Plaintiffs say transcription tool processed confidential chats offsite.

Several Californians sued Sutter Health and MemorialCare this week over allegations that an AI transcription tool was used to record them without their consent, in violation of state and federal law. The proposed class-action lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in federal court in San Francisco, states that, within the past six months, the plaintiffs received medical care at various Sutter and MemorialCare facilities. During those visits, medical staff used Abridge AI. According to the complaint, this system “captured and processed their confidential physician-patient communications. Plaintiffs did not receive clear notice that their medical conversations would be recorded by an artificial intelligence platform, transmitted outside the clinical setting, or processed through third-party systems.” Read full article Comments

LCCN Staff Report Patients living along the 605 corridor now have access to advanced artificial intelligence-assisted spine surgery technology at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center, where surgeons are using new imaging and navigation systems designed to improve precision and safety during complex spinal procedures.

The suit, first spotted by Ars Technica, claims that the companies used software developed by Abridge AI, sometimes dubbed an “ambient clinical documentation” system.
