🌐 We loved presenting at the Out-Of-Pocket Gen AI x Healthcare Ops Hackathon. Our very own Davis Liang, Staff Machine Learning Scientist, demoed Abridge and spoke about the importance of multilinguality in health tech. 🗣️ Did you know? •Over 350 languages are spoken in the United States. •20% of Americans speak two or more languages. •More than 11% of patients in California-licensed hospitals prefer to speak Spanish (CA Dept. Healthcare Access to Information, 2021). Yet, multilingual performance remains a significant challenge today, even for state-of-the-art models like GPT-4 (The Belebele Benchmark. Bandarkar et al. ACL 2024). Tokenizations are often biased towards English, making it more expensive and less efficient for languages like Arabic, Hindi, and Chinese. Davis also discussed ways we can start tackling this issue: •Leverage both English and non-English data for training. •Consider up-weighted sampling of important languages during training. •Increase rank for parameter efficient fine-tuning on multilingual data. •Construct intelligent multilingual vocabularies (XLM-V. Liang et al. EMNLP 2023). At Abridge, we care deeply about multilingual performance. Our speech recognition is tuned to handle medical conversations across 14+ languages, coping with cross-talk, background noise, and an evolving landscape of maladies, medications, and practice patterns.

What do OpenNotes, Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) and Abridge all have in common? They share a mission to eliminate #epistemicinjustice by ensuring access to health information through medical records. Yesterday at #HealthImpact in New York, we saw this mission in action on a panel with Cait DesRoches, DrPH MSc & Chethan Sarabu, MD, FAMIA, FAAP, from OpenNotes, Shahid Shah from Unblock Health, Brian Anderson, MD from Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), and Tina Shah MD MPH from Abridge.

This episode was a special one. Having used Abridge during my clinical days, I know this tool can improve the quality of life of clinicians who are often faced with mounds of open encounters at the end of a busy week. For all of us who didn't want the computer screen to negatively effect the patient experience, the ability for conversations to become #data and shift focus back to clinical work will improve overall #clinician #wellbeing as well. Thanks to my co-host, Saul Marquez, and Shivdev Rao for sharing your wisdom with us. Listen to learn more about the heartwarming user feedback Shiv shared with us. Healthline Media Outcomes Rocket
