Dragon Copilot: New Voice-Activated AI Assistant
The Microsoft has introduced a new voice-activated AI assistant called Dragon Copilot.
- Dragon Copilot is the new healthcare AI tool which is being offered as part of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare.
- It is designed to help doctors and healthcare professionals transcribe clinical notes and draft paperwork as well as quickly search for information from medical sources.
- It harnesses the natural language voice dictation and ambient listening technology developed by AI voice company Nuance.
- These capabilities have been further fine-tuned using generative AI and adapted to incorporate healthcare safeguards.
- It is built on top of existing tools such as Dragon Medical One (DMO) and DAX rolled out by speech recognition company Nuance Communications.
- It can be used to draft memos and notes in a personalised style and format.
- Besides voice-to-text transcription, the Dragon Copilot user interface also allows users to submit prompts or use templates to create AI-generated notes.
- Apart from documentation work, the AI assistant allows clinicians to search for general-purpose medical information from trusted sources.
- It can also be used to automate key tasks such as conversational orders, note and clinical evidence summaries, referral letters, and after-visit summaries, in one centralised workspace.
- It can be accessible through a mobile app, browser or desktop, and it integrates directly with several different electronic health records.
