Clinicians should let patients know that an AI tool is being used to help draft notes. They must get explicit consent when the audio is being stored as an audio file, which Kiroku does not do. The legal basis for note-taking itself typically falls under "Direct Care" rather than requiring separate explicit consent, so where audio files are not stored, this is more for the patient's information.
Yes, a person's voice can be used to identify them. Storing raw audio is treated as higher-risk biometric data processing rather than standard clinical note-taking, or using software that only stores the transcript (such as Kiroku).
No, the clinician remains responsible for reviewing and signing off on every AI-generated note, the same as with any note-taking method.
Legally, if audio isn't stored (as with Kiroku), consent isn't required. However, we recommend informing patients as a professional courtesy: "I'm using technology to help with notes - not recording audio, just transcribing what we discuss."
