Your medical provider might be recording your mental health care visits
Mental health professionals at Kaiser Permanente are concerned about an AI tool called Abridge that records entire medical appointments, including mental health sessions, without fully disclosing data handling practices to patients or providers. The tool requires patient consent but does not explain how recordings are stored, accessed, or protected, leading to provider frustrations and calls for greater transparency.
