Private AI for clinics and healthcare centres in Barcelona

Less time typing and more time with the patient: transcription and summaries that stay inside the clinic.

We install an AI in your clinic that transcribes consultations, prepares draft reports, summarises medical records and searches your protocols, all inside your network. Health data is a special category under the GDPR and should not leave it. It does not diagnose: a professional always reviews. We start with a free assessment at your clinic or by video call.

The problem

  • We spend more time typing into the medical record than looking at the patient.
  • There are AI transcription tools, but they send the consultation audio to external servers and we don't know where it ends up.
  • Health data is a special category under the GDPR: a breach would cost us our patients' trust, and the AEPD (Spain's data protection authority) is already issuing fines.
  • Protocols, internal guidelines and consent forms are scattered across folders and nobody can find the latest version.
  • We see patients in Catalan and Spanish, often in the same visit, and not every tool understands both well.

Use cases

  1. 01

    Consultation transcription

    With the patient's consent, the audio is transcribed on the clinic's own machine, speakers are identified and a structured draft is proposed (reason for visit, history, examination, plan), which the professional corrects and validates.

  2. 02

    Medical record summary

    Before the visit, a summary of previous reports, tests and progress, referencing each source document so it can be checked.

  3. 03

    Protocol search

    Questions about the sterilisation protocol, the referral pathway or the current consent form, with the answer citing the document and its version.

  4. 04

    Letters and administrative reports

    Draft reports for health insurers and mutual societies, referral letters or post-treatment instructions in Catalan and Spanish, always reviewed before they are sent.

  5. 05

    Voice messages at reception

    Transcription and summary of patients' voice messages so reception can handle them faster, without the audio leaving the centre.

  6. 06

    Clinical sessions and team meetings

    Transcription and minutes of internal sessions, with decisions and tasks, stored on your server.

The situation in private healthcare in Catalonia

Dental clinics, physiotherapy centres, psychology practices, polyclinics: in Barcelona and its metropolitan area there are hundreds of private centres where professionals end the day typing. AI transcription is already reaching consulting rooms, and Catalonia’s public health system has put it out to tender: CatSalut and the ICS are looking for voice transcription with structured reports in primary care, and they give weight to the open models from the AINA project. The message is clear: local and in Catalan.

The problem for a private clinic is that many solutions on the market send consultation audio to external servers. With health data, which the GDPR treats as a special category, that means trusting a third party with the most sensitive information you hold.

What it looks like day to day

The physiotherapist starts the recording with the patient’s consent. When the session ends, she has an organised draft on screen, which she corrects in a minute before saving it to the record. Before the next visit, the assistant summarises the three previous reports, with a link to each one. At reception, someone asks which version of the consent form for a treatment is current, and the assistant cites it.

Everything runs on a machine inside the clinic: no audio leaves the premises and there is no per-professional fee. We use transcription with speaker identification every day in our Barcelona lab, locally.

What it does not do

It does not diagnose, prescribe or decide. It is a documentation and search tool; clinical responsibility lies with the professional, who reviews every text before it goes into the record. If a tool claims to diagnose, it stops being an assistant and becomes a medical device with its own CE marking. That is not our field, and we say so from the start.

How we deploy it

  1. Assessment. We review the consultation workflow, your medical records software and how you inform patients today. We involve your data protection officer from the outset.
  2. Pilot of 2 to 4 weeks. One or two professionals, one type of visit, real recordings. We measure documentation time before and after, and the quality of the drafts.
  3. Production. More professionals, protocol search, a usage policy, team training and maintenance.

In Catalan, too

Many consultations in Barcelona are held in Catalan, or switch between Catalan and Spanish in the same sentence. We work with transcription and language models that handle both languages, we follow resources from the AINA project and Softcatalà, and we have expanded our models’ Catalan vocabulary: the coverage of the ‘draft’ model that speeds up responses rose from 75.2% to 99.6%. Even so, we test it with your recordings during the pilot.

When you don’t need it

If you only need text templates or appointment reminders with no clinical data, you don’t need an AI server: the software you already use will do it for less.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI make diagnoses?

No. What we install transcribes, summarises, organises and searches information so that the professional can decide. It does not suggest diagnoses or treatments, and every draft is reviewed and signed by a member of the clinical team.

Is it legal to record the consultation in order to transcribe it?

It can be, with clear information for the patient, an appropriate legal basis and security measures, and your data protection officer must approve it. We take care of the technical side: the audio and the text never leave the clinic's machine and are deleted according to the policy you set.

What hardware does the clinic need?

For a small practice, a workstation with a GPU may be enough; if several professionals transcribe at the same time, a compact server inside the clinic. If you already have suitable hardware, we use it. We size it during the free assessment, which we carry out at your Barcelona clinic or by video call.

Does it integrate with our medical records software?

It depends on the software. If it lets you paste or import text, the workflow works from day one; if it has an API, we can integrate it. We check this in the assessment before promising anything.
