Generative AI solutions refer to artificial intelligence systems and algorithms designed to generate content, such as text, images, audio, or video, that is often creative, coherent, and contextually relevant. For instance, in July 2023, Amazon Web Services, a US-based IT service management company, launched a new healthcare-focused service, AWS HealthScribe, powered by generative AI and designed to create clinical documentation automatically. The service uses speech recognition and generative AI to analyze patient-clinician conversations and generate clinical notes, which can expedite documentation turnaround time and improve clinical productivity. Additionally, the service is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) eligible and can be used for telehealth and in-clinic consultations.
