Cerner Achieves 500th Patent With Voice-Assisted Technology
December 02 2019 - 4:13PM
Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN), a global health care technology
company, has achieved its 500th patent, a new innovative
voice-assisted technology designed to make it easier for clinicians
to document the details of a patient visit on a mobile device. This
milestone builds on Cerner’s legacy of technological advancement
and industry-leading patent portfolio, validating the company’s
rich 40-year history of transformation at the intersection of
health care and technology.
Documentation becomes easier, faster and hands free with
voice-assisted technology, bringing clinicians out from behind the
keyboard and instead engaging directly with patients about their
health. Cerner’s 500th patent expands its work in leveraging voice
inputs and natural language processing to reduce the clinician’s
documentation burden. The technology captures the verbal
interaction between a clinician and patient to document the medical
visit. Information relevant to the patient’s care is identified,
extracted and presented directly on the clinician’s mobile device.
The shorthand clinical note created helps the clinician complete
more comprehensive documentation at a later time.
“Our development of emerging technologies like voice recognition
will help arm clinicians with tools that empower them to more fully
engage with their patients and deliver smarter care,” said Dr.
Tanuj Gupta, vice president and physician executive, Cerner
Intelligence. “We’re tapping into our renowned history and
expertise in health care technology to set the pace of advancement
in the industry. Through our agile iterative approach, we’re
bringing new innovation to our clients faster than before with the
goal of making care delivery easier for clinicians and simpler for
patients.”
With its 500th issued patent, Cerner has signaled a competitive
edge in supporting clients through the next era of health care
digitization. The company’s strong commitment to R&D is proof
of its dedication to bringing forth new technologies that improve
clinician and patient experiences and revolutionize how care is
delivered. Leveraging its legacy of innovation and disruption,
Cerner continues to seek new ways to build on top of the platforms
it created and develop new solutions to shape the future of health
care.
Cerner’s patent program is constantly evolving to address health
care’s macro trends and advance the way clients deliver care. The
company is exploring additional patents that support the migration
of data to the cloud, intelligence and analytics to improve
clinician and patient experiences, and predictive analytics and AI
to improve health outcomes.
