AI ‘supervisor’ bot that can review your patient consults wins RACGP Hackathon
Teams spent three days working on technological fixes to everyday GP problems.
An AI bot that reviews GP patient cases, provides feedback to the doctor and then logs it as CPD hours has won the RACGP’s annual Hackathon.
The event, where teams spend three days working on technological fixes to everyday GP problems, includes a $60,000 cash prize for the winners.
This year, it went to team ‘Debrief’: GPs Dr Melanie Smith, Dr Hamish Graham, Dr Anita Manger and Dr Yasumitsu Takao; software engineer Sajinthan Janahiram; and entrepreneur Dr Silvia Pfeiffer (PhD).
Based on the GP’s consultation notes, their AI ‘supervisor’ would ask the GP questions about the day’s cases and generate insights into potential blind spots, areas for improvement and other education the doctor could do.
