A Flinders University study, published in npj Digital Medicine, has found that AI medical scribes already reduce some administrative work that takes time away from patients, but these devices have the capacity to do more when fitted with visual recording apparatus.
Researchers from Flinders's College of Medicine and Public Health found that a vision-enabled AI scribe, employing a combination of Google's Gemini model and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, substantially improved the documentation accuracy of pharmacist-patient consultations and reduced omissions and errors in clinical notes.
An AI scribe that analyzed both video and audio achieved 98% accuracy, compared with 81% when the same system processed only audio information.
A significant benefit was capturing medication strength and form, which are crucial details for safe dosing.
The AI scribe with video input captured this information 97% of the time, while audio-only recordings fell to 28%.
