Hospital AI adoption remains uneven, from speech-to-text to unrendered forms

A hospital example shows uneven technology diffusion: doctors were using speech-to-text tools for notes, and patients received text messages about their position in the queue. However, some forms for electronic signatures did not render properly on iOS Safari.

The example suggests that better automation of paperwork could give doctors more time with patients. It also predicts that AI agents may soon handle questionnaires, documents, and signatures through messaging platforms such as iMessage, although the timing and the systems involved remain unspecified.
