Nuance Healthcare has launched Dragon® Medical Mobile Search for the iPhone. Built by building on Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search applications for the iPhone, extending the proven power of mobile, voice-enabled documentation and search to the healthcare industry.

According to Nuance this free app is the fast, accurate and smart way for busy, mobile physicians to search online content on their iPhone™ using their voice. Whether physicians need drug-to-drug interaction information, the latest on new medications, an ICD-9 code look-up or a refresher on diagnosing a particular condition, Dragon Medical Mobile Search helps ensure they make medical decisions with the most complete and up-to-date information at the point of care.

This application is free for a limited time only.

Physicians simply speak their search queries and get simultaneous results from a variety of top websites and medical content sources including:

• IMO®
• Medline®
• Drugs.mobi
• Medscape®
• Google™

The innovative Dragon Medical Search Carousel allows physicians to quickly access results from some of the most widely respected sources of medical knowledge. It is one-stop shopping for physicians’ search needs, even when they are “hands-busy”. This application is recommended for use by nurses, clinicians and other mid-level providers only; it is not intended for use by patients or consumers.

FEATURES

• Fast, accurate, fully-automated speech recognition
• Horizontal tool bar enables fast access to alternative search sites
• Easy to modify or correct search queries by using a list of alternative suggestions

Dragon Medical Mobile Search is powered by Nuance’s world-renowned Dragon Medical software – the solution of choice for over 150,000 physicians – specifically designed to make searching the Internet on the iPhone™ easier than ever.

REQUIREMENTS

• Dragon Medical Mobile Search requires network connectivity (WiFi or 3G/EDGE).
• Dragon Medical Mobile Search works on the iPhone™, and on second and the third generation iPod™ Touch (external microphone required).

Dragon Medical Search does not upload or store any personal information. Spoken search queries are processed by fully-automated speech recognition technology in secure data centers with stringent privacy and security standards. These search queries are not associated with any personal data from your phone. Dragon Medical Search will utilize spoken speech queries collected over time to continuously improve and provide high speech recognition accuracy.
