Microsoft just announced a new AI tool by Nuance, a company which itpurchased in 2022for $19.7 billion. The solution is called Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) Express, or DAX Express for short. It brings together conversation AI and OpenAI’s GPT-4 to automate clinical documentation.
The goal of the tool is to reduce the burden on medical professionals created by recording patient data accurately. The medical field requires a massive amount of notes and documentation to ensure proper care, and automating some of those notes should reduce burnout, according to Microsoft.
Microsoft outlined five outcomes that it believes will come as a result of today’s announcement:
Similarly toCopilot, which Microsoft announced earlier this month, DAX Express is a tool that uses AI to help professionals without replacing them. Medical experts can review the notes generated by DAX Express before saving them, which is especially important within a medical environment.
Microsoft’s announcement post for DAX Expressemphasized that the tool meets the company’s standards for data security and privacy, as well as itsAI standards. Microsoft has received criticism recently forcutting its AI ethics team.
DAX Express will be in private preview in summer 2023.
