How to recover a lost or missing consult

If you experience an issue with the generation of your consult notes, you can check your History page to see if the consult can be regenerated.

Step 1: Check the History page

All completed consults are saved to your History page automatically.

  1. Log in to Lyrebird at app.lyrebirdhealth.com

  2. Click History in the main navigation

  3. Look for the consult by date and time

⚠️ TIP: Consults are listed in reverse chronological order. Use the search or date filter to narrow results if you have a large number of saved consults.


Step 2: Check your storage period setting

Lyrebird automatically deletes consults after your configured storage period. The default is 7 days, but this can be set to 24 hours, 14 days, or upto 6 months in your Settings.

If the consult is older than your storage period, it has been permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

To check your current storage period:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Look for When should Lyrebird delete saved items?

  3. Confirm the number of days

Step 3: Look for a partial note

If the consult started but did not complete successfully, it may still be saved in History as an incomplete session.

  1. Open History

  2. Look for an entry under 'Retrieved Consult'

  3. Click to open, then select ‘Regenerate’ to retrieve your note or document.


If the consult cannot be found

If the consult is not in History and has not exceeded the storage period, it is possible it was not saved. This can happen if:

  • The browser tab was closed before the note finished generating

  • The session timed out before Stop was pressed

  • A network interruption occurred at the moment of saving

In these cases, the consult audio is not retained by Lyrebird.
