Nuance Now Featured on EZ DERM Electronic Health Record App

The EZ DERM electronic health record iPad app is now powered by Nuance Communications' cloud-based Healthcare 360 | Development Platform, which lets physicians use their voices for app interaction and navigation, as well as for clinical documentation while on-the-go.

EZ DERM is the only dermatology-specific EHR that is solely based on the iPad mobile platform and employs patent-pending 3D anatomical maps of the human body, Nuance speech recognition, and clinical decision-support.

"There's broad physician demand for health IT applications, specifically EHRs, to be more user-friendly and intuitive," said Jonathan Dreyer, senior manager of mobile solutions marketing at Nuance's Healthcare Division, in a statement. "We've designed the 360 | Development Platform with the industry's ease-of-use demand in mind, and to provide developers with an easy-to-implement tool that will differentiate and enhance their m-Health applications. As the mobile clinician becomes more commonplace, we expect continued integration of our speech-enabled development platform as a means to drive an array of voice-driven healthcare apps aimed at simplifying the mobile experience."
