SpeechMagic to integrate with RadConsult

  • 16 November 2007

Philips’ speech recognition platform, SpeechMagic, is to be integrated with Elsevier’s new RadConsult radiology diagnostic reference system, Royal Philips Electronics and Elsevier announced yesterday.

The integration will allow customers, and the partners of both parties, to use industrial grade speech recognition, with access to 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,” he added.

RadConsult aims to improve the diagnostic efficiency of the radiologist. Radiology images and differential diagnosis content are delivered through an easy-to-use website and organized around the radiologist’s workflow.

It is hoped that the integration of the RadConsult service with SpeechMagic will enhance the benefits of Radiology Information Systems (RIS) by giving radiologists access to information at the reading room workstation.

“We are excited about this partnership with Philips Speech Recognition Systems and how it will support our goal of improving the efficiency of the radiology practice. We are integrating more of our world-class, radiological reference information where health practitioners need it to support their diagnostic decisions,” says Brian Nairn, chief executive officer, Elsevier, Health Sciences Division.

Philips’ industrial grade speech recognition platform SpeechMagic is installed at more than 8,000 professional sites in 45 nations.
