My doctor’s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is “completely deleted” in a “timely fashion”.

I’m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.

I am utterly horrified.

@Haste I was with primary care startup Forward Health for like a year back when they still existed. They had a similar scribe listening in to each session, but this was back in 2022 so it was an actual human person instead of an AI. Lord knows if they didn't go under last year, that they would've gone the same route.

They did send everyone their medical records as an unencrypted attachment right before they shut down though. Totally a HIPPA violation.
