Introduction<\/h1>\n

Speech recognition tools are one of the most exciting new technologies in healthcare. The principle behind this type of application is simple: it turns speech into text. As a result, doctors no longer have to type information \u2013 they can simply dictate their notes, and the generated text appears automatically in the system. <\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show that these types of tools actually save time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors using medical scribes complete documentation 35-40% faster than with traditional methods<\/span><\/a>. It’s no wonder that <\/span>more than 60 companies are now developing these types of solutions<\/span><\/a>, and that major EHR vendors are adding these capabilities to their medical systems.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Healthcare software must follow many rules, and the European Union has a complete set of requirements that vendors must follow when developing medical technology solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Speech recognition tools face a double challenge: not only do they handle sensitive patient data from interviews, but they also incorporate artificial intelligence to improve speech recognition. This combination means that developers must navigate multiple regulatory frameworks when creating these solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the following article, we will try to present the legal situation of speech recognition tools from the perspective of the Medical Device Regulation. We will answer the question of whether, and if so in what situations, this type of software should apply for the famous CE mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer depends on many factors. We invite you to read on!<\/span><\/p>\n
