Biomedical engineering students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed OpScribe-AI to assist surgeons [1]. This agentic AI tool automates post-operative reporting and ICD-10 coding [2]. The system creates structured clinical documentation by analyzing surgical video feeds [1]. The project aims to reduce the heavy administrative load currently facing medical professionals [2]. Surgeons often spend hours manually charting details after each operation [1]. OpScribe-AI streamlines this process to help prevent physician burnout [2].
