Cambridge physician calls new AI tool a 'life changing' time saver
A local physician says he got his life back ever since he started using an artificial intelligence tool to help with patient consultations.
Heidi AI was launched by the Cambridge North Dumfries Ontario Health Team (CND OHT) earlier this year and now assists in nearly 3,000 patient consultations in the region.
Heidi “securely listens” during patient visits and is able to create medical notes, patient summaries, and templates based on key words.
For the past eight months, Dr. Adam David Wilson says Heidi has significantly reduced the work he has to do outside of office hours.
Heidi has saved over 530 hours per week for clinicians across the region since the tool was implemented at the start of this year, says a press release.
