Philips, Elsevier integrate speech recognition and radiology

This will allow customers and the partners of both parties to use industrial grade speech recognition with access to world-class radiological information to assist them in increasing productivity and reducing medical errors during review and diagnosis of patient cases.
"Clinical knowledge is estimated to double every eighteen months," said Marcel Wassink, CEO of Philips Speech Recognition Systems.
"Interoperability between the RadConsult radiology reference system and SpeechMagic will provide radiologists with solid decision support based on the latest information from the field. SpeechMagic now not only speeds up the availability of medical reports but also helps ensure more accurate and evidence-based delivery of care."
