# Patients Vitals

The Vitals section is used to record essential patient health measurements during a visit. This information supports clinical decision-making, risk assessment, and patient safety.

Vitals are recorded per visit and stored in the patient’s medical record with date and time.

### Vitals AI Automation (Coming Soon)

Dentaltap will support AI-powered automation for vitals collection, reducing manual data entry during patient visits.

Vitals can be captured using a mobile phone camera and automatically recognized by AI. The detected values are then converted into a structured, formatted patient record and saved directly to the visit.

This approach allows clinics to continue using standard medical devices—such as blood pressure monitors or oxygen meters—even if they do not support API or digital integration.

The result is faster vitals recording, fewer errors, and a smoother clinical workflow without requiring new hardware.
