**EVENT RECAP — Rheumakademie Berlin**

- Speaker: Dr. Peer Aries, Rheumatology Center Hamburg
- Topic: AI in rheumatology & "getting rid of the chitchat"
- Audience: practicing rheumatologists across the DACH region

> **On camera:** *"My colleague finds it great, I find it totally great. I am significantly
>   more relaxed during visits because I know everything is being written down."*
>   — Dr. Peer Aries

At the recent **Rheumakademie Berlin**, Dr. Peer Aries (Rheumatology Center
Hamburg) took the stage to demonstrate the future of clinical documentation.
After testing established players like Jameda and CGM alongside newer
innovations, Dr. Aries shared an unfiltered look at his workflow with
**Nixi AI**.

## "I am significantly more relaxed"

For rheumatologists facing high administrative burdens, his verdict was
clear: Nixi AI isn't just a transcription tool; it is a filter for clinical
relevance. Admin workload drops, patient time rises, and referral letters
go out in minutes. Not hours.

## "Getting rid of the chitchat"

Dr. Aries admitted his initial skepticism: *"My worry was that it would
write down everything… 'How was your Christmas party?'… and flood my system
with useless information."*

He tested this live on stage. A patient discussed field hockey, the
"Sixpack League," and recovery times compared to friends. Instead of
transcribing the complaints about teammates, Nixi AI extracted the clinical
truth: *"Functional limitation after intensive physical activity with
delayed regeneration."*

## The end of "keyboard distraction"

The most profound impact wasn't digital — it was interpersonal. Dr. Aries
noted a shift in his own demeanor during patient visits.

> *"I am significantly more relaxed during visits. I don't write. I just
>   sit, I watch, and I know everything is being written down."*

## German compliance and customization

Highlighting the specific needs of the DACH market, Dr. Aries praised the
infrastructure: *"It is stored in the German Cloud in Frankfurt. It's not
just Europe-compliant; it's in Germany."*

He also demonstrated Nixi AI's prompt generator — showing how he instructs the
AI to write in "staccato" bullet points for his internal notes, but in full
sentences for his letters. Customization that legacy dictation systems have
struggled to match.

## Why this matters

Dr. Aries's presentation echoes the findings of the 2025 EULAR real-world
study: **ambient AI reduces consultation time without degrading clinical
quality**, and patients tend to prefer the eye contact that comes with a
keyboard-free exam room.

The shift isn't about replacing physicians — it's about removing the
workflow friction that sits between them and their patients.
