Related to the other reply: this honestly seems like a kinda huge ML opportunity. Imagine if your wife and doctors everywhere were able to just talk to patients with microphones recording it and not worry about notes because the system automatically transcribes it and feeds the result into an LLM that automatically writes up the relevant information, so the end of the day bookkeeping is reduced to just checking its work and manually making changes where necessary. Hard to guess without actually being a doctor but that would surely eliminate a tremendous amount of mindless boilerplate busywork for the majority of patients, right?
- sarchertech 3y agoThere’s a few problems with that. There is very little overlap with what goes into notes written for other doctors and insurance companies and what a doctor says to a patient. And physical exams have a ton of manual components where a doctor is just palpating things and asking if that hurts or this hurts or feeling if a lump is freely moving, or whether someone can rotate something at a specific angle etc… Without the doctor annotating exactly what they are doing and what the patients response was every step of the way, the LLM would be missing too much data to really be useful.
