Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called Heidi, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. This AI tool, it’s supposed to be some kind of medical scribe, like a digital assistant for doctors. I heard about it from somewhere, it said “Heidi Free AI Medical Scribe Your AI Resident,” and I thought, why not give it a shot?
First thing I did was poke around to see what other folks were saying about it. Found a bunch of reviews, something about a “TrustScore 4.8” and over 400 reviews. One doctor, a Dr. Shelagh A. Fraser, was quoted saying, “We’re really being present. Patients love it!” Sounds promising, right? So, I dug a little deeper.
This Heidi thing, it’s not just about taking notes. It claims to handle insurance stuff and finding results, too. It says, “Heidi is the ambient clinical AI that frees you up from note-taking, insurance-pleading, results-finding.” Like it is doing everything, an all-in-one deal. I even stumbled upon some random real estate listing – “2521 E Heidi Loop, Flagstaff, AZ 86004” – probably not related, but you never know where these internet rabbit holes will lead you. There was also some info about “Equality 7-2521” and “how is equality 7-2521’s name ironic?”. I don’t know what any of that is, but it seemed to pop up a lot when I was searching for Heidi. I guess it is a popular name or something.
Anyway, back to this AI. I started playing around with it, just feeding it some basic info to see what it would do. It’s pretty good at understanding what I’m saying, even when I’m not using fancy medical jargon. It’s like talking to a real person, almost. And it’s fast, like, really fast. It spits out notes and summaries in no time. The general feel I get from using it is pretty good. It seems like it has the potential to save doctors a lot of time. It’s like, imagine not having to type up all those patient notes after every visit. That’s a game-changer.
Here’s how I went about testing it:
- Inputting Data: I started by giving it some basic patient information, just like a doctor would during a regular check-up. Things like symptoms, medical history, that sort of stuff.
- Observing the Output: Then I watched what it did with that information. It organized it, summarized it, and even made some educated guesses about what might be going on.
- Checking for Accuracy: I compared the output to what I expected, just to make sure it was on the right track. I mean, it’s an AI, so you gotta double-check these things.
- Playing with Features: I messed around with all the different features, like the insurance stuff and the results-finding thing. Just trying to get a feel for how it all works.
My overall impression? It’s pretty slick. I can see why doctors would be into this. It’s like having a super-efficient assistant that never gets tired. It is kinda cool, I have to admit. The whole AI thing is still a bit mind-blowing to me, but this Heidi thing, it feels like a practical application of all that technology. It seems like there are a lot of people out there who are loving this thing. I even saw a comment somewhere that said, “Heidi has looked so good all season.” Maybe they were talking about something else, but it gave me a chuckle.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s my experience with Heidi. It’s a neat piece of tech. It’s not perfect, obviously, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. I mean, if it can make doctors’ lives easier, and maybe even improve patient care, that’s a win-win, right? I don’t know what the future of this technology is, but this Heidi thing, I think, is just the beginning of something huge.
