WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Envox Worldwide, a leading global provider of voice solutions, today announced that Adherence Technologies Corporation has selected Envox 6, the company’s award-winning communications development platform, to power the transformational product, AccuNurse(TM). AccuNurse is a speech-enabled system that offers a totally new approach to documentation at the point of care. The system focuses on both educating staff and dramatically streamlining staff activities and communications. A speech-enabled data collection solution designed specifically for senior care facilities, AccuNurse empowers nurses and nursing aides to improve the quality of care, and reduce the cost of providing that care.
“Adherence Technologies is in the process of revolutionizing how long-term care providers convey and document resident care instructions. In so doing, they’ve improved the entire nursing home resident care process,” said Mark D. Flanagan, president and chief executive officer of Envox Worldwide. “AccuNurse enables the staff in senior care facilities to focus on hands-on caregiving, lessening the time they spend on administrative duties. This leads to improved quality of life for the residents.”
The AccuNurse solution is a speech-activated, hands-free documentation and communication system that the nursing staff of senior care facilities can use to review resident care plans, and document care as it takes place. While walking down the corridor or making a bed, nursing assistants can communicate via a lightweight, wireless AccuNurse headset enabling them to spend more time on resident care and less on administrative tasks. Staff members are able to report information faster and more accurately than ever before. AccuNurse also includes extensive reporting capabilities that lead to improved staff management, resident care, and compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements.
The AccuNurse solution, developed and deployed by Adherence Technologies on Envox 6, features some of the most advanced technology integration on the market today. Speech recognition technology from ScanSoft, combined with VoIP technology, allows staff members to quickly communicate resident information directly to the AccuNurse database, dramatically reducing errors and costly manual transcription work.
Envox 6 is an open, standards-based communications development platform with integrated application development and management components that reduces the time, cost and complexity of creating voice solutions. Envox 6 provides a bridge between legacy systems and new innovative voice solutions, allowing customers to leverage prior investments in hardware, software, and solution development, while providing a smooth migration path to emerging standards and enabling technologies. Using Envox 6, developers can create a wide range of voice solutions through unmatched flexibility and broad support for these emerging standards and technologies, including VoiceXML, speech recognition, VoIP and Web services.
“We’re pleased to have Envox Worldwide as a technology partner,” said Alan Letzt, president and chief executive officer of Adherence Technologies Corporation. “Envox 6 is critical to our ability to respond to our customers’ needs by rapidly and cost-effectively delivering upgrades of our complex integrated technologies, as well as providing a solution characterized by excellent performance and reliability.”
