We recommend trying Mika with a test appointment before using it with patients. This will help you get used to how Mika works and troubleshoot any problems ahead of time.
Ideally, you'll role-play a mock appointment, so you'll need someone to play the role of a patient. Don't have anyone available? No problem, scan one of the QR codes below to play a mock appointment on your phone.
Open the camera app on your smartphone to scan and play one of the mock appointment QR codes below.

Mika will automatically begin listening to your conversation (you may be prompted by your web browser to give Mika permission to access your microphone, please click Yes).
Start role-playing your appointment conversation. You should see Mika begin building a transcript of the conversation in real-time.
When you're finished, stop Mika by clicking the red 'stop' button in the upper righthand corner of the Appointment Details page.
Mika will begin generating suggested content for your note and automatically add them into the pink placeholders in your note.
Note: The suggestions may take a moment to generate.
Edit the note further, if needed. Then click 'Copy' - this will copy your note and you can paste it straight into your EMR.
