AI is a mixed bag, and a whole lot of hype.
But voice-to-text auto-generation of patient notes during dr visits will be a huge win for the medical profession. Data entry by doctors and nurses will be cut down 10x (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).
My fiancé works at a vet clinic that uses it and she says the doctors love it. The customers, however, don’t like that there’s an AI that listens to their visit so they just say it’s “software”
Transcription software has existed for decades and has no need for AI. It doesn’t need to interpret anything you’re saying, shoving AI into it is literally just making things worse.
