Microsoft & Autoscriber Partnership

Official Press Release

Autoscriber offers an ambient clinical intelligence product that supports doctors during the patient consultation using speech-based AI technology. The software automatically generates structured clinical summaries from the natural conversation between doctor and patient to fill the Electronic Health Record in real time. This saves doctors on average 5 minutes per consultation in documentation time, which results in an admin time saving of 20 to 50% per consult.  On top of that, this results in more complete, more structured clinical notes for the healthcare system.
‍
Doctors using Autoscriber report having more time and attention for the patient and feeling more relaxed in their work while they trust that the system captures all relevant information.
‍
“The patient consultation is one of the most central and important elements of healthcare. We aim to completely reimagine this process; eliminating administrative data capture tasks for the doctor, and supporting them all the way from preparation to follow-up with realtime data-driven insights and decision support” says Autoscriber co-founder and CEO, Jacqueline Kazmaier, “our mission is to enable human-centric and data driven healthcare, giving doctors time and attention for better quality patient care. Autoscriber has been rolled out across multiple departments at major hospitals, as well as primary care and psychology practices, and we are already seeing these benefits take shape”.
‍
Autoscriber has ongoing partnerships and integrations with established electronic health record providers like, Epic, CompuGroup Medical, Chipsoft, Nexus and Pharmapartners, making the solution widely available within the current workflow of healthcare professionals. In order to scale up efficiently within and across clients, this strategic collaboration with Microsoft is of major importance:
With a dual base in the Netherlands and South Africa, the company is well positioned towards serving the EMEA region with its solution.
‍
“We have aligned our entire organisation, technology and processes to servicing this multilingual and fragmented region. Autoscriber has a growing library of clinically validated templates suitable for different styles and norms of clinical note taking, we integrate with various international medical coding standards and support all EMEA languages and even Afrikaans. Furthermore, we continuously ensure regulatory compliance across these regions.” says Kazmaier. Serving a large customer base across regions requires significant technical resources.
‍
“The models we run to process the audio of doctor-patient interactions and generate structured clinical encounter notes quickly become GPU-intensive. With the worldwide shortage of GPUs, the support of Microsoft to scale our architecture and reserve technical capacity is critical to our ability to offer our solution to hundreds of clinicians at the same time at a single healthcare provider. Together with Microsoft, we have the ability to scale more quickly and efficiently than other providers” says Autoscriber co-founder and CTO, Koen Bonenkamp, “Microsoft has also been very collaborative with our AI engineers to further optimise our solution offering.”
‍
Microsoft has chosen to support Autoscriber as the solution provider for ambient clinical intelligence in the EMEA region.

“As Microsoft we aim to service our healthcare clients in the best way possible and to support our clients with the optimisation of their workflow and services. The administrative burden of health workers and the lack of structured and interoperable data are known problems,” says Ralph Haupter, President of Microsoft EMEA. “By supporting Autoscriber, as the leading provider of ambient clinical intelligence in the EMEA region, we believe Microsoft will positively contribute to its healthcare clients.”
‍
With the support of Microsoft, Autoscriber aims to become the EMEA market leader in the field of ambient clinical intelligence in the next 12 months, to accomplish a minimum saving of 500’000 hours of administrative work for doctors per year.
