Meghan Dowling, a computational speech and language scientist at T-Pro and ADAPT PhD graduate, featured last month on the AI Ireland Podcast to discuss her work in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and its impact on medical documentation. A finalist in the 2024 AI Awards Women in AI Ambassador of the Year category, Meghan is driving innovation in healthcare technology.
T-Pro aims to reduce clinicians’ paperwork burden by integrating AI-driven solutions, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care. Meghan highlights that over half of clinicians’ work involves documentation, which ASR technology helps streamline efficiently.
Accuracy is crucial in medical ASR, as misinterpretations can compromise patient safety. Meghan emphasises T-Pro’s in-house systems, ensuring precise speech-to-text conversion while addressing AI challenges like hallucinations and bias. By training on diverse datasets, T-Pro ensures inclusivity and reliability across different accents.
