Improving Patient-Doctor Conversations with AI
Incomplete medical records remain a persistent issue in healthcare systems, often leading to miscommunication, delayed diagnoses, and compromised clinical outcomes. Deficiencies in documentation increase administrative burden and force healthcare providers to revalidate existing information, reducing efficiency and continuity of care. The absence of accurate, comprehensive records also erodes patient trust and diminishes the quality of patient-centered care.

Consider the following clinical context: a patient sits in a physician’s office, confronted with a moment of profound uncertainty. A serious diagnosis is delivered, and with it, a cascade of decisions, emotions, and implications for future planning.
