AI scribe takes on doctor dictation in orthopedic study
NCT ID NCT07489469
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an AI scribe could make clinical documentation faster and more accurate than standard dictation templates. Two hundred adults having hip or knee replacement consultations took part. Researchers measured how long surgeons spent on notes, how quickly notes reached family doctors, and patient satisfaction.
