Revolutionizing EMR with AI-Powered Voice Integration: NeST Digital’s Success Story with a Top Electronic Medical Record Software Provider in Canada
Business Overview
The client provides Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software solutions to healthcare practices in Canada. EMR systems are digital versions of patients’ healthcare charts that allow clinicians to create, store, and receive them. The client wanted to enhance their EMR software with advanced text-to-speech features, automation, and voice recognition that complement existing clinical workflows through their intuitive cloud-based platform.
Challenge
The client’s objectives were to deliver a high-quality EMR software solution that meets the needs and expectations of their customers, but they faced several hurdles in achieving these goals:
- Integrating with third-party services such as blockchain networks, print/fax systems, and other EMR platforms
- Developing a cross-platform application that works seamlessly on Android, iOS, and web devices
- Reducing consultation time for doctors by enabling them to use voice commands instead of typing or clicking
- Providing an intelligent prescription mechanism that checks for drug interactions, allergies, and dosage errors using natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI)

- Tenant management web interface that allows administrators to manage users, roles, and permissions for different branches or clinics
- Print/fax integration that enables doctors to print or fax prescriptions directly from their mobile devices or web browsers
