HackMIT Healthcare Track 2025
An intelligent multi-agent system that automates clinical documentation, generates SOAP notes, and enhances patient communication giving physicians their time back while improving healthcare delivery.
Healthcare providers spend 60-70% of their time on administrative tasks, with doctors averaging 2-3 hours daily on transcription and documentation. This $30B+ annual burden reduces patient face-time, increases physician burnout, and degrades the overall healthcare experience.
Hospital Validation: We spoke directly with Chiefs of IT at major regional hospitals who confirmed this is their #1 operational pain point and are actively seeking solutions like Scribe for integration.
Scribe transforms clinical workflows through a sophisticated multi-agent AI system that:
- Transcribes conversations in real-time with medical context
- Generates structured SOAP notes automatically
- Handles patient communication and follow-up scheduling
- Ensures HIPAA compliance throughout the process
- Integrates with existing EHR systems seamlessly
-
Frontend: Next.js 14, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
