3M Launches M*Modal Fluency Direct in Saudi Arabia

3M has made its 3M M*Modal Fluency Direct speech and artificial intelligence-powered technology available to healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia.

3M M*Modal Fluency Direct is an all-in-one solution to help doctors conversationally create, review, edit, and sign clinical notes directly within electronic health records. It uses artificial intelligence to deliver proactive nudges to clinicians as they document patient encounters in electronic health records, which enables them to proactively address any common documentation shortcomings at the time of note creation.

"In recent years, healthcare has evolved considerably. Today, there is a clear need to reduce the administrative burden on healthcare professionals, which will allow them to have more time to focus on patient care and improve the overall patient experience," said Erik Van Hoeymissen, vice president of global clinician solutions at 3M Health Information Systems, in a statement. "3M M*Modal Fluency Direct is a solution that enables clinicians to do exactly that: it significantly speeds up the clinical documentation process by enabling a voice-driven conversational interaction with the electronic health record, while at the same time improving clinical documentation quality by proactively nudging clinicians and surfacing important information in real time through AI-based speech understanding technology."
