Nuance Launches DAX Copilot

Nuance Communications has launched Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) Copilot, formerly known as DAX Express, serving as an artificial intelligence copilot for automated clinical documentation.

DAX Copilot uses conversational, ambient, and generative AI to enable physicians to create medical documentation. It automatically and securely creates draft clinical summaries of exam room or telehealth conversations in seconds for immediate physician review and entry in the electronic health record (EHR) system. Amplified by the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, DAX Copilot combines Nuance's conversational and ambient AI generative AI.

"Over the past four years, Microsoft has worked with partners like OpenAI to hone the power of generative AI to improve outcomes and experiences for all users. As a result, Microsoft is heralding a new and exciting era of AI-powered copilots to assist humans across industries, including doctors and nurses, with complex cognitive tasks," said Diana Nole, executive vice president and general manager of healthcare at Nuance, in a statement. "Healthcare is one of the biggest areas of potential for copilots given the tremendous administrative burden placed on clinicians and other medical staff. Taking a responsible approach to AI that centers around unparalleled collaboration with the world's top AI researchers and access to a trusted infrastructure and global platform, Nuance is arming healthcare providers with a trusted copilot that enables them with more time to take care of their patients."
