Caire is an AI-powered assistant designed to automate medical reporting. Using real-time speech-to-text and a fine-tuned LLM, it extracts medically relevant information and generates structured reports.

Our team receiving the 2nd place award at the TUM.ai Makeathon (April 2023).

The Problem

In modern healthcare, nurses spend a significant portion of their shifts on manual documentation rather than patient care. This problem is exacerbated when language barriers exist between the patient and the nursing staff, leading to potentially critical information gaps and increased administrative burden.

Our Solution: Caire

Caire is an AI-powered assistant designed to automate medical reporting. The app follows a simple yet powerful pipeline:

  1. Speech-to-Text: Using OpenAI’s Whisper, we transcribe medical consultations or patient check-ins in real-time.
  2. Entity Extraction: A fine-tuned LLM parses the transcript to extract medically relevant information (symptoms, medication, patient history).
  3. Structured Reporting: The system automatically generates a structured medical report in the patient’s and hospital’s primary languages.
The Caire User Interface: Streamlined workflows for nurse admission and patient check-ins.

Success at TUM.ai Makeathon

Out of dozens of participating teams, Caire was awarded 2nd Place in the overall competition. The judges highlighted the solution’s feasibility and its potential for immediate impact in hospital workflows.
