Scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH) in Krakow and the Proassist company will create an intelligent voice assistant for doctors and medical staff. The consortium received a grant of PLN 9 million for this purpose as part of the INFOSTRATEG competition of the National Centre for Research and Development, commissioned by the Ministry of Health.

The project involves the creation of a voice assistant that recognises the user’s natural speech and performs assigned tasks, which will support doctors and medical staff in their daily work. 

Commands given by medics will facilitate the issuing of e-referrals, e-prescriptions or sick leaves. The overarching goal of the project is to optimise doctors’ working time and reduce doctors’ paperwork associated with handling patients. Such a solution will translate into an increase in the specialist’s attention during the visit solely on the patient and a reduction in the duration of the visit and consultation itself.
