Vista LifeSciences' neuropsychological assessment technology has been used to collect more than 400,000 neuropsychological assessments by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Utilizing Vangard’s AccuSpeech Mobile Voice Platform to record patient information greatly improves clinical care, decreases medical errors, and leads to faster, more accurate assessments and data collection. Chairman and Chief Operating Officer Mickey Lutz of Vista LifeSciences highlighted the importance of the partnership to offer users a technologically advanced method of data collection: "The success of Vangard's voice products in the commercial sector illustrates the value of voice-enabled data collection. This is a phenomenal opportunity to revolutionize data collection in the medical environments. This technology will free the hands and eyes of medical professionals and first responders to care for patients. Clinical care will improve. Data accuracy will improve."
"We have witnessed an amazing reception of the AccuSpeech Mobile Voice Platform into the commercial, retail and logistics sectors as people witness the increased accuracy and speed with which they can perform daily functions," said Bob Bova, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vangard Voice Systems. "This partnership will allow us to illustrate these same benefits to the health care industry while improving the quality of care. It is only fitting that our first efforts will be working with Vista LifeSciences to voice enable their STAT*Triage products for fast-paced triage environments where speed and accuracy are of utmost concern."
The partnership with Vangard Voice Systems will deliver highly productive and accurate voice capabilities to current and future mobile healthcare professionals working for Vista LifeSciences' public and private sector clients in clinical and triage medical settings. Using Vangard's AccuSpeech Mobile Voice Platform, medical and emergency management professionals will have "hands free" options, allowing them to greatly increase the quality of care as they assess an emergency management or triage scene and prepare initial evaluation and data collection.
Vangard's AccuSpeech Mobile Voice Platform will also be used to supplement Vista LifeSciences' neuropsychological assessment product suite by offering a voice enabled interface to collect data from patients and care providers. Vista LifeSciences currently provides clinical systems in the United States and Africa, and provides the Department of Defense with technology for neuropsychological assessment
