Notes of my AI psychiatry therapy


 

Robert Scoble: I volunteered to have a 30 minute psychiatry session with psychiatrist Dr. Joann Mundin. She was using a new system from Savantcare that takes notes, then strips them of personally identifying information, and sends them to OpenAI's GPT, which then pulls out detailed notes that match what a human psychiatrist is taught to write on each patient, so that mental conditions could be tracked over time. Here we look at those notes (these were made after just a single 30 minute conversation) and think about what it means and how AI is changing mental health practices. https://www.savantcare.com

At SavantCare, innovation, expertise, and transformation aren’t mere buzzwords. They are fundamental elements of our approach to mental health treatment – and along with our commitment to clinical excellence, they are integrated into everything we do.

Our practice exists because of our founders’ belief that every human being deserves access to high-quality mental health care, and no one is beyond our ability to help. We offer clinically sophisticated, evidence-based treatment in a safe, welcoming environment. Our comprehensive support, personalized care plans, and focus on renewed hope set us apart.

While society has reduced the stigma around mental illness, many struggling with complex conditions still feel they have no place. By the time they arrive at SavantCare, most patients have felt profound isolation, having given up hope of ever belonging or being understood.

Here, they find that place. They join a vibrant community where those once overlooked are welcomed and celebrated—not merely accepted—for who they are. It is a place where they discover their worth and their right to compassion, friendship, and respect.

Guided by an unrelenting desire to maximize quality of life, our team meets patients where they are. We help identify realistic goals, then provide innovative services and specialized support to realize their greatest potential – whether battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other concerns...

Moral Injury in U.S. Health Care: Beyond Burnout in the Age of COVID-19

Moral Injury in U.S. Health Care: The Ethical Wounds Behind Burnout Understanding How Systemic Pressures and the COVID-19 Pandemic Deepen Clinicians’ Moral Distress In recent years, doctors and nurses have reported high levels of exhaustion and cynicism – traditionally labeled “burnout” statnews.com – but many experts now argue that this misses the core problem. Instead, a deeper moral injury is at work. Moral injury occurs when clinicians are repeatedly forced to act against their professional and personal values, leaving them with guilt, shame, and a sense of betrayal  statnews.com   pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov . This article explores moral injury – a term borrowed from military psychology – and explains how business pressures, staffing shortages, electronic bureaucracy, and especially the COVID-19 crisis have created ethical conflicts in U.S. medicine. We contrast moral injury with burnout, review evidence of its prevalence and harm, and examine proposed responses to heal...

Why Seniors Should Record Their Doctor Visits

Research Snapshot: How Much Do Seniors Forget? General Findings Patients forget 40–80% of information shared by healthcare providers immediately after a visit—and nearly half of what is remembered can be inaccurate PubMed Central . One classic study reported that patients forgot 56% of their instructions just minutes after leaving the clinic PubMed Central . In another study, only 49% of medical decisions and recommendations were recalled accurately without prompting; prompts helped recall about 36% more , leaving 15% of information incorrectly remembered or forgotten altogether AARP   PLOS . Age-Related Recall Decline Episodic memory (like remembering what the doctor said) declines with age. Studies show a moderate inverse relationship between age and recall, meaning older adults correctly remember significantly less verbal information PubMed Central . Specifically, “older-old” adults (roughly age 80+) recall fewer medication instructions than “younger-ol...
