While some scepticism remains from doctors about the use of AI within a healthcare setting, the government, business and consumers have embraced the technology wholeheartedly.
The government is now backing the use of AI note-taking rules in surgeries.
It is encouraging NHS organisations across England to take advantage of a new national registry of 19 suppliers for the technology, which captures clinician-patient conversations and uses AI to generate real-time transcriptions and clinical summaries.
NHS England has published a self-certified registry for the technology, which requires suppliers to comply with standards on clinical safety, technology and data protection.
The registry of suppliers is being launched following NHS guidance published last year advising NHS organisations to use AI notetaking tools which are safe, evidence-based and deliver benefits for patients.
AI notetaking technology tested across nine NHS sites has been proven to free up clinicians to spend nearly a quarter more time with patients.
