Time Savings Through an AI Speech Assistant for Nursing Documentation: Pre-Post Time-Motion Study in German Long-Term Care

Abstract

This study provides real-world evidence from a single-group pre-post design that an AI-based speech assistant is associated with reduced documentation workload in long-term care. In this sample, the integration of a mobile, domain-specific speech system into daily workflows coincided with substantially decreased documentation time and improved perceived efficiency. Beyond these observed time savings, such technology has the potential to alleviate workload, free time for resident care, and enhance working conditions. These findings are also relevant for policy discussions on addressing the nursing workforce shortage, showing that well-integrated, speech-enabled documentation systems can support more sustainable long-term care environments.
