W04: Who’s Talking: Ambient AI Scribes in Pediatric Settings
Presentation Type: Workshop
Who’s Talking: Ambient AI Scribes in Pediatric Settings
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference DEI/Health Equity Presentation
2025 Clinical Informatics Conference 25x5 Presentation
Presentation Time: 08:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Abstract Keywords: Ambient documentation, Care Delivery Models, Consumer and Patient Engagement, Driving Digital Equity
Primary Track: AI and Care Outcomes
Programmatic Theme: Emerging Technology and Technical Infrastructure
Ambient AI scribes have substantial promise for improving care delivery in pediatric settings. However, their integration into pediatric care introduces unique ethical, technical, and implementation challenges that remain underexplored. Pediatric encounters often involve multiple participants in addition to the patient, including caregivers, siblings, and relatives, requiring informed consent from both parties, while ensuring that families are adequately informed about the technology's role and function. Furthermore, the technology must be adept at distinguishing between child, adolescent, and caregiver voices, especially in cases where the patient does not contribute the whole history on their own. Particularly in contexts where adolescents independently seek confidential care—such as for mental health, substance use, or family planning—ambient AI must reliably differentiate sensitive content and manage it appropriately within clinical documentation. Developing robust policies surrounding consent, data storage, transcript access, and confidentiality is critical for ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards. This workshop will convene leading experts in pediatric informatics, healthcare AI, and ethics to address these challenges and explore pathways for effective implementation. Participants will examine the current state of ambient listening technologies in pediatric care, evaluate ethical and technical considerations, and formulate actionable recommendations for advancing pediatric-focused AI solutions. The session is designed for healthcare professionals, AI developers, and policymakers interested in fostering innovation in this emerging field. By enabling an interdisciplinary dialogue, this workshop aims to provide attendees with the knowledge to guide the adoption of equitable, effective, and rigorously tested ambient AI scribes tailored to the health needs of children.
