Abstract: While clinical notes are essential to the field of healthcare, they pose several challenges for clinicians since it is difficult to write down medical information, review prior notes, and extract the desired information at the same time while examining a patient. Thus, we designed a system that can automatically generate clinical notes from dialogues between patients and clinicians and provide specific information upon clinicians’ query using a Large Language Model (LLM) both in real-time. To explore how this system can be used to support clinicians in practice, we conducted an interview with six clinicians followed by a design probe study with the current version of our system for feedback. Findings suggest that our system has the potential to enable clinicians to write and access clinical notes and examine the patients simultaneously with reduced cognitive loads and increased efficiency and accuracy.
