5 things to know about Nuance DAX Express
The clinical documentation application incorporates GPT-4
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).
