Coming to the App Store Pricing Requirements

A$39 a month or A$390 a year, after a free first month. Coming soon to the App Store.

How a round works

Scan the label
Photograph the patient’s Bradma label. Bedside reads the name, UR number, date of birth, hospital, ward and bed, then deletes the photo. Tap any field to correct it.
Dictate
Talk through the review at the bedside. Bedside transcribes your dictation and drafts the letter, ward note or operation report in a consistent specialist style for you to check.
Tick the item numbers
Pick from your favourite MBS items, with descriptions and schedule fees from the Department of Health’s current schedule. Swipe a patient to bill without dictating.
Check results
Open Dorevitch (Medway) and I-MED for the patient you’re seeing, with their search already filled in. You sign in with your own account; Bedside never stores your portal password.
Send at the end of the round
Send every letter and the handover sheet as password-protected PDFs, ready for your secretary.

Four pages, one swipe apart

Everything from the round is on four pages. Swipe between them, or use the bar at the bottom.

Patients

Your ward list. Swipe right to discharge, swipe left to add item numbers for any day in the last 90. Discharged patients are kept on a separate list, ready to readmit.

Documents

Draft letters to review, final letters ready to send all at once, and the last week’s ward notes and operation reports. Copy a note straight into the hospital record, or share it as a protected PDF.

Billing

Item numbers not yet invoiced, by patient and day, with schedule-fee totals. Send one password-protected billing sheet per patient to your secretary, and Bedside marks them invoiced.

Tasks

Every inpatient’s jobs from handover as one checklist. Tick a job to clear it, with Undo, or add one for any patient.

Operation reports. Dictate after the case and Bedside writes the report under standard headings. It never adds a step you didn’t dictate.

Record a consult. With the patient’s agreement, record the whole conversation, even with the screen locked, then add your own summary.

Careful with patient information

Bedside is built by clinicians, for clinicians who handle patient information every day.

Photos and recordings are deleted. Label photos and voice recordings are deleted as soon as they’ve been used, and are never stored.
De-identified before processing. Information is de-identified before it is processed.
Locked with a PIN and Face ID. The app locks itself, and exported PDFs are password-protected.

Coming to the App Store

Subscriptions will be billed by Apple through your Apple Account, and will renew each month or year, depending on your plan, until you cancel in Settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Letters will be subject to a fair-use limit of 500 a month, more than a busy specialist’s rounds need. If you expect to need more, contact us. The Terms and Privacy Policy will be published here before release.

Our story

Made by doctors who do the round

Bedside by Tuesday is part of Heidelberg Health, a company being formed by its founding doctors.

Heidelberg Health is a small group of specialist doctors in Melbourne. Between us we run ward rounds, clinics and operating lists every week, and we were tired of the software we were given to do it with.

It was slow, it was bloated, and it was built for someone else’s workflow. It had a hundred features we never used and was missing the few we needed. The paperwork followed us home: letters dictated into the void, handover scribbled on the back of a list, item numbers reconstructed from memory at the end of the day.

So we started building our own. We wanted a scribe that writes the way we write, and a ward round that ends when the round ends. Every screen in Bedside exists because one of us needed it on a real round, and anything that slowed us down came out.

The name is a nod to the day it began: a long Tuesday ward round, a stack of letters still to write, and the thought that there had to be a better way. Our first round with Bedside was a Tuesday too.

We use Bedside on our own patients first. If it isn’t good enough for our rounds, it doesn’t ship.

Questions

Which iPhone do I need?

Any iPhone running iOS 26 or later can install Bedside. To write letters, notes and operation reports you need an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 or newer, with Apple Intelligence turned on.

Does Bedside replace the hospital’s medical record?

No. Bedside is your own working list and letter tool for the round. The hospital record stays the record.

Who checks the letters?

You do. Bedside drafts each letter from what you said; you read it, edit it if needed, and approve it before it’s sent. It doesn’t give clinical advice.

What happens to my patients if I lose my phone?

They’re on that iPhone, behind the app’s PIN, Face ID and your device passcode. We don’t keep a copy on our servers. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, that backup includes Bedside’s data, as it does for most apps.

Is there a limit on letters?

The plan will include up to 500 letters a month, which covers daily rounds plus discharge letters with room to spare. Bedside will let you know when you reach 500, and you can keep writing. If you’re well past that, we’ll ask you to get in touch so we can work out a plan that fits. The free month will include up to 50 letters.

What happens when the free month ends?

Apple will start the plan you chose, A$39 a month or A$390 a year, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. You’ll be able to cancel at any time in your iPhone’s Settings.
