testingcatalog · x · 2026-07-20
Anthropic appears to be working on Claude Penlight, a healthcare-focused tool designed to assist clinicians during patient visits.
- It shows up as a separate item alongside Claude Code, Design, and Security.
- Starting a session requests microphone access and streams audio to an Anthropic backend.
- The system generates live transcripts, can distinguish speakers, and lets users hide/show the transcript while chatting with Claude in a side panel.
- The screenshot also suggests a clinical research mode that surfaces research by journal, authors, year, DOI, and PubMed links.
