Anthropic tests Penlight for live clinical transcripts and AI research

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Anthropic is testing Penlight, a hidden Claude product built for clinicians.
It records patient visits, streams audio into live speaker-aware transcripts, and supports parallel chat during appointments.
Penlight also surfaces medical research details, including PubMed-linked articles, to aid in-visit decision-making.
The unfinished interface looks like a standalone Claude experience with session management and active recording controls.
Overall, it points to Anthropic pushing Claude deeper into healthcare workflows and ambient clinical AI.
