TietoEnator's voice control solution makes recording findings more efficient

TietoEnatorTietoEnator has developed a voice control solution for recording dental findings in an electronic patient data record. The development work was carried out in cooperation with three Finnish joint municipal authorities providing primary healthcare services. The purpose of voice control is to promote the efficiency and quality of oral healthcare.

"For dental professionals working alone, voice control means greater efficiency, more accurate information and improved hygiene at the workplace, as they can record their findings via microphone during the actual dental examination. The dentist or hygienist no longer needs to make initial notes on paper or move back and forth between the computer and the customer," says Jouko Kallio, Chief Dentist at the joint municipal authority for primary care in the Kaarina-Piikkiö region.

The basic idea of voice control is to imitate, with vocal commands, the use of a mouse and keypad and to record any findings in the graphical dental picture, which is included in the patient records in the Effica system. The application is based on the Speech Magic and Speed SDK solutions by Philips.

Results of a pilot project have shown that the application increases the efficiency of dental professionals working alone, as it omits the need for time-consuming manual note-taking and recording. This also improves the quality of the treatment, as it reduces the potential for making errors. The more efficient workflow also results in significant cost savings. Voice control gives staff more time for actual work.
