  • Publication number: 20190065464
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable non-transitory storage medium for communicating medical information based at least in part on an oral communication between a doctor and a patient is disclosed. In this method and system, doctor and patient's respective contexts is inferred from the oral communication. It is also preferred that diagnostic information and respective contexts of the communications can be also inferred. Then, a desired impact of a recipient to a written communication related to the oral communication is inferred. Once the desired impact is inferred, the system generates output text using an artificial intelligence system, or by accessing a database of a plurality of stock phrases, to have appropriate surface text, and subtext, and optionally appropriate tone. The output text can be selected as a function of inferred diagnostic information, the inferred doctor and recipient's respective contexts, the desired impact, and the stock phrases.

  • Publication number: 20190065462
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable non-transitory storage medium in which a statistical machine translation model for formatting medical reports is trained in a learning phase using bitexts and in a tuning phase using manually transcribed dictations. Bitexts are generated from automated speech recognition dictations and corresponding formatted reports, using a series of steps including identifying matches and edits between the dictations and their corresponding reports using dynamic programming, merging matches with adjacent edits, calculating a confidence score, identifying acceptable matches, edits, and merged edits, grouping adjacent acceptable matches, edits, and merged edits, and generating a plurality of bitexts each having a predetermined maximum word count (e.g., 100 words), preferably with a predetermined overlap (e.g., two thirds) with another bitext.

  • Publication number: 20190043486
    Abstract: A method for assisting the transformation of a dictated, into a structured and written, report within a specialized field. The method starts with using automated speed recognition to produce a preliminary textual representation, which it then transforms into a simplified and normalized input sequence, which it copies and then transforms the copy by replacing words with tokens appropriate to the class of word as known, rare, or reducible, thereby creating a tokenized input sequence. The method then identifies and removes any preamble from the narrative text and restores punctuation, before restoring for each token within the tokenized input sequence its separable individual and original word and thus producing punctuated narrative text for processing into the written and structured report.
