2016

Rostelecom plans for a project in Murmansk

In December 2016, it became known about Rostelecom's plans to save doctors from the need to write and even print. The state operator proposed to develop a system with which doctors can fill out medical records by voice.

According to a Life letter sent by Rostelecom Vice President Artemy Prokopenko to the Director of the Department information technology and Communications, Ministry of Health Elena Boyko the company plans to conduct a "pilot project providing for the use of speech recognition technologies for doctors."

Rostelecom creates a system for recognizing the speech of doctors

It is assumed that the professional medical speech recognition service proposed by Rostelecom will allow doctors to dictate information for maps, protocols and other documents through a special worn headset. The operator declares in the service the quality of speech recognition at the level of 96% and the ability to recognize all medical terms and expressions, as well as eliminate extraneous voices and noises.

The advantages of the new system in Rostelecom are the following: a significant reduction in the time for filling out the necessary medical documents, an improvement in the quality of medical services due to the ability to spend the time freed up on examining the patient and making a diagnosis, an increase in the number of patients served per day, an improvement in the quality of life and health of citizens.

Rostelecom intends to pilot test the technology in the Murmansk Regional Clinical Hospital named after P.A. Bayandin and, possibly, in seven more medical institutions in the region.^[1]
