IXHEALTH: A Multilingual Platform for Advanced Speech Recognition in Healthcare
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, there are many healthcare systems focused on the opti‐ mization and improvement of processes such as the generation of medical records and medical test reports. The interaction with this kind of systems is mainly done through user interfaces that demand the use of a keyboard or a mouse, which reduces the productivity of healthcare professionals. For example, pathological anatomy professionals use both sight and hands to analyse a sample by means of a microscope; therefore, the use of information systems through traditional inter‐ faces (keyboard and mouse) involves a considerable waste of time and effort. In this sense, this work presents IXHEALTH, a multilingual platform for advanced speech recognition that allows healthcare professionals to perform transcription and dictation activities, as well as the definition and management of voice commands to interact with healthcare information systems. From this perspective, IXHEALTH was evaluated in terms of its ability to allow users to perform dicta‐ tion activities and to interact with healthcare information systems by means of speech recognition and natural language technologies. The evaluation results seem promising and have proved that IXHEALTH platform is highly useful to healthcare professionals.
