Aide Health Launches AI Scribing Tool for Patients
UK start-up Aide Health has introduced an AI-powered 'medical memory' app, aiming to address the issue of patients forgetting their doctor's advice.
Research indicates that up to 80% of medical advice is forgotten immediately, and nearly half of the remembered information is inaccurate. This can lead to missed medication, unclear instructions, and poorer health outcomes, resulting in an estimated £1 billion annual cost to the NHS.
Aide Health's app, called Mirror, records healthcare consultations and generates a plain-English summary, ensuring medical advice is not lost when the patient leaves the room. The app uses audio recordings to create written summaries and automatically deletes the recordings to maintain privacy.
