07:30 AM EDT, 10/09/2024 (MT Newswires) -- WELL Health Technologies ( WHTCF ) on Wednesday said the final report from the AI Scribe Evaluation Study, conducted by OntarioMD, a subsidiary of the Ontario Medical Association, has been published.

The study involved testing several AI scribes, including WELL's AI Voice (WAIV) solution, with 152 primary care providers across the province. It showed the technology's effectiveness in cutting administrative burdens on primary care providers who reported a more than 70% reduction in time spent on patient encounter documentation.

"The positive findings from this study underscore the value of AI scribes for easing the burden on physicians. Building on this success, our next step is to deepen the integration of WAIV, WELL's own AI scribe solution, with electronic medical record software," said WELL Chief Operating Officer Amier Javidan. "By embedding WAIV directly into physicians' workflows, we can unlock greater value for healthcare providers, making a real difference in their day-to-day operations and ultimately improving patient outcomes."
