Voice recording for note taking?
Hey all, quick bit of context: I work rural EMS and typically run w/ a 2 person BLS crew and call for ALS as needed. In my area its common that if ALS is needed on a scene to assist with a PNB or otherwise extra complicated call, we can spend a solid 30-45 minutes working on scene before advanced care arrives. I had a recent call that fit this description and my partner and I were the only trained responders there until paramedics arrived after we worked for about 22 minutes, patient needed constant airway management, ROSC was achieved early and maintained until we began transport. That said with 2 sets of hands we really didn't take quality notes and have been talking about ways to improve our on scene documentation when we are short hands.
Has anyone had any experience with any of the AI assisted voice recording hardware out there? It seems like a lot of them interface with smartphones, which we carry on our rigs so no ones personal phone is every being used. Plaud AI looks promising but I'm not seeing any examples of these devices being used successfully in a busy/ loud/ outdoor environment. Privacy issues are a concern too and I am unfamiliar with current guidance around AI and HIPAA since there would be data being transferred over unsecured networks. It seems like there are some talk to text solutions specifically for clinical settings that are HIPAA compliant but don't seem like they would fit into field work as well.
Any thoughts?
