Problem
Currently, therapists devote a substantial portion of their time to indirect client activities, specifically creating extensive reports and notes that comprehensively capture each child’s progress. For every minute spent with a client, clinicians invest up to two minutes in crafting these crucial documents. Although essential, this process proves time-consuming and diverts valuable resources away from direct care.
Solution
The solution lies in building and training a Large Language Model (LLM), the form of artificial intelligence on which ChatGPT is built upon. By training an LLM on historical data, and generating transcriptions of sessions with clinicians, we can autonomously create detailed notes and assessment reports ready for clinician review. This AI tool is designed to streamline documentation tasks , while upholding the high-quality standards expected by families, clinicians, and other stakeholders.
Through the integration of such technology into their workflows, KidsAbility aims to significantly reduce the time therapists spend on administrative tasks. This will enable clinicians to spend more time directly with clients. This ground-breaking project exemplifies KidsAbility’s commitment to harnessing technology for the betterment of the children and families we serve.
KidsAbility has also partnered with the University of Guelph to assess the privacy, ethical, and regulatory implications associated with designing and implementing LLMs within pediatric rehab settings. The findings from this research will be published in early 2025.
