Open Source AI Medical Scribe

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to crowdsource some ideas.

Long story short I’m a Physician Assistant interested in using an AI scribe to help me with my notes, which are the most tedious aspect of my job.

However, I have severe distrust in any of the big tech companies and pre-existing AI scribes.

Obviously, I have concerns over how any AI company will utilize my user generated data, and I certainly don’t want any of my medical decision making to be used to train an AI model in the future. (Laugh all you want, I’m putting on the tin foil hat as I type)

I’ve done some research on open-source AIs that run locally on a personal device. They’re free and don’t come with the potential for misuse of my personal data by a third-party.

Does anyone on this sub have any good suggestions for an open source AI that could potentially be used as a medical scribe? What sort of hardware would I need? For example could it run off of a raspberry pi?

Thanks!

Edit: to be clear my plan is to use it primarily to write the discussion/plan section of my notes which for me is typically free text and takes the most amount of time. I’m not interested in having a fully integrated AI that can pre-select orders for me. At least that’s my vision for it right now haha!

Open Source AI scribe

Hey everyone! I wanted to come on here and crowdsource ideas.

Just like every other medical provider, my charting takes forever, is very tedious, and is probably the worst part of my current job in an outpatient setting.

I’ve thought about using an AI scribe, it makes a lot of sense in theory. However, I have severe distrust in any of the big tech companies and pre-existing AI scribes.

In short, I have concerns over how any AI company will utilize my user generated data, and I certainly don’t want any of my medical decision making to be used to train an AI model in the future. (Laugh all you want, I’m putting on the tin foil hat as I type)

I’ve done some research on open-source AIs that run locally on a personal device. They’re free and don’t come with the potential for misuse of my personal data by a third-party.

Is anybody else currently doing this? If so, do you have any pointers/recommendations? How would you go about ensuring that using an open source AI would be HIPAA compliant?

Thanks!
