Prescripto

Inspiration

Medical professionals spend significant time documenting patient interactions, often leading to burnout and reduced focus on patient care. Additionally, language barriers create significant challenges in healthcare, preventing patients from fully understanding diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatment plans. We wanted to streamline this process by creating an AI-powered tool that not only live transcribes and summarizes doctor-patient conversations in real-time but also provides accurate, real-time translation to ensure clear communication regardless of language differences. By enhancing accessibility and efficiency, we aim to improve the quality of care for diverse patient populations.
