What You Should Know:
– Artisight announced a pilot program to transform clinical workflows by extending Microsoft Dragon Copilot with the Artisight Smart Hospital Platform.
– The collaboration brings ambient AI technology directly into the hospital room, creating a secure, hands-free, and device-free documentation interface for nurses.
Eliminating Technology Barriers at the Bedside
The central challenge for nurses is balancing hands-on patient care with mounting administrative requirements. Traditional methods often rely on shared workstations, manual logins, and personal devices, pulling focus away from the patient.
Artisight’s solution eliminates these barriers by removing phones and computers from the bedside. The core of the capability is a two-factor authentication system that pairs the nurse’s unique voice profile with their real-time location system (RTLS) badge. This ensures security while allowing documentation to happen seamlessly in the background as the nurse begins caring for the patient.
“By removing technology barriers like logins, phones, and computers from the bedside, we’re enabling more meaningful face-to-face interactions and creating the kind of patient care experience every clinician in the world wishes they had,” said Dr. Andrew Gostine, CEO of Artisight.
Measurable Improvements in Efficiency and Accuracy
The pilot is currently underway at a leading hospital innovation center. Initial findings indicate significant improvements in workflow efficiency and documentation quality:
- Higher Frequency and Accuracy: Nurses reported they were able to document with higher frequency, and the AI-generated clinical summaries provided a clearer, more accurate reflection of the care provided.
- Time Savings: Nurses also noted the hands-free platform would enable them to provide more hands-on patient care and save time on documentation.
