacrificing analysis quality.

From Medical Record Review to Chronology
Review is the input. The chronology is the output. Once Dodonai has read and analyzed the records, it automatically organizes the extracted events into a complete medical chronology — a structured, date-ordered timeline your team can use in depositions, mediation, demand letters, and trial. The analysis and the chronology come from a single upload; you don't run two tools.
If you want to see the chronology output specifically — formats, examples, and how attorneys use it — generate a full medical chronology is the dedicated page for that. If you're comparing chronology software vendors, see our comparison of medical chronology software options.
