    SINCE September, doctors at SingHealth institutions have been spending more time with patients and less on administrative tasks, thanks to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool called Note Buddy.

    The tool, which summarises patient records and transcribes conversations in real-time, was developed in collaboration with Microsoft under its AI Pinnacle Programme.

    The programme, launched in March, aims to drive AI adoption in Singapore by creating customised, industry-specific solutions for large organisations.
