Microsoft-owned speech recognition company Nuance Communications has released a GPT-enhanced app that listens to and generates patient notes for doctors.
Called Dragon Ambient Experience (DAX) Express, the clinical documentation application relies on OpenAI's latest large language model, GPT-4.
The DAX AI technology "listens" to doctor-patient conversations and generates drafts of clinical notes from a visit.
- The medical notes are available for review and embedded into electronic records shortly after the patient's appointment.
- Azure-integrated DAX Express will launch in a private preview this summer.
- The app builds on Nuance's already existing Dragon Medical One speech recognition app, which is used by more than 500,000 doctors.
- Physicians can operate the former cloud-based workflow assistant using their voices. DAX Express will be available through the Medical One desktop.
Microsoft completed its $19.7B acquisition of AI speech-tech specialist Nuance a year ago.
- The deal combined Microsoft's cloud offering with Nuance's ambient intelligence and conversational AI technology, which was used in the creation of Apple's Siri.
