| contents | Physicians spend nearly half their workday on EHR tasks and administrative work, contributing to burnout and reducing time for direct patient care. We present MDwAIstScheduler, a low-cost, belt-worn voice assistant that allows hands-free calendar management during patient encounters. Hidden beneath a lab coat, the device avoids the eye-contact disruptions caused by visible screens or wrist-worn devices. Running on a Raspberry Pi with cloud-based speech recognition and LLM intent extraction, the system lets clinicians simply say 'Schedule a follow-up with Mr. Smith next Tuesday at 2' and automatically creates the calendar event. Our demo show-cases this end-to-end pipeline. |
