Denver – Artificial intelligence is silently transforming the way doctors interact with patients, and could already be in use during their next visit to the doctor’s office.
Thousands of doctors worldwide are using a form of the so -called ambient listening, show show. This technology listens to conversations between doctors and patients, creates real -time transcripts and then compile detailed clinical notes, all without interrupting the flow of the appointment.
Dr. Daniel Kortsch, associate chief of artificial intelligence and digital health at Denver Health, said that environmental listening technology has made a big difference since its practice began using it in the autumn of 2024.
What is AI?
“The medical-patient interaction really changes, so they can actually speak and be human,” Kortsch told Fox News.

In Denver Health, doctors used an AI nabla tool. With just one click, it begins to transcribe the Doctor conversation with a patient – Even admitting multiple languages, according to Kortsch. After the visit, it generates a summary that can be added to the patient’s medical record.
This innovation of medical care comes at a critical moment. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the United States faces a projected scarcity from 57,000 to 72,000 doctors this year, which increases workloads and contributes to the supplier’s exhaustion.
How AI is revolutionizing the world of medicine
“We saw that our suppliers who used Nabla were working less at home. They had less ‘pajama time’,” said Kortsch, referring to the time the doctors spent at home in pajamas, writing on their computers.
For patients who can be skeptical with AI, technological companies emphasize that doctors maintain total control, and that there is a system of controls and balances between doctors and AI devices that write summaries of patients.

“Ultimately, the doctor still has 100% control of what happens and making sure … in fact, it is the right thing that should be happening for the patient,” Kenneth Harper, Dragon Dragon Chief based in Microsoft, told Fox News with Microsoft headquarters, a medical AI provider.

There are currently 600 medical care organizations, in Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Texas and Pennsylvania, using Dragon Copilot, Microsoft’s environmental listening technology, according to a company spokesman.

The “promotes the welfare of the clinician, increases efficiency and improves the results of suppliers and patients through their fast, precise, safe and intuitive speech and environmental abilities,” according to Microsoft.

While AI is relieving the workload for suppliers, Kortsch said patients are also benefiting from a more direct participation during visits.
Looking towards the future, Kortsch said that Denver Health plans to continue expanding the use of this technology beyond doctors. The training is underway for nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and physiotherapists, which leads to the benefits of environmental AI even more parts of the health system.

“People become doctors not because they want to write notes and complete paperwork,” he said. “It’s because they want that interaction, and environmental AI is given.”

It is projected that the United States will face a shortage of up to 86,000 doctors by 2036, according to an estimate of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
