Doctors in developing countries see a disproportionately large number of patients per day– sometimes over 60 patients per day– but lack the productivity-boosting tools that are ubiquitous in the West. That’s wrong and we can change that. As hospitals in LMICs transition to digitized care, they find that doctors type at an average of 21 words per minute. At 60 patients per day, a paperless transition becomes extremely unbearable and clinicians push back. Clinical speech-to-text eases data entry, accelerating EMR adoption so that hospitals maximize the benefit of digitized care.
