Speech Recognition for the Sterile Interaction with Information Systems in the Surgical Area

This paper describes how automatic speech recognition (ASR) can be used to explore electronic patient records (EPR) in a sterile environment. As an information display, we used a system that was developed for the presentation of patient data and for supporting surgical hand disinfection. The speech...

description This paper describes how automatic speech recognition (ASR) can be used to explore electronic patient records (EPR) in a sterile environment. As an information display, we used a system that was developed for the presentation of patient data and for supporting surgical hand disinfection. The speech recognition was performed using the Mozilla Web Speech API. A room microphone, a Jabra Box, and a directional microphone, a RØDE NT-USB Mini, were tested at various positions. Interactions with the EPR are triggered with a list of commands. The interaction was working as indented and test persons reported the system as intuitive.
