How AI can help optimise the use of consultation time to ensure enough time is left for empathy

Empathy is a crucial part of medicine: listening to the other person, paying attention to their needs, expressing the feeling of compassion and responding in a manner that the other person knows they were understood. Can AI help doctors to be more empathic and bring back face time in consultations by reaching screen time?

In settings where consultation time is becoming a luxury, AI can help optimise the use of consultation time to ensure enough time is left for empathy.
