Why Paediatric Physiotherapists Love Preve For AI Notes
Paediatric physiotherapy is not a scaled-down version of adult rehab. It is a specialty in its own right, with unique clinical reasoning, communication challenges, and documentation requirements.
Sessions often involve parents or carers, developmentally appropriate language, play-based exercises, and long-term treatment plans that evolve as a child grows.
Yet most AI tools and rehab platforms were never designed with paeds physios in mind.
That gap is exactly what Preve fills.
The Problem With Generic Medical AI Tools in Paediatrics
Most AI scribes and rehab platforms are built to serve a broad medical audience. GPs, specialists, and allied health providers all use the same underlying structure.
For paediatric physios, this creates friction from the first session.
1. Generic notes do not reflect developmental assessment
Paediatric physiotherapy involves far more than pain and impairment. It includes:
Gross and fine motor milestones
Age-appropriate strength and coordination
Balance and movement quality
Functional play and participation
Behavioural engagement and tolerance
Family and environmental context
Generic medical scribes often miss these elements entirely or bury them in poorly structured notes.
2. Custom templates add cognitive load
Some platforms allow clinicians to build their own templates. While flexible, this pushes the work back onto the physio.
Designing and maintaining paediatric-specific prompts is time consuming and detracts from clinical care. Paediatric physios need tools that are ready to use, not tools that require ongoing configuration.
Preve Is Built for Paediatric Physios
Preve includes off-the-shelf paediatric physiotherapy clinical note templates that reflect how paediatric physios actually assess, treat, and communicate.
These templates are designed with paediatric workflows in mind, capturing:
Developmental history and milestones
Parent or carer concerns and goals
Functional movement and play-based observations
Objective measures appropriate to age
Clear plans that make sense to families
This results in cleaner notes, less editing, and documentation that truly represents the session.
Individualised Exercise and Activity Prescription for Children
Paediatric rehab is rarely about standardised exercises. It is about play, repetition, creativity, and making movement engaging.
The limitations of traditional exercise libraries
Stock exercise videos are poorly suited to paediatrics. They often:
Show adult demonstrations
Lack context or play-based cues
Fail to match what was taught in the session
Parents are then left trying to interpret how to apply an adult exercise to their child.
How Preve does it differently
Preve allows paediatric physios to film child-specific or parent-assisted exercises directly inside the Preve app during the session.
These videos are saved straight to the child’s treatment plan, giving families:
Clear visual guidance
Familiar demonstrations
Confidence they are doing it correctly
There is no need for after hours program building or searching for age-appropriate stock content.
Better Engagement for Families and Better Adherence
Adherence in paediatric physiotherapy depends heavily on parent understanding and confidence.
When families are unsure what to do, exercises get skipped. When progress is unclear, motivation drops.
Preve addresses this by combining:
Individualised exercise videos
Plain-language explanations
Visible goals and milestones
Outcome measure tracking where appropriate
Families can see what the goals are, how progress is tracking, and what comes next. This transparency increases confidence and follow through.
One Platform That Supports the Entire Paediatric Workflow
Preve is not just a note-taking tool. It supports the full paediatric physiotherapy journey.
Paediatric physios can use Preve for:
Developmentally appropriate clinical notes and treatment plans
NDIS reports
Letters to referrers and schools
Individualised exercise and activity programs
Outcome tracking and goal progression
Ongoing communication with families
Everything lives in one place, reducing admin load and improving continuity of care.
Designed to Support Better Paediatric Outcomes
Paediatric physiotherapy requires time, creativity, and strong relationships with families. Technology should support that, not distract from it.
By reducing documentation burden, improving clarity for families, and keeping goals visible over time, Preve helps paediatric physios focus on what matters most: helping children move, participate, and thrive.
For paediatric physiotherapists, Preve is not a generic AI platform.
It is a system built for how paediatric care actually works.
