A Clinician's Guide to Getting the Most from File Uploads in Doximity Ask

File uploads unlock some of the most powerful workflows in Doximity Ask . But they only work when you give Doximity Ask a clear job to do. Uploading a file and typing one word like "see" or "which" or "is this okay?" gets a generic response.

The reason is simple: Doximity Ask has no background knowledge about you, your patient, or why you uploaded the file. It only knows what you tell it in the current conversation. Without a clear instruction, it can only guess at what you need.

The Fix: A Three-Part Prompt

Every upload prompt needs three components. You do not need to be exhaustive. A sentence or two for each is enough. The goal is to give Doximity Ask the same information you would give a colleague before handing them a document.

1. What the file IS

2. What you want Doximity Ask to DO

3. Any relevant clinical context

In Action

Compare the difference. Both prompts accompany the same EKG image.

Copy this prompt: Instead of typing "see", try this:

This is an EKG from a 68-year-old with new palpitations and a history of paroxysmal afib. She's on metoprolol 25mg. Summarize the findings and flag anything I should act on tonight.

Try in Doximity Ask

KEY Think of every upload like a consult request. You would not page a specialist and just say "see." Give them the patient, the question, and what you need from them.
