In this interview, DeepScribe CEO Matthew Ko explains how DeepScribe's ambient AI technology helps reduce clinicians documentation time by up to 80%. While these efficiency gains are massive, Matt emphasizes that this is just the first step. DeepScribe's unique approach lies in recognizing the untapped potential of the data being captured during these clinical encounters. By thoughtfully harvesting conversational insights, DeepScribe is building product features that optimize clinical insights at the point of care and improve patient outcomes – creating value that extends far beyond the immediate benefits of reduced documentation burden.

Transcript:

We use AI to identify all the clinically relevant information and summarize that information into, you know, a clinical note that the physician would have otherwise written. And that in turn saves physicians a tremendous amount of time. We were able to save physicians up to eighty percent, of their time documenting.

But I think one unique thing that I I'd like to share is a lot of people think that the problem that we're solving is just clinical documentation.

And it's just burnout. And, you know, I think the perspective that we have at DeepScribe around the problem we're solving is unique in the sense that we believe most of the value that we're going to create in this market is not really in improving the quality of life for physicians, but it's in taking all the data that is being harvested in these conversations and using that to actually build functionality to to improve patient care.
