San Francisco based startup Hint Health has announced a new collaboration with OpenAI that aims to transform the doctor patient relationship.
The big idea:
- Hint and OpenAI are building technology together that utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance the doctor patient experience
- The concept is for doctors to record their sessions with patients and allow artificial intelligence to summarize the interaction and produce concise notes
Why it matters:
- Documentation of patient visits is a limiting factor on doctors time and their ability to see more patients
- Accurate data on patients is paramount for achieving the best health outcomes possible
- The new technology is compliant with health regulations and privacy needs to protect sensitive or confidential information
Going deeper:
- Hint Healthcare has raised more than $60M since inception, with backing from notable venture capitalists such as Banneker Partners and Frist Cressey Ventures
- This new partnership with OpenAI is their first foray into bringing AI into their platform, which they plan to expand on moving forward
- Artificial intelligence has transformative potential to accelerate innovation in healthcare and has already shown enormous promise in drug discovery
The fine print:
- Hint’s new AI technology is currently only in beta and is yet to be rolled out to doctors on a large scale
