DAX Express is mainly aimed at medical staff, and can automatically generate draft clinical notes within seconds after a patient sees a doctor, thereby reducing the administrative burden of clinical care.
Diana Nole, executive vice president of Nuance’s medical division, said the functionality will be enabled through Dragon Medical One, the company’s voice recognition app, which is used by more than 550,000 physicians. Physicians can control by voice, view clinical systems and quickly access patient information. Clinical notes generated by DAX Express will appear on Dragon Medical One.
DAX Express was formerly known as DAX, an app launched by Nuance in 2020. DAX is able to translate verbal descriptions of visiting patients into corresponding clinical notes, which are manually reviewed to ensure accuracy and high quality. These notes will be generated within four hours of your visit. In contrast, DAX Express can generate clinical records in seconds for doctors to review and refer to. In addition, physicians are able to edit clinical notes at any time.
Nole said the company aims to reduce the time doctors spend on administrative tasks, thereby improving clinical efficiency and allowing doctors to “rediscover the joy of medicine.”
