Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex has published a new set of resources to support conversations with patients about ambient voice technology (AVT) in healthcare appointments.

The patient video explains what AVT is and how it may be used. It also explains how AVT can reduce admin work, so clinicians can focus more on the patient.

The video answers common questions from patients. These include how clinicians check notes, how information is handled securely and what the benefit is to using AVT.

People panels across Sussex and Kent helped to co-design the video. To support digital inclusion, it will be available in commonly spoken languages across Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
