Nuance Communications plans to launch its new cloud-based Dragon Medical One speech recognition platform for the Australian market beginning next month, enabling greater efficiencies in clinical documentation and the ability to use clinicians' smartphones as a wireless microphone for dictation.

Dragon Medical One (DMO) will eventually replace the on-premise Dragon Medical Network Edition and Dragon Medical Practice Edition systems that are integrated into a number of electronic medical records and practice management systems, with mobility, better accuracy and the new PowerMic Mobile capability the key features.
