Nurses Shouldn't Be Typists

Voice charting with real-time SOAP structuring is a care interface that allows nurses to dictate clinical notes, automatically structuring the data and inserting it directly into major EHR systems. For healthcare enterprises, this technology reduces charting time by 87% and returns 30% of the shift to bedside care.

TL;DR Nursing spends up to 2 hours per shift typing progress notes into the system — time stolen from the patient. Voice charting with real-time SOAP structuring returns 30% of the shift to bedside care. Native integration with Tasy, MV and major EHR systems.

Technology promised to help, but transformed nurses into screen bureaucrats. Care happens at the bedside, touching the patient — not sitting at the nursing station typing.

Voice as a care interface

With the Voice Charting app, the nurse dictates while examining: "Patient eupneic, healthy color, venous access in right upper limb without inflammatory signs."

1
Recognizes technical terms — medical/nursing vocabulary (eupneic, flogistic, anisocoria) with >97% accuracy in PT-BR.
2
Structures in SOAP — Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan. Separates clinical findings from interventions.
3
Inserts into the EHR — Tasy, MV, Soul MV, Epic. Correct fields, no copy-paste rework.
⚠️ LGPD and ambient noise Ward audio captures other patients. Requires: directional mic + background voice suppression, on-device processing when possible, short raw audio retention (24-72h), explicit legal basis in care consent, LGPD + CFM Resolution 2.314/2022 documented.
Richer records, less burnout, more time with the patient. Give your nurses back to care — they weren't hired to type.
