How an AI-scribe tool is giving veterinarians their time back

Broby is an AI-powered medical scribe developed by SP Diploma in Business Administration students, Caleb Yap Keane Yang and Kuramochi Hyuga, to assist veterinarians with administrative work. The tool transcribes and summarises vet consultations in real time, supporting multiple languages, dialects, and accents, including Singlish, to address the limitations of generic transcription tools. Veterinarians typically spend up to 40 hours a month on paperwork, reducing time with patients and increasing stress. Broby automates documentation, allowing vets to save time, see more patients, and reduce burnout, ultimately improving quality of care. The AI adapts to each vet’s workflow and abbreviations, learning from repeated use. The developers highlighted privacy and security, ensuring compliance with PDPA standards, encrypting all data, and not using it for AI training. Broby is currently used by vets in Singapore and Malaysia, with plans to expand after refining the product. Future features include a disease dashboard to track local trends and a differential diagnostic tool to support clinical decision-making without replacing the vet’s judgment. The project began as a student initiative with no IT background, requiring self-learning, mentorship, and problem-solving, demonstrating both technical and entrepreneurial growth.
