Leveraging Sunoh.ai for Telehealth to Improve Patient/Provider Experiences

Imagine a world in which millions of people could purchase goods and services, order meals, arrange travel, make appointments, socialize, and find healthcare services with the click of a button — and without ever leaving their homes.

It’s easy to forget how remarkable this convenience really is. Obviously, those are all realities for a growing number of people in today’s world. Leveraging the power of telecommunications to simplify daily transactions is one of the defining features of our age.

But the rate at which these realities have arrived is startling, and the world we imagined above would have been a complete fantasy a generation or two ago. And it takes a bit of imagination to grasp just how different the 2020s are from the 1920s.

But it wasn’t, perhaps, quite as different as we might think. Telehealth was nothing like today’s videoconferencing, but it did exist, albeit in a very rudimentary form. Even as early as 1928, doctors in Australia used radio to reach remote patients — a primitive version of what we now call telehealth.

It took many advances in technology, some legislation, and a global pandemic to get us to where we are today.

The COVID-19 pandemic challenged health systems worldwide, but one of the benefits that emerged from that difficult time was the realization that telehealth can and should play a larger role in medical systems around the globe. AI medical scribes can help address clinician shortages by streamlining documentation and enabling providers to serve more patients remotely.

And as interesting as the history of telehealth has been, the near future is likely to deliver even greater surprises and results.

According to Grand View Research, a consultancy based in India and the U.S., the worldwide telehealth market will see 17.8% compounded annual growth through 2030. That means millions more humans connecting by phone and video conferencing technologies to meet at least some of their healthcare needs.

Imagine combining AI-powered medical scribes with telehealth. Together, they unlock a new level of efficiency and access.

AI scribes help providers by relieving them of the burden of note taking during their patient encounters. They create clinically accurate drafts of progress notes that give medical professionals a big jump on their daily paperwork.

AI medical scribes are designed specifically to support clinicians by enabling more efficient workflows and alleviating documentation burdens.

And some providers have already put these two critical pieces of the patient care puzzle together, deploying an AI medical scribe in conjunction with a telehealth visit to realize even greater gains in efficiency — saving time and money for providers and patients alike.

Case study: How MedPeds, LLC leverages Sunoh.ai

MedPeds, LLC, a practice serving adult and pediatric patients in and around Laurel, Maryland, found that streamlining the clinical documentation process with Sunoh.ai allowed the organization to spend more time and energy focusing on its patients, improving its quality of care while reducing burnout among staff.

“Implementing Sunoh.ai is so easy. It’s a very simple onboarding process for the practice and our providers,” said Dr. Seth Eaton. “The integration of Sunoh.ai in our workflows is key to saving time and improving workflow for clinicians. Sunoh is preferable to other ambient listening technology in that way, especially given the ease of use at the point of care and the improved patient experience.”

MedPeds prides itself on innovation, including adopting Electronic Health Records more than 20 years ago, and keeping up to date with the latest solutions in every area of healthcare IT.

That’s why the practice adopted healow TeleVisits™, which improves access to care and reduces time spent traveling by allowing patients to enjoy their routine, follow-up, and check-in visits from any place with a suitable internet connection.

Most recently, the practice combined TeleVisits with Sunoh.ai, allowing them to greatly expand the range of their care while giving patients the power to have their physician’s appointments in any setting they like. This combination enhances the practice’s ability to deliver higher-quality care and manage documentation more efficiently.

Key benefits of implementing an AI medical scribe

Saving time on clinical documentation

Many providers using Sunoh.ai save so much time—an average of 2 hours daily—on clinical documentation, which allows them to put their hours to better use — focusing more closely on patient care, seeing more patients, or improving work/life balance by not taking work home in the evenings.

By saving so much time, clinicians can be more productive and increase their focus on patient care, leading to better outcomes and less stress.

Improving quality and accuracy of documentation

AI medical scribes such as Sunoh understand medical terminology and can handle a wide range of accents and intonations. Sunoh.ai generates highly accurate draft Progress Notes by capturing every word and important detail during patient encounters, ensuring that all relevant information is included. Clinicians can review the generated notes to confirm that all details have been accurately captured, making necessary modifications to finalize comprehensive clinical documentation.

Improving patient/provider experiences

Reduced administrative burdens mean providers have more time to connect with their patients, making eye contact rather than staring at a computer screen or keyboard. With no need to worry about charting, providers can have more meaningful patient visits and feel more at peace and present during each patient visit, experiencing less stress and greater satisfaction in their workflow.

Gaining “pajama time”

About half of U.S. physicians report symptoms of burnout. By reducing the time providers spend on documentation — a key driver of burnout — many are enjoying the practice of medicine again.

Physicians often complete charts late at night—what many call ‘pajama time.’ AI scribes like Sunoh.ai help reduce this after-hours burden. There are many times when AI medical scribes are especially valuable, such as during busy periods or when providers would otherwise be working after hours.

Improved patient outcomes

Streamlined documentation supports providers’ decision-making for selecting treatment options, ensuring they have as complete a picture of each case as possible. Sunoh.ai ensures that important information such as medications, labs, and imaging results are included in the documentation, supporting better clinical decisions and outcomes. That in turn can help promote better patient outcomes.

Why is Sunoh.ai the go-to AI medical scribe?

In a recent 2025 eClinicalWorks poll , nearly half of respondents using AI have adopted Sunoh.ai medical scribe, with more than 75% of users reporting at least some improvement in documentation time and 60% reporting savings between one and four hours on documentation each day.

In a world filled with advanced technologies capable of generating clinically accurate notes and transcripts of patient/provider conversations, that is a number that can and must be reduced.
