How the calculator works.
What drives the estimate
Documentation load is built bottom-up: doctors × patients per day × documentation minutes per patient × working days. The efficiency slider removes a share of that load; the value of every reclaimed hour is your average doctor salary converted to an hourly cost over a 9-hour day. Synapse is priced per consultation captured — the fee scales with your volume — and pendant hardware is a one-time cost against the first year.
Key assumptions and benchmarks
Doctors in busy Indian OPDs spend roughly 8–15 minutes per patient on documentation across case sheets, registers and summaries. Ambient AI scribes typically remove 55–70% of that time; the default sits at a conservative 60%. Salary is a cost proxy — it undercounts the value of reclaimed time wherever that time becomes additional consultations, reduced attrition, or fewer medico-legal documentation gaps.
Interpreting your results
A hardware payback under 3 months is a strong result; at 30+ patients per doctor per day, payback typically lands within weeks. If net monthly gain is negative, your documentation load is likely too small for pendant deployment — start with a single high-volume department instead of the whole roster.
