A.I. Streamlines Medical Paperwork for Now.

Generative A.I. technology is being used in health care to ease the burden of documentation that takes doctors hours a day and contributes to burnout. The latest A.I. is summarizing, organizing, and tagging the conversation between a doctor and a patient. Companies developing this kind of technology include Abridge, Ambience Healthcare, Augmedix, Nuance, and Suki. Physicians and medical researchers say regulatory uncertainty, and concerns about patient safety and litigation, will slow the acceptance of generative A.I. in health care, especially its use in diagnosis and treatment plans.
