What this means for you

Too thin to act on: the report names no vendor, no model and no description of the error, so there is no system to check or flag. If you buy or run scribe software, nothing here distinguishes one product from another.

An AI medical scribe recorded a patient's first appointment with a urologist and made an error that ABC News reports left her devastated. She is named in the account as Rebecca Green and was asked whether she consented to the AI listening in. The available text does not say what the scribe got wrong, what it changed about her care, or which company supplied it; the record is a short abstract in the AI Incident Database, which catalogues the story as incident 1695 and links to the ABC article.
