   4 outlets · first: portnews.com.au Health IT

   Machine summary irrigator.com.au reports that a Digital Rights Watch report raises concerns about the privacy and safety of vulnerable patients as Australian doctors increasingly use AI scribes for medical note-taking. The report said four out of 10 general practitioners use AI scribes, that transcription was less accurate for patients with non-English accents or minority backgrounds, and that consent was often handled hurriedly or skipped.
