Boost clinician productivity and efficiency
Nuance Dragon Medical One is a secure, cloud‑based speech platform for physicians and other clinicians to securely document complete patient care in the EHR.
Benefits
Achieve higher quality documentation and greater flexibility
The patient story should be dictated by clinicians, not technology limitations. Conversational AI empowers physicians to document more naturally.
Always available
Dragon Medical One is designed for speed, accuracy, and flexibility, with personalized vocabularies and templates that can be accessed and shared across the widest range of devices in the industry.
Secure and compliant
Our solutions support HIPAA requirements for patient security and confidentiality by employing secure encryption methods throughout the workflow. Our cloud solutions feature 99.5% uptime and run on geographically dispersed, active‑active, data centers hosted on Microsoft Azure, a HITRUST CSF certified hosting infrastructure.
Greater accuracy
Achieve 99% accuracy with no voice profile training required, and a single cloud‑based profile that is auto‑established at first use. Manual activities such as accent adjustments and microphone calibration, are now automatic, providing greater accuracy, a lower word error rate, and an optimal clinician experience from the start.
Easy to install and maintain
No complex configurations; clinicians can begin dictating in less than five minutes using your existing infrastructure. Automatic updates mean less work for your IT staff and less hassle for your clinicians.
Budget friendly
Affordable subscription‑based pricing with little upfront capital investment makes it easier for healthcare organizations to plan budgets with predictable expenses.
Automate high‑value clinical tasks
To improve the exam room experience, Dragon Medical One supports virtual assistant workflow. This collaborative technology will automate high‑value clinical tasks and intelligent retrieval of information from the medical record.

Get clinicians up and running immediately across clinical workflows, care settings, devices, and apps for a seamless, consistent, and personalized voice experience.
Portability

Built-in productivity

Integrated CAPD
Users with access to Dragon Medical Advisor enjoy greater benefits from evidence‑based guidance when adding important details to existing diagnoses and discovering evidence of undocumented and unspecified diagnoses.
Embedded virtual assistant capabilities
Clinicians can now retrieve clinically relevant information with clinical content search using UpToDate® by Wolters Kluwer. This integrated skill allows users with UpToDate Anywhere licenses to ask natural language questions such as “Hey Dragon, search UpToDate for pediatric hypertension treatment options,” and “Hey Dragon, what are common symptoms of rosacea on UpToDate?”
Hands-free convenience wake-up word and always listening
Offer clinicians better control, ease of use, and greater freedom, allowing them to simply say “Hey, Dragon” to turn on the microphone, and completely eliminate the need for manual controls or clicks with always listening.
Actionable insights
Dragon Medical One Analytics offers a self‑service portal that provides utilization data, adoption trends, and peer benchmarking tracking to ensure user efficiency and help with the design of action plans for improvement.

Featured virtual assistant skill
Clinical Content Search with Wolter Kluwer’s UpToDate®
Now available—part of a new series of voice assistant tools in Dragon Medical One, the new embedded skill, Clinical Content Search, uses conversational intelligence to connect clinicians directly to relevant clinical topics when they ask natural questions such as, “Hey Dragon, search Up‑To‑Date for COPD symptoms.”
The new skill can help clinicians retrieve information in UpToDate, such as medication dosage schedules, disease states, drug interactions, clinical calculators, side effect symptoms and other continuously updated clinical content. Over 90 independent research studies have shown it is associated with improved outcomes—including reduced lengths of stay, fewer adverse events, and lower mortality.
This voice assistant skill for Dragon Medical One is available at no additional cost for Dragon Medical One clients with an UpToDate enterprise license.
