Explainer Example:
“To provide you with the best care and attention, I am using a service called Athelas Scribe that transcribes our conversations and assists with my notes. Your information will remain private, and I will review the content for accuracy. You can request to stop using it at any time. Do I have your permission to use this service during our visits?”

What about chit chat? How does this know to take out non-medical information when my patient is having a conversation with me?

The AI has been trained to understand the context of the conversation and what is medically and non-medical relevant. Based on this we are able to filter out all the information not pertinent for the clinical documentation and re-format the necessary information for your a billing ready note.

Our transcription Model is 99.4% accurate. The LLM can evaluate entire transcription context so spot errors are effectively eliminated.
