The exam room used to be sacred space—where undivided attention met patient stories. Now, it's often a battleground between eye contact and endless clicks. Doctors are burning out, not from care, but from clerical chaos. Enter the AI medical scribe: not science fiction, but a practical solution reshaping modern healthcare.
Internists are detectives, educators, care coordinators, and chronic disease managers—all in a single day. But too often, their work is buried under the weight of documentation. Every encounter demands detailed notes, thoughtful plans, and bulletproof coding. It's no wonder that internal medicine sees some of the highest burnout rates in healthcare.

Endless administrative tasks, especially clinical documentation, are pulling doctors away from what truly matters patient care. A growing body of research shows that the burden of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data entry is one of the top contributors to physician dissatisfaction.
