NetSfere Integrates with Nuance’s Dragon Medical

NetSfere, a messaging and mobility solutions company, is partnering with Microsoft to equip healthcare providers with Nuance Communications' Dragon Medical speech recognition.

NetSfere's platform uses Nuance's Dragon medical speech recognition so that doctors, nurses, and front-line workers can converse using industry-specific vocabulary, such as anatomical and surgical terms, procedures, diagnostic tests, ailments, and prescription drug names, in a hands-free manner.

"Healthcare professionals are trusted with the careful handling of personal healthcare information, patient records, and confidential treatment plans. By integrating Dragon Medical speech recognition with NetSfere's protected platform, the sharing and discussing of this sensitive material is on an unmatched level not found in consumer-grade or other enterprise-grade communication platforms," said Harsh Mamgain, senior vice president of product at NetSfere, in a statement. "The technology picks up on the medical industry dialect and communicates updates in an accurate and efficient way that allows doctors and nurses to provide the best care to their patients."

"Dragon Medical is the newest and most capable conversational AI platform designed specifically for clinicians worldwide to deliver world-class experiences," said Dr. Markus Vogel, chief medical information officer and director of business strategy at Microsoft, in a statement. "Patients and healthcare professionals deserve the best innovations that will contribute to better outcomes and healthier lives."
