What they did
With motor difficulty typing, he began using an assistant in every appointment that records the conversation and generates a detailed summary for the patient record.
How it went
He says he is able to look at the patient again during consultations and has gained confidence. He has used it for three months. There are no other numbers.
Good to know
Recording an appointment involves health data (sensitive under LGPD): inform the patient, get consent and review the summary before saving.
The prompt
Organize this appointment transcript [paste, without the patient's name] in the following format: chief complaint, history, physical exam, hypotheses, plan. Do not add anything that isn't in the text and flag ambiguous passages.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Found a mistake?
