The Journalia app allows you to record consultations directly from your phone without needing to keep the screen "awake," letting you stay fully focused on your patient.
Setup and login
Download: Get the Journalia app from the App Store.
Log in: Use BankID to sign in.
Important: Your profile must be set up with BankID via the web version first. Do you only have Buypass? See [this guide] for how to add BankID.
Preferences: Go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right corner) and select your Default Template and preferred language.
How to use the app during a consultation
Start Recording: Tap "Start Recording" (Start opptak) on the home screen. Select "Allow" when the phone asks for microphone access.
Automatic Transcription: The transcription starts automatically. It may take a few seconds before the text appears on the screen.
Pause/Resume: You can pause the recording at any time and resume when you are ready.
Stop and Review: When you tap "Stop," you can review the transcription and adjust the note type.
Send to Web: Tap "Send to Web" (Send til web) to transfer the note directly to your profile for final editing and export to your EHR (EPJ).
Practical tips
Locked Screen: The app will continue to transcribe even if you lock your screen or put your phone down.
Do not disturb: We recommend putting your phone in "Do Not Disturb" mode. If you receive a call during a session, you must decline the call and tap the note to resume recording.
Saved drafts: Paused notes remain on the home screen. From here, you can choose to continue, review, or delete them.
