Gesundheit: „Eine Milliarde Stunden zurückgeben“: Diese Firma entlastet Ärzte mit KI bei der Dokumentation

In Berlin, the documentation of patient conversations consumes a significant amount of time for doctors on a daily basis. The Swedish AI company Tandem Health has developed a system that records such conversations using iPads, laptops, or microphones, transcribes them, and generates notes and documents from them. The medical AI assistant also answers questions from doctors based on medical guidelines and the patient's history.

Tandem Health aims to "return a billion hours" to healthcare professionals, allowing physicians and nursing staff to spend less time on paperwork and more time with their patients, says company founder and co-founder Lukas Saari to the Handelsblatt. The clinical support software has now been certified as a Class IIa medical device, thus meeting the requirements of the EU Medical Device Regulation.

However, Saari has bigger plans: Tandem intends to become "the operating system of a clinic in the age of AI." There are clear arguments for a European market leader, particularly in the healthcare sector.
