Over and over throughout the years I’ve had patients (or usually family members) talking to me during encounters while awkwardly holding their phones; obviously trying to film or record me. Apple just announced today that their new series 12 watch can passively record all meetings or conversations and store summaries or transcripts (though it won’t store the actual audio). This is only going to get more and more common.
I know this will help many patients as they don’t retain everything during an encounter and would like a recap, but I always worry about the people who use this maliciously. Plus, when I’m being recorded I start getting more self conscious and trip over my words more.
What do you do in your practice?
