Kira
Kira is a Danish voice-to-documentation assistant for social care, elder care and general practice. Staff dictate notes or record conversations; Kira transcribes them, translates from other languages into Danish and files them under FSIII, VUM 2.0 or SOAP.
What is Kira?
Kira is a Danish documentation assistant that turns spoken words into finished care records. It is built by Kira AI ApS for the people who write up the day in Danish social care, elder care and general practice: care assistants, nurses, social educators, social workers and doctors.
The workflow is short. A practitioner opens the mobile app, presses record and talks — dictating a note on the move, or recording an entire conversation. Kira transcribes the audio, and it is trained on the vocabulary that defeats general-purpose speech engines: medical terms, illness names, drug names and the wording of the Danish documentation standards themselves. Staff who are more fluent in another language may simply use it; the publisher names Polish, Arabic and Ukrainian, and the result is translated into Danish.
What separates Kira from plain dictation is the step that follows. It splits the text and files each part against the frameworks a Danish organisation is actually inspected on: Fælles Sprog III, with its functional-ability and health conditions and their sub-states, and Voksenudredningsmetoden (VUM 2.0) with its eleven main themes. General practices get a different structure — the classic SOAP layout of subjective, objective, assessment and plan, plus configurable templates for recurring consultations such as an annual diabetes or COPD review. The publisher claims better than 95% classification accuracy and time savings of up to 80%.
A third strand is methodological rather than technical. Dialogisk Dokumentation, developed with residents and staff, has the professional record the conversation together with the citizen, review the summary with them and let them approve it — so the record carries the person's own account instead of a description written about them.
Kira deliberately does not replace what is already installed. It presents itself as an assistant: the finished note is carried across into the existing journal or case system from a computer, which in practice means copying it. It runs as iOS and Android apps and as a web application. No price is published — access begins with a free trial that needs no card, and continues through a sales conversation.
What it does
- Dictate a note or record a whole conversation from a phone, on the move
- Transcribe speech with correct spelling of medical, care and framework terminology
- Classify the note automatically under Fælles Sprog III or Voksenudredningsmetoden 2.0
- Translate a note spoken in another language into Danish automatically
- Structure a medical consultation into the SOAP sections
- Summarise a conversation and have the citizen approve the summary
- Move the finished note into the existing case or journal system
When to use Kira / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Kira is the right fit.
When to use Kira
- Front-line Danish care staff — care assistants, nurses and social educators — who currently write up their notes at the end of a shift
- Managers of residential facilities and nursing homes answerable to the Danish Social Supervision Authority or the Patient Safety Authority
- Social workers and caseworkers producing adult assessments under Voksenudredningsmetoden (VUM 2.0)
- General practitioners who want a consultation structured into SOAP sections before the patient has left the room
- Multilingual teams whose staff document more accurately when they can speak their own language first
When not to use Kira
- Organisations outside Denmark: the product is built around Danish national frameworks and the site exists only in Danish
- Teams looking to replace their case or journal system — the publisher states plainly that Kira is not one
- Developers who need programmatic access: no public API, no documentation and no developer subdomain exist
- Individual buyers who want to compare a published price before talking to anyone: no rate is public
- Consumers wanting a general-purpose note-taker, since the value lies entirely in Danish care classifications
How to use Kira
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Request access through the free-trial form, using a work email address
- Install the Kira app on iOS or Android, or open the web application
- Open the app and press the record button when there is something to document
- Speak naturally, in Danish or in your own first language
- Let Kira transcribe the audio and spell the professional terms correctly
- Let the AI analyse the content and match it to the relevant conditions or themes
- For a consultation, let it lay the note out in the SOAP sections instead
- Where the citizen is present, read the summary through together and adjust it
- Have the citizen approve the summary when using Dialogisk Dokumentation
- Review the result, edit if needed, then move it into your own system from a computer
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Anchored in the Danish frameworks staff are actually inspected on, rather than generic dictation
- Removes the language barrier for multilingual teams, a common reality in Danish care
- Explicit commitment that citizen data is never used to train the AI models
- Citizen data stored and processed in Microsoft Azure inside the EU
- Website processors named individually in the privacy policy, and AI Act compliance claimed alongside GDPR
- Real, actively maintained iOS and Android apps, with onboarding claimed at under five minutes
- Free trial with no commitment and no credit card; fourteen days on the general-practice page
Cons
- No price whatsoever is published: no pricing page, no figure anywhere on the site
- No general terms and conditions and no cookie policy are published, despite a consent banner being described
- Narrow reach: Danish frameworks, a Danish-only site and a product shaped around national standards
- The claim of integrating with every case system on the market comes down to copying the note across by hand
- No security certification in the publisher's own name — the assurance rests on the host's
- Accuracy and time-saving figures are the publisher's own, with no published methodology
- A very young and very small company: registered in November 2024, three to four employees on the register
Pricing & Plans
No price is published. The site carries no pricing page and no monetary amount of any kind, and access is arranged through a commercial conversation following a contact or demo request. There is no permanent free plan; what is offered is a free trial, stated to require neither commitment nor a credit card, and given as fourteen days on the page addressed to general practitioners. The mobile applications are free to download, but use presupposes an account provided by the subscribing organisation. Prospective customers should expect a quotation rather than a published rate.
Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Kira handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR compliance is claimed in plain terms, alongside the EU AI Act and the Danish Data Protection Agency's guidance on AI systems. The privacy policy, dated 10 August 2026, names its legal bases under Article 6 — consent, contract, legal obligation and legitimate interest — and sets out rights to information, rectification, erasure and disclosure, with consent withdrawable at any time. Five processors are named for the website: Cloudflare, Google Workspace, Plausible Analytics, PostHog and Google Analytics, the last only on consent. A data processing agreement is in place with each, and one is signed with every customer. Transfers outside the EEA rely on standard contractual clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Complaints may go to the Danish Data Protection Agency. No Article 27 representative is named, and none is required for a Danish publisher.
Who owns the data?
The privacy policy draws an explicit line between two roles. For data collected through the website, Kira AI acts as controller. For everything processed on behalf of a client organisation, including records about the users that client has created, Kira AI acts only as a processor: the client is the controller and keeps control of the processing. That relationship is governed by the subscription agreement and by a data processing agreement signed with the client, neither of which is published. The security page states that the customer retains full control over how citizen data is used. A user invited into the tool by an organisation is directed to ask that organisation, not Kira AI, about how their data is handled.
Reuse rights
Because Kira AI processes client data only as a processor, what a customer may do with the records it produces is set by the subscription and data processing agreements rather than by any public terms: the site publishes no general terms and conditions. Two commitments are made in the open. Citizen data is never used to train Kira AI's models, by the publisher or by third parties, and the tool makes no automated decisions. For website data, the stated purposes are answering enquiries, arranging demos and — on separate consent — sending marketing. Consent to marketing is explicitly not a condition of requesting a demo, and it can be withdrawn at any time.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
All citizen data is stored and processed in Microsoft Azure, and the publisher states that it is kept within the EU, with access protected by advanced security measures. The site names the provider and the region but never a specific country, so no hosting country is recorded here. The showcase website itself is served by Cloudflare, which should not be mistaken for the platform's hosting: the two are separate. Two of the named website processors, Plausible Analytics and PostHog, are declared as hosting their data in the EU. Where a supplier processes data outside the EU or EEA, the privacy policy states that the transfer relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. No independent certification of the publisher's own security arrangements is published; the assurance offered rests on Microsoft Azure's compliance rather than on an audit of Kira AI itself.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Kira.
- Automation complacency: a note that arrives pre-written and pre-classified is easy to approve without truly reading it, and the record is the legal account of someone's care
- Deskilling in classification: staff who stop choosing FSIII or VUM categories themselves may gradually lose the professional judgement the frameworks are meant to exercise
- Accuracy is claimed, not demonstrated: the 95%+ figure carries no published methodology, and a misfiled condition can propagate into supervision and funding decisions
- Consent and presence: recording conversations with vulnerable people places the burden of obtaining genuine, informed consent on the practitioner, not the software
- The record may drift towards what transcribes well rather than what matters, and a summary always leaves something out
- Contractual opacity: with no published terms and no published price, what a customer may do with their records rests entirely on agreements they cannot read beforehand
- Transferring notes by copying them between systems invites the ordinary human errors — wrong citizen, wrong field, partial paste — that a real integration would prevent
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Low. The publisher claims a learning curve of under five minutes and no technical barriers, explicitly including staff without strong IT skills, and says a first note can be produced on day one. Nothing has to be replaced: Kira sits alongside the existing case system. Setup amounts to requesting the free trial with a work email, then installing the mobile app or opening the web application on an account supplied by the organisation. The one manual step that remains is moving the finished note into the existing journal system from a computer.

What is Dialogisk Dokumentation?
Should you pick Kira?
Kira is a deliberately narrow tool, and that is both its strength and its ceiling. Its value comes from sitting inside the Danish documentation frameworks — Fælles Sprog III, VUM 2.0, SOAP for general practice — rather than offering generic dictation, which makes it genuinely useful to a Danish nursing home or residential facility and largely irrelevant anywhere else. The multilingual input is more than a feature note: in a workforce where many staff write Danish as a second language, letting them speak first and translate after addresses a real quality problem, not just a speed one.
The compliance posture is unusually considered for a company this size. Citizen data is stated never to be used for model training, storage is in Microsoft Azure inside the EU, website processors are named one by one, and AI Act compliance is claimed alongside GDPR. Dialogisk Dokumentation, where the citizen reviews and approves the summary, is a serious idea rather than a marketing flourish.
The reservations are real too. Nothing about pricing is public, there are no published terms and conditions and no cookie policy, and the integration promised as working with every case system on the market turns out in practice to be copying the note across by hand. No security certificate is held in the publisher's own name; the assurance leans on the host. The accuracy and time-saving figures are the publisher's own, without published methodology. And this is a young, very small company, registered in November 2024 with three or four employees.
For a Danish organisation in social, elder or primary care, it is worth a trial. For anyone else, it is an interesting example rather than a candidate.
