Ask Shepard About This

"Tell me about Hypertension" — Shepard explains in plain language what high blood pressure means, why it matters, and what you can do about it.

What are the symptoms? How is it treated? Lifestyle changes?

Visit Summary

After your appointment, get a clear summary of what was discussed, what was prescribed, and what to do next — in language that makes sense to you.

Personalized for You

Tell Shepard you're a mechanic and it might explain blood pressure like PSI in a tire. A teacher? Like managing a classroom of students. Your world, your language.

HIPAA-Compliant by Design

Shepard is not an EHR or system of record. We help you create clinical drafts with enterprise-grade encryption protecting every piece of data.

Privacy and security

End-to-End Encryption

All clinical content is encrypted at rest using AWS KMS envelope encryption and transmitted over TLS. Your data is protected under signed Business Associate Agreements.

BAA-Covered Infrastructure

Shepard operates under signed BAAs with AWS and OpenAI. Your clinical data is handled exclusively by HIPAA-covered services with enterprise-grade security.

No Audio Retention

Audio is streamed for transcription, then immediately discarded. We never store recordings. Your encrypted notes are optionally saved to the cloud.
