I personally would trust that more and would like being able to rewind to hear exactly what the doctor said, not just what the AI thought was important. Patients don't have the scale problems that docs have when it comes to reviewing the information.
What do you think?
But in the midst of it all, I can't help but wonder if a plain ol voice note stored locally on my phone (perhaps one that gets transcribed, if one is not picky about the data going out that way) would be better than an AI scribe. Certainly that would eliminate lots of the issues raised here.
Am I hearing things? Or does the new Death Cab for Cutie song "I Built You A Tower (a)" sound like a TWIABP song to anyone else?
(specifically "Infinite Josh" or "Afraid to Die")
