What is Mirror
Mirror is a medical AI note-taker to help patients remember and act on information from consultations. It is developed by Aide Health, a UK health technology company working with the NHS since 2022.
Mirror listens during medical consultations and then provides a clear, plain-English summary for the patient to refer back to.
Information governance
Patients in the UK have the legal right to record their own consultations for personal use. Unlike covert recordings, Mirror is designed with governance in mind and offers a more secure, transparent alternative.
Audio recordings are encrypted during processing and deleted immediately after the summary is created.
Mirror does not constitute an “official record” and does not replace clinician notes.
Clinicians remain fully responsible for their clinical documentation and decisions.
Aide Health is independently assessed and meets NHS governance and standards of data and cybersecurity, including the NHS Digital Toolkit, Cyber Essentials Plus, DPIA and DTAC.
Benefits to clinicians
Patients retain more of what is discussed, reducing misunderstandings and repeated queries.
Improved medicine adherence and engagement with care plans may reduce avoidable complications and re-attendance.
Mirror complements your consultation without changing your workflow.
