Kiwi GPs can\u00a0benefit\u00a0from an artificial intelligence tool available from\u00a023 February\u00a02026, providing context-aware patient summaries and automated clinical documentation fully integrated with Medtech Evolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Medtech Global has launched Medtech AI in New Zealand, a comprehensive AI platform that integrates directly with its Medtech Evolution practice management software (PMS).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike standalone transcription tools that treat each consultation as an isolated episode, Medtech AI\u00a0synthesises\u00a0a patient’s medical history from the PMS to provide clinicians with a complete view before, during and after consultations, addressing the issue of \u2018information overload\u2019 in healthcare settings.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Introducting<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping clinicians in control\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

GP Tim Ross says, \u201cpaperwork is frustrating for most clinicians, spending too much time on documentation, too much time searching for information and not enough time just face to face engaging with the patient.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis functionality puts the information you need in front of you while you can get on with consulting.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new platform generates structured consultation notes, referral letters, and clinical correspondence.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chrissie Patterson, Medtech general\u00a0manager\u00a0product, says Medtech AI keeps clinicians in control by supporting clinical judgment rather than replacing it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to enhance efficiency and care quality by using AI to intelligently surface the relevant information at the right time, streamline documentation, and support clinical workflows in real time,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery output is reviewed and approved by the clinician to ensure accuracy, accountability, and trust.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patterson says reduced documentation time is estimated to save between six to eight minutes per consultation, helping to prevent clinician burnout.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A complete patient view\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lawrence Peterson, Medtech general manager integration and infrastructure, says, “direct integration into the patient record ensures that data is not extracted from the PMS or stored elsewhere, but is processed in line at the time of consultation with patient consent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUpdates are then recorded directly back into the PMS. Nothing sensitive is stored externally, and all consultation data, including the patient details, consultation summary, and\u00a0transcription\u00a0is\u00a0deleted from the partner product at the conclusion of the\u00a0consultation.”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The integration with Medtech Evolution allows the platform to provide a central dashboard displaying a patient\u2019s recent consultation notes, current medications, conditions, allergies,\u00a0immunisations, and screenings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For patients with extensive medical histories, the system\u00a0synthesises\u00a0information within around 20 seconds, presenting top-level summaries while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0access to detailed records.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt works on both web browsers and mobile applications, allowing clinicians to conduct consultations away from their computers while maintaining full integration with the Medtech Evolution PMS,\u201d says Peterson.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA time-poor clinician does not want to be reading through 20 pages of notes to get a snapshot of what has happened with this patient.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinicians review and approve all AI-generated content before it writes back to the\u00a0PMS\u00a0and the platform includes custom prompts and templates\u00a0organised\u00a0by medical specialty.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Better patient understanding\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Medtech AI\u00a0provides\u00a0patient insights including health literacy levels, sentiment analysis, and emotional engagement during consultations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt turns clinical conversations into structured information, actionable insights, and even patient sentiment is being recorded and\u00a0captured\u00a0so you understand how much your patient may have understood their interaction with you today,\u201d Patterson explains.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These metrics help\u00a0determine\u00a0how consultation summaries should be written for individual patients, with the system automatically adjusting the language it uses based on assessed health literacy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know patients do not always remember what they are told in a consult due to a variety of reasons, including being sick, health anxiety, lack of health literacy, or that they are not good auditory learners,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The system can send health literacy-adjusted consultation summaries to patients via email, including calendar links for follow-up appointments and access to New Zealand health resources through\u00a0Healthify\u00a0sites.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Evolving and innovating\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Medtech Global chief executive Jeremy van de\u00a0Klundert\u00a0says the company has taken a measured approach to AI integration,\u00a0prioritising\u00a0data\u00a0security\u00a0and clinical accuracy by embedding AI capabilities directly into the Medtech Evolution PMS.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0emphasises\u00a0that Medtech AI supports rather than replaces clinical judgement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapidly evolving AI landscape is both challenging and promising.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an incredibly fast-changing\u00a0world\u00a0and we believe 2026 will see huge advancements in this area.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
