For every hour doctors spend with their patients, they spend two hours on paperwork and clerical tasks.
When they do meet with patients, they spend most of the time glued to their computer.
EmpowerMD is an ambient intelligence that takes care of routine tasks, letting doctors focus on what they do best: taking care of patients.
EmpowerMD listens to clinical conversations between doctors and patients.
It integrates this content with information from the patient's EHR and automatically generates a medical summary.
This allows physicians to spend more face-to-face time with patients.
EmpowerMD is a learning system built on Azure. It uses a rich set of machine learning (ML) algorithms to tackle complex natural language understanding challenges.
The system is highly customizable. Doctors can easily edit the summaries generated by the system to suit their own individual style.
The system learns from all such interactions to achieve the best medical outcomes.
