Building an AI that listens to doctor-patient consultations and writes medical notes automatically – Our journey with Voxmed
Hey indie hackers! 👋
I wanted to share the journey behind Voxmed, our AI-based healthtech project built here in Brazil.
🎯 The problem we’re solving:
Doctors spend hours every week typing patient notes and filling out medical records. It's time-consuming, prone to errors, and reduces face-to-face time with patients.
We talked to dozens of doctors and heard the same complaint over and over again.
🛠️ The solution:
We built Voxmed, an AI tool that listens to doctor-patient consultations and generates structured medical notes automatically.
Our stack:
Next.js + Vercel for the front-end
Node.js for backend processing
Speech-to-Text APIs for voice recognition
OpenAI's ChatGPT API to organize and rewrite clinical summaries in a human-like, readable format
Custom NLP models to handle medical language nuances
🚀 Where we are today:
Launched a freemium model (10 free consultations for doctors)
Started collecting feedback from real users (some paying clients coming soon!)
Working on improving accuracy and UX before scaling
✅ Lessons learned so far:
Talk to users way earlier than you feel ready
Launch before you’re comfortable
AI hallucination in healthcare is a real challenge (we're still fine-tuning prompts and guardrails)
If you’re building something with AI in healthcare, or SaaS products for B2B, would love to connect and swap insights!
