Looking at +Physio (PlusPhysio)
Clinidiary, if you are weighing it against +Physio (PlusPhysio)
A fair account of what +Physio (PlusPhysio) is good at, and then what we do differently — in detail, and only things that exist today. No feature table with our column pre-ticked; you can get that anywhere and it is worth nothing.
What +Physio (PlusPhysio) is good at
An honest description
+Physio, also written PlusPhysio, is AI-assisted, cloud-based practice management and electronic health record software for physiotherapy clinics, made by iFour Technolab Pvt Ltd in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Its site addresses solo physiotherapists, multi-location clinic chains, mobile therapists, rehab centres and wellness facilities. The features it emphasises are appointment scheduling with automated reminders to reduce no-shows, patient management and medical records, billing and invoicing with payment tracking, AI-generated SOAP notes and progress tracking, a recovery score, telehealth consultations, a conversational chatbot for patient support, automated discharge summaries, role-based multi-user access, WhatsApp messaging and Razorpay payments. A free Basic plan is offered, Standard and Premium prices are published, and an Enterprise plan is by contact.
Who tends to compare the two
A clinic comparing the two is usually a physiotherapist weighing two physiotherapy-specific systems that both offer a free entry point, which makes this one of the closest comparisons here. +Physio's positioning is AI assistance: generated SOAP notes, a recovery score, a chatbot and telehealth, with paid tiers above the free plan; Clinidiary's is a free clinic record. Clinics that want AI drafting their notes tend to look at +Physio; clinics that want a plain record, at Clinidiary.
We do not run +Physio (PlusPhysio), so we will not tell you what it cannot do — the people who can answer that are +Physio (PlusPhysio) and the clinic down the road who uses it. Everything below is only about us.
What Clinidiary does differently
Built in a clinic that is still running
Clinidiary is written inside a working physiotherapy practice in Adelaide and used on real patients every day. The diary in the screenshots is the one the practice runs on. That is not a slogan about authenticity — it is why a bug a physiotherapist hits on Monday tends to be fixed by Wednesday, because the person who wrote it has to use it on Thursday.
Clinical writing cannot be lost
A note saves itself a couple of seconds after you stop typing, and keeps a copy in the browser while the server is unreachable — so a dropped connection, a closed laptop or a flat battery does not cost you the consultation. A note is very often the only record of something that has already happened, and asking a clinician to reconstruct it a day later is asking them to invent it.
A paid invoice never quietly changes
Once money has been taken against an invoice, the total stops moving. A correction becomes a credit note plus a replacement, and the original keeps its number and its date. It is less convenient than an edit box, and it is the only version an accountant, an auditor or a funder can actually rely on.
Your records leave in one click
Full CSV export of patients, appointments, notes and invoices, whenever you want, without asking us and without a fee. Every export is recorded in the audit log. We would rather show you the exit before you sign up than have you discover it does not exist two years in.
Moving your patients across
You can do it yourself
Export your patient list from +Physio (PlusPhysio) as a CSV and load it in Settings → Bring your data. The columns are read from the file's own headings, so you do not have to tell us what shape the export is in or rename anything first.
Nothing is written until you have seen it
The first pass only reads: it shows which columns were recognised, how many patients would be created, and who would be skipped because they are already here. You decide after seeing that, rather than before.
A date it cannot read, it refuses to guess
03/04/1980 is March in one country and April in another. Rather than pick, the import leaves that date blank and tells you the line number. A wrong date of birth decides concession eligibility and which of two same-named patients you have open.
Run both for a fortnight
We would rather you kept +Physio (PlusPhysio) running alongside for the first couple of weeks than trusted a migration on anybody's word, including ours. See what moving involves.
Questions worth asking any vendor
How do I get my data out?
Ask before you sign up, not after. Ours is a CSV export of patients, appointments, notes and invoices, available to you without asking us and without a fee. If the answer involves a support ticket or a quote, that is the answer.
What happens to a note if my internet drops?
In Clinidiary it keeps saving locally and recovers when you come back. It is a dull question until the day it is the only question, which is usually the day somebody loses a consultation.
Can a paid invoice be edited?
Ours cannot. A correction is a credit note plus a replacement, and the original keeps its number and date. Convenient editing of paid invoices is a problem waiting for an audit.
Who is actually building it?
Two people, in a clinic that sees patients. That is a real limitation — we are smaller than everything else on this page — and it is also why the person who fixes a bug is the person who hit it.
