BOULDER, Colo.-Speech recognition software provider SandCherry Inc. unveiled its AppPackage suite of speech-enabled solutions for healthcare providers, aimed at improving patient services and reducing costs.
AppPackage allows healthcare providers to deploy advanced speech-enabled applications on mobile devices so they can easily set appointments, fill and check claims, confirm patient eligibility, verify coverage, find a physician or refill prescriptions. SandCherry also offers solutions to extend existing Web-based applications to phones or personal digital assistants.
“Incorporating advanced speech services to increase efficiency-without investing large sums of time or money-is a boon for healthcare providers struggling to handle increasing patient loads while reducing overhead costs,” said Charles Corfield, SandCherry’s president and chief executive officer.
SandCherry has developed similar solutions for other vertical markets, including the financial, retail and utility industries.
