Microsoft’s OpenAI-based app instantly transcribes patient notes during doctor visits

Microsoft Speech recognition subsidiary Nuance Communications announced Monday Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) Express, an artificial intelligence-powered clinical note-taking application for medical professionals. DAX Express aims to reduce the administrative burden on physicians by automatically drafting clinical notes within seconds of a patient’s visit. The technology is based on a combination of environmental AI, which derives insights from unstructured data such as conversations, and OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-4. Diana Knoll, executive vice president of healthcare at Nuance, said the company wants to “get back to the joy of medicine” so doctors can treat more patients, she told CNBC.
