Patient informed consent to the use of ambient intelligence tools

MEDvidi, in collaboration with your provider, is using certain artificial intelligence (AI) enabled ambient listening (ambient intelligence) tools to support our providers when providing care to you.

What are ambient intelligence tools?

Ambient intelligence tools use AI to “listen” to clinical conversations during your provider visit and write draft notes or summaries of the visit in real-time – similar to if a nurse were in the room taking notes for your provider. This helps providers focus more on you, the patient, instead of entering information into the computer during your visit. Some ambient intelligence tools do other activities to help support providers while they make diagnoses or decisions regarding your care and treatment.

How will it affect you?

You will not know the ambient intelligence tool is being used; you will not interact with it. The ambient intelligence tool will be working behind the scenes to draft a clinical note or summary of your encounter for your provider to review after your visit. This allows the provider to focus more of their time and attention on you during your visit, rather than documenting what occurs during your visit.

How do ambient intelligence tools impact the privacy and security of your health information?

MEDvidi assures you that your privacy is our utmost priority and that MEDvidi keeps your health information private and secure at all times. MEDvidi complies with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (HIPAA).

Who do you contact with additional questions?

If you have any questions about ambient intelligence, or this consent form, please contact customer support or ask your provider.
