5 things to know about Nuance DAX Express

On March 20,?Nuance Communications?(a health tech company now part of Microsoft)?introduced ?Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) Express, a new?AI-powered?clinical documentation application.

Here are five key points:

• The app uses?conversational, ambient, and generative AI?to generate clinical notes that clinicians can review and complete following each patient visit.
• It is the first clinical documentation tool to use OpenAI's newest large language model,?GPT-4 , in conjunction with conversational and ambient AI.
• Its main goal is to?decrease administrative load?and free up professionals' time to interact with patients.
• Dax Express is?HIPAA -compliant.
• It will be offered to over 550,000 product subscribers later this year.

Two things come to mind:

1/ I said it before, I’ll say it again (and probably again in the future): This move further confirms Microsoft’s willingness to monetize its?significant investment ?in OpenAI.

2/ It’s another interesting use of generative AI technology in the clinical field following the release of?DocsGPT ?(a tool integrating a GPT model that streamlines administrative tasks, including drafting and faxing pre-authorisation and appeal letters to health insurers).
