Orion vs Net Health
Net Health is rehab software, but it's an enterprise, legacy platform sized for hospitals and SNFs and gated behind a quote. Here's how Orion's modern, AI-native approach compares.
Aurora writes the note while you treat the patient.
Tap once at the start of the visit. Aurora listens in the background, no separate app, no dictation prompts, and drafts your PT-specific SOAP note from the natural conversation. It's ready to sign in under two minutes.
- ✓ Ambient and real-time, hands on your patient, not your keyboard
- ✓ PT/OT/SLP-specific notes, plus field-level voice fill
- ✓ Built in and included, not a paid add-on
vs Net Health: Net Health is an established enterprise rehab platform, and ambient AI documentation is a more recent addition to it. Aurora is ambient and AI-native from day one, included in every plan, one tap and the PT-specific note drafts itself while you treat.

What Net Health users run into
- An enterprise, legacy platform sized for hospitals and SNFs, heavy for an independent clinic.
- Pricing gated behind an enterprise sales and quote process.
- Interfaces and workflows that feel dated next to modern, AI-native tools.
- Implementations that run on an enterprise timeline.
- AI and automation are more recent additions to an established core, rather than built in from day one.

Three reasons PT clinics pick Orion over Net Health
Modern and AI-native, not legacy
Orion is a modern platform with Aurora, an ambient AI scribe, built in from day one and included in every plan. Net Health is an established enterprise rehab system where ambient AI is a more recent addition rather than native from the start.
Pricing you can see, not an enterprise quote
Orion publishes $189–$249 per provider, per month, everything included, and you only pay for providers who bill. Net Health's pricing is gated behind an enterprise sales and quote process.
Right-sized for independent PT
Orion is built PT-first for independent and growing clinics, with value in 7 days and a full go-live in about 35. Net Health is sized for hospitals, SNFs, and health systems, heavier than most independent practices need.
