I did some work at a startup that tried to solve a similar problem and currently finishing medical school. Nobody here is discussing the paperwork and burnout problem that exists in medicine that will make these tools valuable. Fortunately, language models used for summarization based on a transcript are much less likely to hallucinate compared to upscaling/denoising image algorithms. Recent LMs are scoring top marks on LSAT, so they are maintaining accuracy as they get larger. If doctors can save time, this will be useful for the patient in the long-run.

On-prem stuff is more tricky, but useful for privacy. Nvidia is supporting the space with their health AGX series.

An on-prem installation, assuming that it doesn't phone home to the mothership, is something I would entertain. But one that requires disclosure of medical information to a service provider would be a lot harder for me to accept.
